Never printed a toy on mine. I use it for making custom parts for my bike, things around the house, and to replace intentionally weak plastic parts that break due to planned obsolescence.

Hmmm...this is helpful. Assuming you use some kind of CAD program? What would you recommend? (I use Linux exclusively)

I started with TinkerCAD, which is free, simple, and web based. Then, I moved to Rhino3D for some custom-computed surfaces. Finally, I moved to Autodesk fusion for some complex multiparty assemblies. The important thing is to get started and learn the principles of what you can do and what you can't. Have fun!

I should add that a digital caliper is super helpful for taking measurements of existing parts. I use that thing A LOT!
