I've really gotten into 3D printing since our family got an awesome Bambu printer last fall.

I find SO many household problems that can be solved, or projects that can be done better, by quickly making little custom parts like these.

What are they? Doesn't matter!* They printed in 5 minutes and helped me with a project. (And I'm still making all of my custom models in TinkerCAD, a web app designed for children, because it's so fast and easy.)

* installing some custom cove lights in my office

@marcoarment Happy to see you join the club. It’s both fun and practical.

When/if you reach the limits of Tinkercad, take look at Shapr3D. Pricey, but both accessible for beginners and hugely powerful as you skill up for more sophisticated shapes

@erik @marcoarment I used Shaper3D and it's very good, but have mostly moved to Onshape now (which is free but everything is public unless you pay small fortune). Onshape is much better for assemblies, and now I've got used to it I'm finding I can't go back to Shaper3D, which is a shame cuz it is much nicer in many ways.
