I am going to plug my own project that I will complete in another revision when I can unpack my 3D printer when our 1st floor is completed in the renovation 😅

Other peoples' that I like!

A VESA to microscope adapter for mounting a lighter microscope (I use a digital one) to a monitor arm to save space compared to the normal boom: https://www.printables.com/model/803413-amscope-eakins-microscope-vesamonitor-mount

A shaker siphon to empty standing water: https://www.printables.com/model/833171-shaker-siphon-for-garden-hose

All of Chris Borge's stuff where he 3d prints useful simple machining tools and reinforces them with concrete (only a few on printables): https://www.printables.com/model/1237272-rock-solid-milling-machine-v09

The steam controller bumper repair. The brittle ABS they used broke 3 times for me (2 I sent back to steam and got a replacement), and I printed this in PETG and got my bumper back since the SC got discontinued and it has held up because petg is much lore flexible: https://www.printables.com/model/133723-steam-controller-bumper-repair

The DIY Hotas sounds intriguing, looking forward to seeing it completed!
