• replacement parts for appliances (dishwasher wheels, feet, brackets...)
• upgrades for your 3d printer (a camera holder is a classic)
• if you are a thinkerer (I'm assuming you are) custom boxes for small projects (electronics and so on)

I replaced the hinge on our freezer door with about half an hour of design time and a tiny amount of filament. Previously the fix required replacing the whole freezer door. That fix alone paid for the printer. Now I'm putting orthopedic insoles. It's been a lot more effort since it required learning how to use TPU, but now I can just size the shoe and send the file.
