Mildly Interesting

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.
