1. Cable Management Clips

Problem Solved: Tired of that messy tangle of charging cables behind your TV or on your desk? These little clips keep your wires neat, organized, and out of sight.

Problem Solved: Cutlery, tools, stationery – drawers can quickly become chaotic pits. Custom-sized organizers ensure everything has its place, making finding what you need a breeze.

Material Choice: PLA. For drawer inserts, PLA is more than sufficient. It’s rigid enough to hold items, easy to clean, and you can print large pieces without breaking the bank.

3. Wall-Mounted Phone Holder

Problem Solved: Need a safe spot for your phone while it charges in the kitchen, or a hands-free viewing solution in the bathroom? A wall-mounted holder is the answer.

Material Choice: PLA or PETG. PLA works well for general use. However, if your holder will be in a humid environment like a bathroom, or exposed to direct sunlight, PETG offers better heat and moisture resistance, ensuring it won’t warp over time.

Problem Solved: Cans rolling around in the fridge, taking up valuable shelf space? A simple gravity-fed dispenser keeps them neatly stacked and accessible.

5. Door Stop

Problem Solved: Doors constantly slamming shut or swinging too wide? A well-placed door stop can prevent damage to walls and keep your doors exactly where you want them.

Material Choice: TPU. A flexible doorstop needs to bend, absorb impact, and grip the floor without scratching it, making TPU the ideal material. Its rubber-like properties are perfect for this application.

6. Showerhead Holder/Repair Bracket

Problem Solved: Is your showerhead constantly slipping, or has the original holder broken? Print a custom bracket to restore functionality and save on replacement costs.
