• What was the MOST USEFUL thing you have printed in you 3D printer?

I'm considering buying my first 3D printer and I would like a use case other than printing toys (not that they are not useful).

What was the most useful object you have printed in your 3D printer and why? If you can give detail about the size, material and amount of material used it would be great.

Thank you!

I am using clear PMMA filament for a live subway map as optical fiber and although it works great I cannot bend the fibers enough to shut the shadowbox frame it's in. I know heating the filament likely the best way to go about it but is there a safe way to ensure I don't ruin what I've done?

  • r/3Dprinting - This is the shadow box I bought to encase the map. The fibers light up stations where there are trains
  • r/3Dprinting - This is the back, lots and lots of filament...iirc over 300ft worth for all 400+ stations
  • r/3Dprinting - The shadowbox cover is flimsy cardboard and the tension of the filament will not give no matter what. I have read that heating it is a good bet but am nervous about melting it
