I got a second-hand 3D printer from a friend today! I’m pretty excited to start making stuff with it. I’m thinking about making some toys for my toddler (are there any good ways to recycle PLA?) as well as useful stuff for around the house. Like I know I need to replace a knob on my camp stove and I already found a model for that. I’m also planning to get some Meshtastic LoRa boards and I’ll probably print a case for those too.

If you have a 3D printer let me know what your favorite prints are!

I made some kids toys, some RPG minis (also tried dice, but those didnʼt come out great), and some gadgets for my home like cable organizer's, towel hooks, a wall mount for a mirror, and the likes.

I know no way to recycle PLA (as in, you canʼt reliably make filament out of the cutoff and failed prints). Some say you can melt it and cast it using silicone moulds, but never tried it myself.
