What can be done with a DIY 3D Printer?

This post contains photos and brief descriptions of the things that I made with my DIY 3D printers (see below photo for reference). More will be added as I make more stuff with them.

DIY 30cm x 30cm x 30cm Prusa i3 3D Printer

The cap of blender cover

The 2 latches of the cap of my blander cover were broken, so I drew a new one and printed it out using a white flexible filament. It's a perfect match and my wife is happy.. :-)

Spheres for parachute

I saw an interesting video on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdF1lcoNt1Y) that teaches the making of throw-able parachute. As I don't have access to the ball used in the video, I drew 2 types of spheres (smaller one with holes, bigger one without hole) and use used plastic bag (left), and PVC cloth (right) to make the parachute.

The gears and wheels of DIY camera trolley

I use flexible filament for the wheel and PETG for the gears of the camera trolley that I built. This trolley is capable moving back and forth and rotating the camera at the same time or separately. The trolley is controller by Arduino plus my custom-made motor driver board..

Docking station enclosure

This is an enclosure that I made for a friend to fit different connectors. Because the size of this enclosure cannot fit into the printing envelop of my DIY 20cm x 20cm x 20cm printer, I built a 30cm x 30cm x 30cm Prusa i3 style printer to print it.
