3D prints are great for those one off things. In the past I’ve printed replacement parts for a swimming pool, a g-clamp I needed for a one off task, I’ve fixed a rotary clothes line…
My most recent print was an AirTag holder for my wallet. Aviator who make the wallet wanted €35 for their one. Mine cost me probably 5p in plastic 😂
3D printers are also great if you only have space for one machine.
They give you the highest versatility for the lowest footprint.
Yea, the versatility of 3D printing is a perk. You don't need to buy a mold just download/create what you need and viola a few hours later its there.
