eh, I feel like a lot of people are interested in one just to print a bunch of shit that they won’t use
I have three. my original one (ender 3), and two new bambu printers (a1 and a1 mini)
obviously I never use the ender anymore. I mostly just use the a1 mini now, because it’s quieter than the a1 and the majority of the prince I do fit on its smaller bed just fine
I use it for functional stuff. When it’s printing, it’s very convenient. It’s not printing all the time.
here’s a list of stuff I semi recently printed:
garbage can lid knob
drill template
shower hook
bracket to hold my computer external power brick on my monitor mount arm
Kindle stand (although the model I found online sucks and I’m going to just make a better one. or I’ll just make one out of wood)
spacer to fix my car fob button
bracket to raise the rear leg of the TV stand up to tilt the TV forward
sheath for a very sharp paint scraper
sheathes for very sharp chisels
sheath for pointy awl
custom mounts for my bike peripherals (camera, computer)
bracket to hold my Eero blob on a shelf edge
Oh yeah I also printed a centering three jaw chuck that I found online, which actually makes a great fidget toy. I printed that as a test for trying to print a chuck so I could actually turn something on my wood lathe. I ended up going with a four jaw chuck and it actually worked pretty damn well.
