Beyond the easy answers of replicating the machine itself or covering basic needs, I think it would be interesting to make a super computer with a small form factor capable of mind uploading. Then you print a replacement body in a position that fits within a cubic meter and presumably you can extend your life for a bit. A simpler alternative would be to replicate medicines that have been shown to extend healthspans in the short term and just take them in the recommended dosage when you need to.

I'm mean, obviously Kelly Brooke.
6 kilos of fine aged opium please
Any warzone is about to go absolutely nutty.
Tbh, big corporations will buy it off from desperate people for $2000 and use it to print machines that bulk-produce graphene and micro-fusion reactors and finally have the tech to seal off from Earth and leave ruins behind.
People thought replicators will solve everything but actually big corporations still win, and the economy continues. What’s valuable is the IP or blueprint or knowledge etc. Yes, you can print everything, but do you have a team of engineers who use this replicator to rapidly iterate and develop cutting-edge technologies such as teleporters or warp drives? Too bad you have to pay something for it.
I make another Elon.
And then another on the next day, and then another etc. When I have got a dozen of them, I let them loose on the real one and on each other and watch whatever happens.
Next I make another Trump...
