  • I generally come across specific things that prompt me to print a custom solution for my life. I wouldn’t be surprised if there literally isn’t any truly useful better-3d-printed-than-purchased thing that someone can recommend for you. (But maybe I’m just not imaginative enough :))

    Maybe the biggest category of things is replacement parts for stuff around your house. The $7 doohickey might cost you $1+time to print instead.

    That said, here are some things I’ve printed for use around my house, which might give you some ideas for your own life:

    • drain spouts with hose connection to route water from my gazebos “gutters” to the ground instead of just splashing down out of a hole
    • a cover for the switch on my floor lamp so the light can only be toggled with the wall switch instead of in 2 places
    • wall mount for my cable modem/router
    • temporary oil cap replacement for my car when I accidentally lost it after changing the oil
    • custom tool holders to 5-S my workspace
    • large v block clamps for my drill press
    • riser for my bench top power supply, to tilt it at a better angle for viewing
    • infinite toys for my kids
    • replacement part for a model kit that my kid accidentally broke
    • handlebar basket custom sized for my kids bike
    • replacement latch clip for my car’s fuse cover

    Can I just say that as someone who only codes tangentially to my work, code and documentation that uses the same word 2 or 3 times in an expression, when they mean different things, is such an immense pet peeve of mine when learning something new.

    I’m already struggling with everything else about it, and now I have to parse out which lady is which and what the hell each one is supposed to be

    object Object(object = object);

    Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.
