      The Prusa brand printers are printed by their own printer models and sold that way.

      Having built a number of Repraps, “nearly everything” is highly exaggerated. I have seen 3D printers with an almost entirely printed frame, but using off the shelf T slot rails is a lot more time and cost effective.

      It is currently not possible to print the control board, wiring, sensors, hot end, motors, heaters, bearings, slides and rails necessary for a 3D printer. Some of the mechanical parts and a lot of the bracketry that holds the frame together can be 3D printed.

    What kind of car? Is there a specific car model that has a render ready for printing?

  You can make nice little self watering pots with a 3d printer and the right filament.

  Those extending swords are really fun.

  There are also 3d puzzles you can make.

  You can also print models you’d like to paint as minis. You just need the model, sandpaper, primer and some paint.

    These are great ideas! Maybe I’ll do a set of Chess pieces 🤔

  Ultra specific storage cubbies for your favorite 5 tools. Label tags. Cabinet door knobs. Print in place toy cars with rolling wheels and doors that open. Compliant mechanisms. A coin sorting device. If they can print flexible things, phone cases.

  Do not expect anything 3d printed to be food safe.

  Take a look at your hobbies and go on Etsy to find accessories for them. High chance is someone is making and selling a 3D printed item.

  For example, an Apple Air tag case/holder for your bike.

  Go to printables.com or thingiverse.com (I personally prefer printables) search for whatever your hobby is. And print something for that.
