I am thinking about buying a 3d printer but I have no idea what I would do with it. I did some blender training and made a donut but it did not really inspire me.

I browsed thingverse and some other sharing sites. Nothing really caught my eye.

I think something that would are mechanical kits for making gears or small machines etc. Printing a mechanically true LS1 V8 for example kind of interests me.

Any thoughts to share?

    I use my printer as part of larger projects. Furniture gets new legs. Kitchen gets new spice rack. Appliances get small repairs or mods. TV gets soundbar attached. Desk gets hook for headphones. That kind of stuff. It’s all one-of-a-kind and of no use to anybody else, but extremely satisfying to model, print, and use.
