At work we have a bunch of phones that were just plugged in sitting at my desk randomly. I got tired of the mess and 3D printed a tower to put them in. Complete with trays to quickly slide them in and out, fans to keep them cool and, slide in filters for the fans.
I need to finish some last modifications before I share it all. But if anyone’s interest I’ll try to share the link.

I had to fix some crap in the kitchen and needed custom brackets to attach lighting under the cabinets in certain spots. It is pretty satisfying to go from a few measurements to, in a few hours, having custom parts that 100% did not exist before and couldn’t be found in any store.
PLA+ is an awesome material.

I have a second hand little portable vacuum cleaner - we used to call them Dust Busters, not sure if there’s a more generic name for them these days. Anyway, because it was second hand, it didn’t have any of the attachments. Was able to buy a bunch on eBay that were sort of close, then 3D print an adapter to make them fit.

I have literally printed hundreds of parts, most of them custom made.
From the top of my head:
- a box to transport extra Framework expansion cards
- custom hooks to attach luminous garlands to a tiled ceiling for my wedding
- custom attachments for various devices and tools
- kitchen and bathroom quality of life improvements
- a structure for my Volca mini-synths
- an ergo mech keyboard
- a 100% self designed F1-inspired sim racing wheel (WIP)
- etc.

I make one off fixtures to position parts for fiberglass layups or woodworking and its amazing to be able to get really precise fitups without needing a cnc machine or expensive metal for single use stuff.

@Interstellar_1 Backpack carrier clips for #bicycle .. something similar to this: thingiverse.com/thing:4922090
Did a little mod to make them fit to D-clips on my backpack and effectively converted it into pannier backpack 😀

Portable case for my mavic mini, more compact than the original carrying case, gridfinity organizer for my drawers… can fit s lot more stuff and super organized, stands, racks for my mechanical puzzle collection, protectors for my FPV drone camera and arms, tons of accessories for FPV controller, fixed a broken camping chair by cloning the plastic feet that joins the rods of one leg. Broken adapter for my vacuum cleaner, broken battery case for my electroacoustic guitar, and …well the list goes on and on…

A piece of plastic broke off from my laptop once. It was supposed to hold one of the two screws fixing the cover of the RAM & drive section and now there was just a larger round hole. I’ve measured the hole and the screw, designed a replacement in Blender (not identical, I wanted something more solid and reliable) and printed it; took two attempts to get the shape perfectly right. Have had zero issues with it in all these years.

I made and printed a dice chandelier. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4860495
4 years running and only the d6 needs reprinting. (It’s a hair too low)

I printed one of the ukuleles on printables.
I designed my own wall hooks, those are pretty great.
Made a stove knob to replace the broken one on my range.
Made a shelf for my freezer out of petg because the original one didn’t fit properly and kept falling.
But the crown for me is a dentist office had this little bite block that people would bite down on when they did a 360 xray. The company wasn’t making it anymore so they were cleaning it and reusing it. I bought some of that anti bacterial pla and reverse engineered the bite block. Mine wasn’t perfect but it was close enough. Made them like 75 of them.

Ok, that’s pretty cool
