Re: Things I would like to 3D print
#3Good list! Couple thoughts - if you are using some of these items with kids (the replacement part example) it's worth considering the types and materials of the filament you are using. Some are safer than others, depending on the application. If you are using for food storage, there are ways to take otherwise unsafe materials and make them safer for storing edible/consumable materials.
If there is something out there you need, I'd recommend searching Thingiverse, Prusa, and Thangs.com as they all have large libraries of free 3D printable objects.

#4> replacement bits for kids toy sets
We recently took out my old Crossbows and Catapults set, so my kids can play with it. Unfortunately, only one of the crossbows is still functional, as the plunger on all the others broke. I'd love to be able to 3D print new plungers so that we can use them again. When I checked on ebay, these games were going for hundreds of dollars (though spare parts can probably be scrounged up for much less).

#5I got a 3D printer earlier this year for no other reason that it was on sale. I cannot even begin to describe how much fun I've been having with it. Funny enough, I've had to print some of the things on the list. I have a pile of ~10 keyboard legs right next to me on the shelf, they often take a hit when I'm angry at something.

They are shockingly useful for real world, functional needs.
If your interested in digging in more within some generally positive and positive communities, I'd recommend r/3dprinting and r/functionalprint.

I got one second hand from someone I worked with who was moving away. I also didn't realise how much fun it would be. There's great satisfaction from tuning the device to print perfectly and it forces your CAD skills to improve. And of course, being able to print little gizmos to fix things around the house is great too.

#8I wanted to 3D print infinite LEGOs, but I was told that typical machines are not precise enough for this task.

#9/r/functionalprint is a good place for inspiration if you want to use a 3D printer for useful things.

Years ago I owned and worked with tons of different FDM printers. They were always needing a height calibration or nozzle unclogging or something else. Does yours seem to work reliably? Honestly I got to the point where I just thought FDM would never be a reliable tech but I would love it if I was wrong.
If yours is reliable, can you tell me what brand it is?
