Here are five 3D prints that genuinely made my life easier. Whether you're just starting out with your first printer or you're deep in the world of slicer settings and filament types. Sometimes, the simplest print ends up being the most used. So if you're looking for project ideas that are both fun and genuinely useful, this list might just spark your next print.

Planetary Gear Filament Guide

1. Planetary Gear Filament Guide (Ender 3)

This little add-on has helped guide the filament into my Ender 3 at a better angle, reducing tension and the chances of filament snapping during long prints. It’s especially handy for Ender 3 users.

Greek Pillar Pen Holder

2. Greek Pillar Pen Holder

If you love Greek architecture, this one’s a must-have. This pen holder adds a classical vibe to your desk and helps keep all your stationery in one place. I printed it using white marble PLA, which makes it look like a mini statue.

Melted Phone Stand

3. Melted Phone Stand

This stand holds your phone at the perfect viewing angle while looking like it’s melting on your table — kind of like plastic or wax. It’s minimal, elegant, and always gets people asking about it. The print only takes about 1.5 hours on my Ender 3.

Pinky Saver

4. Pinky Saver

You know that weird dent your pinky finger gets when holding your phone for too long? I definitely did — so I designed the Pinky Saver. It’s a small ergonomic grip that lets your hand rest in its natural 45° position while holding your phone. It instantly relieved the pressure on my finger. Only downside — it’s for right-handed use only (for now).

3D Printed Poker Chips

5. Poker Chips

Poker chips can be pricey, but these 3D printed ones are super cost-effective. I used black PLA for the base and color-coded them with 3D pen filament. They feel solid, look clean, and you can add your own custom stickers on top. Perfect for a home game night.
