Life with a 3D printer

Having a 3D printer is awesome. But what do you actually print with it? Foremost a lot of calibration pieces trying to find the best parameters for the printer and used material.

When the machine is calibrated and running nicely it is time to repair stuff around the house. For example making a new rose for a watering can (the original one was got lost thanks to the cat).

Also, one can print out some hooks for bath towels.

Basically you can orint all kind of plastic parts. For example a carabiner hook…
