hey,

I'm getting a 3D printer soon. Its on it way right now actually. I was wondering if anyone here has a 3D printer projects that are useful for a Homelab. Hard drive caddies are the only thing I can think of, that would be useful in the homelab. Of course I'm going to use it for other non homelab projects. So ideas would be highly appreciated! Thank you!

Rack-mounted beer holder.

Jk. But really, anything which helps organize stuff is a worthwhile job for a 3d printer. Even something to loop fibre optic cables on, so that they don't exceed their maximum bend radii, is useful.

I think you'll also find the 3d printer aids in other endeavors. I've used mine to print replacement car trims, ham radio accessories, a photo film spooler, a bushing to convert vacuum hose diameters, and other odds and ends.
