👉 👉 👉 So you've got a 3D printer, and the first thing you ask yourself is: What should I print now?

For sure, you'll go through your printer upgrades phase, printing out at least a kilo of tchotchkes and trinkets that may or may not actually improve your 3D printer or your 3D printing workflow.
But, then what? Well, then you'll probably go through your trendy 3d prints phase where you'll print the same silly stuff we've all printed before. Articulated octopuses, fidget toys, benchies, and on and on. But eventually one of two things will happen. Either you'll get sick of printing stuff that doesn't actually have a purpose, or your wife or significant other will get sick of a bunch of useless plastic crap kicking around your house.

What to do? Well, fortunately in this video I'm going to share with you some of my absolute favorite, most useful 3D prints. Yes. Actual functional, useful 3D prints that solve real problems for you and your family. So practical, even your wife or significant other will have to agree that buying another printer is a good idea after all.

Stick around to the end because I think you'll be very surprised at some of the things that you can actually print.
