    I use my printer for making replacement parts for things, and for making simple stuff I need like tools, and also for prototyping.

    An example: I used to have this motorcycle. The mount for the taillight broke. A new one was $100, and it would break again the same way. So I measured the socket in the fender, measured the bolt holes, and designed my own, which worked flawlessly the rest of the time I had the bike.
