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?

    Just buy a 3d printer and you will find that there are a bajillion doohickeys and whatsits that you never knew you needed. Half of my house is now 3d printed.

      it makes me wish that someone with 3d printers would offer to print things out for other people small fee.

      i’ve got lots of broken plastic things that i glued/duck-taped/melted together because they were integral to how something (most appliances) function and i would pay someone to copy and print out a replica of it so that i can replace it.
