What would you 3D print for yourself vs. for others?

Say you had a 3D printer, is there anything you feel isn't looked into well enough?

3D printers offer us all the room for upsells once you learn how to throw an SVG into FreeCAD...
 
The question is: What would You 3D print for yourself? :p
What would You 3D print for me? :anyway:

I would 3D print for myself some lego pieces, to build airplanes, ships and stuff, things I missed in the young ages (I build some kinds of airplanes, but not really airplanes). :confused:

I'm a sl*t for anything wall-mounted, 8x'ed some cash by breaking Montserrat into 15 different plates for a barbershop nearby

I've been printing things like jewellery boxes and that to learn different ways to create latches, hinges, joints and that

Now I'm just trying to take over everything hehe

I have light filament that I can make FPV drones with if I buy the mechanics...

I'd print for you a Gridfinity-like stackable storage shelf for your mobile devices:O
 
3d printing ancient artifacts, sculptures, and other historical items would be interesting using museum scans, etc. I always enjoy your creativity, keep having fun while making money!
 
Honestly the accessories and replacement parts market is underexplored. People are always breaking the same components, nozzles, bed clips, cable chains, and buying them retail is overpriced for what they are.
Custom enclosures and mods for specific printers are another one. The community designs them but nobody really packages and sells them properly with good instructions.

You're actually on to something, you should see the difference in my wide/tall prints with a diffuser made from PETG of all things... If I was to print a diffuser using ABS, alongside all else I've done to improve performance, it'd actually make a marketable kit

Look at 3DFarmers for example, a kit to automate the newer machines

Or recreator3D for turning an old printer into a filament extruder and spooling kit... The sky is the limit

Ooooh, I wonder if that Köln castle has any 3D files to print, I'm sure I posted something about that here last year

I really appreciate it dude, thanks for the enthusiasm! Everything's an earner if you hate hard enough
 
Turns out my PLA Lite isn't PLA Aero, just a marketer wannabe being tricked by marketing buzzwords

How do you like them apples, suppose I'll just mess with the new painting settings!
 
Bro, Nathan, i'm trying to get in touch with you and i don't know how. Could you please DM me. I've been around BHW since 2011. I'm building some stuff and could really use your help. I'm in Dublin. Please DM as i can't
