I’m going to have access to a 3D printer for a few days. I know two friends who’ve used them, but it’s only been for art and figurines, or professional purposes.

Are there any other cases you can think of where a custom-printed item is better than the myriad of mass-produced plastic items?

    For lots of stuff 3D printing makes a lot of sense.

    Recently I bought a 3-pack of little baskets from the dollar store for $1.25, which are the perfect size to hold quarter sheets of paper. I know I could have researched it on thingiverse, gone to the makerspace, and printed one, but I think it was faster and cheaper to buy it at the store.
