  A few things I&apos;ve learned from the comments so far (I&apos;ll update this if anyone points anything else out):<br>1 - Totally put the toothpaste tube squeezer on backwards. Toothpaste should go in the slot from the outside. Still worked great either way haha but just noting that <br>2 - For the towel hanger someone pointed out you have to pull up and to the side at the same time

  the point of that bag clipper is that you have something useful that can be printed with the leftover fillament

  I worked on a university project for my senior year of engineering where we inspected the water and microbial retention of different 3D printed materials (not including resin print methods). Basically looking at if and how liquids and bacteria get trapped in differen plastics used in FDM manufacturing. The findings were that all 3D printed materials were at risk of liquids seeping into small holes in the layer lines and bacteria hiding in-between layer lines which are difficult to properly clean. Granted the experiments were handicapped from poor university support and lazy teammates, but even still I would not recommend putting anything into your mouth that comes into contact with a 3D print

  The hydro bowl (and technically the scrub daddy holder) issue isn’t microplastics, it’s that layer lines trap and keep bacteria for later. It’s the subsequent uses and the inability to sanitize most filaments with high heat or chemicals that makes them not food safe.

  My issue with 3D printing is that people get fixated on 3D printing things that are not needed. A lot of these products can be bought for a similar or cheaper price than it costs to print them (not including the time). The other issue is that people think everything must be 3D printed. Take the chair and phone holder for example. Aluminum tubes can be bought for very cheap, easy to work with, are much stronger, and take WAY less time than waiting an entire day to print. I’ve used wood, glass, and metal with my 3D prints countless of times. You end up with a MUCH better item that may be stronger, cheaper, more visually appealing, and takes less time to create. Once I started thinking in this mindset (what parts MUST be 3D printed and which parts can you substitute with another material), it opened up way more possibilities and my creations improved drastically. Not everything HAS to be in plastic.

  Although… with ONLY 4g of filament, you can print those clips with the left-over filament on the end of your spools. &nbsp;Those spools that don’t have enough filament left to print anything substantial … but you hate to throw it away.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALS5thSkS74&amp;t=406">6:46</a> pulling it down, you lock it. Just pull up + one side

  I am 75 years old. I made a towel holder in wood shop in the seventh grade with some pine and a marble, so not a new concept, but a nice design!

  if the stool had 3 legs it would be more stable on uneven ground and be one less leg to print / carry.
