What's the most practical application for 3D printing in your life?

[muckychris]

I used 3D printing purely for manufacturing.
We use 3D printing for shorter run products 100-1000 pieces.

Components specificially difficult and expensive for my DIY Projects !!

I am a teacher and 3d printing has completely changed the level of engagement and inquiry in my classes. My students have stopped saying "I don't know" and started saying "how can I make this happen..." "what could solve this..."

Educating people, but mainly for fun and for my printer itself

[GrantGabrielson]

I mostly print little toys, or custom models for prototypes I make. It is hard to realize the full potential of a 3d printer if you cannot model.

[MK-X]

Prototyping as well as DIY projects which bring down the price overall drastically with 3d printed materials.

Fixing household appliances and plastic parts. Remote backs and little custom parts/pieces. Need your Keurig to be taller because your travel mug is huge? Print a Keurig base to lift it up.

I have no practical application just an extreme curiosity. I can't wait to find a practical app. Thank you for the chance to find a purpose for printing.
