Be careful what you don't wish for
Pete F would probably find this amusing as he and I used to disagree over some aspects of 3D printing, but work recently took over another company and so gained a 3D filament printer. It's a biggish one (300x250x520mm envelope) and gets hot enough to print nylon. Through some strange twist of fate, I'm the only one in the office with suitable CAD software to drive it.
Trouble is, I can't think of anything to print with it (for home that is).
Today I tried printing something with threads in it to see how it handled it.

It's a lathe tool that I'm thinking of making so I can use 1/4" HSS more easily (the goal is to use the same insert to cut both internal and external threads - should improve fit?). The grub screw holes came out reasonably well although under size. Sometime soon I'm going to make a metal version. I'm currently debating whether to try the nylon version out. It might last for a little bit...
