7 (more) functional 3D Prints you’ll actually use!
3D printing has revolutionized the way we create and design objects, and it’s not just for prototypes or trinkets. There are so many practical and functional items you can print yourself using a 3D printer. Check out these 7 (more) functional 3D prints that you’ll actually use!
1. Key holder
Never lose your keys again with a custom 3D printed key holder. You can design it to match your home decor and keep all your keys organized in one place.
2. Phone stand
Watch videos or video call hands-free with a 3D printed phone stand. You can adjust the angle and height to suit your needs.
3. Cable organizer
Tired of tangled cables? Print yourself a cable organizer to keep all your cords tidy and easily accessible.
4. Toothpaste squeezer
Get every last drop of toothpaste out of the tube with a 3D printed toothpaste squeezer. It’s a simple but practical item that can save you some money in the long run.
5. Wall hooks
Hang up coats, bags, or hats with custom 3D printed wall hooks. You can design them to match your style and they are strong enough to hold most items.
6. Plant pots
Add some greenery to your home with 3D printed plant pots. You can create unique shapes and sizes to fit any plant you want to display.
7. Drawer organizers
Tired of rummaging through a messy drawer to find what you need? Print yourself some custom drawer organizers to keep everything tidy and in its place.
These are just a few examples of the many functional 3D prints you can make at home. With a little creativity and some design skills, the possibilities are endless. So why not give 3D printing a try and personalize your space with practical and functional items that you’ll actually use!
For just a fuel funnel PLA or PETG are fine. They aren't going to melt on contact or severely degrade or anything. As soon as the gasoline evaporates, they'll just be dry again. There are submersion tests showing it hardly affects them after a long period of time. TPU is also very fuel resistant and I have even used it as a gas tank gasket material. I would not make a gas container out of any 3D printed material without extensive testing and vetting obviously, but a funnel is a funnel. Also air is a good insulator so just leaving the walls of the koozie hollow is a good bet. That's why thermoses are double walled.
off topic, isn't it playback? you sound too clear for the video hahaha
“It’s a Stanley set, but I haven’t figured out how to drink from these yet.” 😂
your microphone quality seems like your doing a voiceover but the lips are matching and it just seems weird to me
Thank you for some great ideas. Going to make a set of Nut driver handles.
In YouTube's infinite wisdom it just now showed me your channel. You seem to check all the boxes: Humor-check, interesting-check, functional designs-check, actual CAD files for you projects-double check, overall fun and entertaining use of my time-check. Like-check. Subscribed-check. Maybe you might want to consider making a short video on making some checkers or something.
I too, enjoyed the subtle jokes. And you don't act goofy like a few of them do. Great information and thanks for providing the files. I'm just getting into 3D printing and trying to learn as much as possible before I get my printer, which I've already picked out … Bambu P1S BTW, I'm a 70 yo woman. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
The paper bag was awesome. Subscribed on that alone. "Close enough." I was chuckling at every little joke.
Petg as gasoline, alcohol, acetone, paint thinner, turpentine safe.
I subscribed because you include the cad files. Please do more videos about functional prints! I was chatting with Bard (now Gemini) about using Styrofoam pellets for cookie insulation, and it informed me there are some infill patterns with higher insulation R-value than my other insulation ideass.
Instead of hammering the bit holders into the handles, use your vise to squeeze into the handles. It will prevent impact cracks.
I don't care about the rest of the video (I mean I do, but…) the first 30 seconds just got me to like and Subscribe… THAT's how you intro a video on 3d printing, THANK YOU!
PETG is safe to use with petrol, it's completely resistant to it.
Metric IS standard in most of the world, except 3 weird countries: Myanmar, Liberia and one more, I forgot it's name…
1500 subs?!?
Your videos are way too high of a quality to deserve that little subscribers!
Keep up the good work. You got this!
Ooooh didn't even think of doing wire management
Nylon is resistant to gasoline. PLA is too.
ty for uploading, any help is appreciated, i found your video on colour change, you mentioned it would be in description but I didn’t see it, just thought you should know.
Thanks Asa (my son’s middle name)(told you that before😅). 👍🏽👊🏽💪🏽
I promised a funnel to the mechanic… you just reminded me that I need to print it!
