This deserves its own thread. Pure organised 3D files only

That thread is cluttered

I'm gonna use the fuck out of this thread. I need reasons to buy a printer.

The only useful thing I've found is a tool to hold 3 grocery bags at a time. it's a loop you put your hand thru and it has three hooks on the bottom.

I have one in a drawer somewhere

is that a dust collector?

If it helps you decide, having a 3d printer has been really great for situations when you want to make small parts with really specific shapes that are otherwise difficult or time-consuming to produce. Like you, I didn't really have many good reasons to buy a 3d printer, but it really started proving its worth over time since I got it. I literally had nothing to print after I built it but over the last few months I've been using it for everything from PC parts to prototyping (like it's meant to be used for).

I have to say though, it's a pretty niche tool - I wouldn't trust a 3D printed to hold a lot of weight, and I'd only recommend buying one if you're either some sort of inventor and/or you're accustomed to making MacGyver fixes and want a cleaner way of doing things. If you ask me it's not really worth the money or time if you just want to print little gadgets and models that you could probably find at a dollar store anyway.

3.5'' adapter for 2.5'' SSD's - when you want to mount an SSD on your desktop but it doesn't have 2.5'' slots.

Ask yourself this:

"In my builds or repair projects I have the need for specifically taylored plastic pieces"

If the response is yes buy one, now, you will see the 3D printer as just another tool.

If the response is no, well you will have a cute small millenium falcon and yoda bust, the printer can be an amusing toy.

Does this work? I don't know about any other anons but when I had a wardrobe the space wasn't limited by the number of hangers I could squeeze in but by the thickness of the clothes I could cram in.
I suppose if you were hanging something really thin it might work or had really really thick hangers?
I don't have a wardrobe anymore I burned it on bonfire night. Just keep my clothes in a pile on the floor.

Got access to a printer at my workplace, so can print anything as long as it's SFW. After a week of printing wargame models, figurines and a few gadgets and hooks, flowerpots, fridge magnets.. the game was up. It prints weak plastic, strong plastic takes a day and 25m of fila. The cheapo versions often have no heatbed, so either avoid all prints with a flat base (a lot more than you think) or tinker forever to get it flat.
Would spend up to 300 $ as a toymaker, but otherwise nope. It gets old.

pla doesn't require a heat bed. If you're having leveling issues a raft will help quite a bit, but isn't a true solution.

>>1108038
>but isn't a true solution.

The true solution is to realize using a poorly tuned printer you have laying around at work to print trinkets is nothing like diving into a hobby and building custom practical prints for whatever projects you may have.

Can you 3d print with wax? Like paraffin, beeswax, etc?

That could revolutionize lost wax casting

>>1108231
People already do lost casting with just the plastic already.

Google Lost PLA casting. Im not sure how good or bad it is, dont know anything about casting.

>when you want to mount an SSD on your desktop but it doesn't have 2.5'' slots

just leave it inside somewhere where it won't collide with a fan, ssds don't need to be mounted with screws

>>1110222
That would fuck up cable management

I'll ask here as well, since the other thread seems to be moving slow so why not:
Because I'm a stingy fuck, I got my self a 3d printer to print out mini war gaming stuff.

Anyone know of any sites devoted to it? Be it files or tips? Specifically, warhammer fantasy models (I already find a fuck ton of 40k shit), and maybe flames of war stuff.

I have tested it, it works, probably not for hanging thick winter jackets but it does save some space. Good way to store numerous shirts. It takes away the thickness of the hanger and shoulder area and stacks it downwards.

Having it "Just rattle around in there" is not a valid alternative. This thread is for people who already have a printer and want to make something useful, not stuff to justify buying one.

>>1108231

Actually there are printers that do wax, but they're expensive industrial behemoths, mainly intended for ultra-fine jewellery designs. Check out Solidscape's machines.
