I’m going to have access to a 3D printer for a few days. I know two friends who’ve used them, but it’s only been for art and figurines, or professional purposes.
Are there any other cases you can think of where a custom-printed item is better than the myriad of mass-produced plastic items?


I’ve printed lots of functional stuff. Custom BedJet fan routing, angled connectors for deck rails, a wall mount to hold my EV plug, etc.
Most recent functional print, I printed some of these sheet stays for my bed.
