What are you 3D Printing? Or: What would you 3D Print?

MicroCenterOfficial

The weekend is upon us, and that seems like a great time for a long 3D printing project. Sure, there are treasure chests and Raspberry Pi cases and tool kits galore, but there's also a lot of wild and creative stuff people have made for 3D printers.

What are you printing? Or, if you don't have a 3D printer but just like looking through the archives of printable files, what would you print?

My wife........ The 3d print can't talk back.  And I'm not going to program it to either.

I don't have a 3D printer but would love the ability to print little replacement parts, etc. Although there are a lot of cool multi-day worthy projects out there.

Some kind of 3-D business card that unfolds flat 3.5 inches by 2.0 inches, but folds into some kind of 3-D object like a car or building or robot.

I would print water tight reserviors then attach fittings and use epoxy to form the body of the distroplates to see if it would result in inexpensive cooling kit alternatives.

Well, I'd have started on printing some Pi4 and Jetson Nano cases...had the Ender3 V2 that you sold me actually was "complete" as the opened box label claimed... No bowden, X timing belt or hot-end pneumatic tube. Having to go back to the store tomorrow. Same goes for my BL Touch. You said it was complete- but it's missing the probe tip and only has the spare- along with it really being only for the Pros you have in inventory...not for the v2 boards even though you could adapt it.

That being said, I print repair parts for my Fourtwo Smart with the one I currently have, along with all sorts of simple marvels and fixes for things. Pressure feet for a cargo carrier for the Smart's one of those examples.

Everything. I've heard your in house Inland filament is rebranded esun. I've loved it, and it's a great price so that's really good if true. It's really good filament regardless. It's all I buy anymore. You guys should advertise it more.

Today I'm starting a S&W Shield in Glass Light Blue. Just plain PLA, I know I should use + but it's what I have. Should be fine.

Previously I printed out a set of Futurama figurines, but painting them is proving to be a big PIA. Should have scaled them up a bit. Might redo them all.

I'll probably do some large Super Mario prints in the near future. It's a lot easier to paint larger pieces.

Those projects sound cool! We'd love to see some pictures here on our Community!

Advertise it more, eh?

Well, we do have a 5% discount off Inland firmament running on Amazon through the end of today (4/30).....
