Print successful 159 different models and 5,734 hours
One of my favorite puzzles, color stacking! Simple print that fit together well with no finish work required, just some glue to hold the top on. I used Bambu PLA and the multi-color model. I made three so far, one for each grandchild.

Printed two plates of 15 each red and yellow clips. Seem to work well, we'll see how long they last. Our family loses these nearly as fast as I can print them. Design seems solid, good grip.

I like this filament respooler for two major reasons. 1) It takes up way less space on my desktop, 2) The filament winder mechanism that adjusts the filament position laterally is more robust and more accurate than others I have seen and printed.
On the downside, the piece that moves from side to side is actually two separate objects and I could not it to print correctly in PETG. So I imported it into Tinkercad and cut it in half. This generated 4 pieces I printed separately. You glue two half's together, insert in the one of the two remaining pieces, then glue that together. It gives you the complete piece that functions correctly.

Great wrapper for gift cards. The add/change text feature was simple to use. It's just a simple text field you click on and change in the slicer. Printed perfectly and was easy to fold. Easily fits a gift card and the whole assembly fits nicely into a birthday card. Makes you gift appear special.

This is just what I was looking for, but didn't know existed. I used gradient filament for the bowl itself. All fits together nicely, although the lid could use some sort of handle to help remove it. Nice graphics on the lid.

Just what I needed to measure odd angles on my car dashboard. I'm creating an insert to divide up space there and this adjustable protractor let me easily measure angles in tight spaces. All it needs is a single M4 nut and bolt. The two color printing worked perfectly.

Really loud whistle that's easy to print. I can print 40 on my X1C at a time. Takes about 10 hours to print that many. Easily holds a keyring. Great ICE warning whistle give away.

I bought the cut strips on Amazon, 4 for $10. Each has an adhesive backing. They fit fine into the slot available, although the slot could be a little longer on the side you insert the roll into. This works great as a holder for the heavy Cosco plastic wrap. The cardboard container and cutter for the Costco stuff always break.

Fun project that was easy to assemble, ESCEPT the handle needed a fair amount of filing to fit into the candy dispenser wheel. Also had to file the piece that seals the base. Standard narrow mouth mason jars fit perfectly.

Going to Italy with my bike group, this is the perfect keychain for the trip. I printed 2 sizes, original and 65%. TI like the way the color goes through the keychain.

Finally, a Nespressor pod holder that doesn't take up counter space. I printed two of these, then cut the original to a smaller size to fill out my drawer. Printed two of those and just glued them to the end of the original.

Nice rotating holder for Nespresso pods, but they fall out very easily. Lacks an easy way to center the top handle to the top plate.

Fun earrings for kids and adults! Slow to print, 6 copies took 13 hours on an X1C. The Top-Z spacing between the supports and model needs to be increased to make them easier to remove.

Fun animals for my granddaughters birthday party gift bags. The kids loved the multicolor prints. It's fairly fast to print a number of them at once. Used PLA and the standard settings.

Exactly what I was looking for. An easy way to add storage for my sunglasses in my car. I used PETG and it printed easily. I did adjust the top-z distance on the tree supports to ensure the supports came off easily. I usually use 1.8 times the layer height for the top-z distance. Did have to print and use the bigger clip in my Subaru Crosstrek.
