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

I previously also made this custom tool to pull up a difficult shower-drain grate… then also made a new drain filter that significantly improved over the performance of the old one.

And when my rattly office vent cover finally annoyed me enough… I fixed that, too.

@marcoarment is that photo from the 3D printed version? The quality looks amazing

@pfernandes Yup!

@marcoarment which material did you use for printing?
Show threadMarco ArmentFeb 22

@pfernandes That's just black Bambu PLA Basic.

I jumped through some support hoops to print it face-up, such that the face you're seeing was the top face during printing, which gives it that smooth finish.

@marcoarment nice, that smooth finish was what caught my eye 👌

@pfernandes Here's a photo right after the print completed. You can see some of the massive support under it. (And I used a support-interface material between them for clean removal.)
