So far I fixed that pepper mill. Fixed a broken part of my wife's car that held the controls for her drivers side seat that probably would have cost as much as the printer since it is a Mercedes. I printed a small fold-able stand for my Mac Book Pro that allows me to place a fan behind it and blow air over and under it to keep it cool while closed. My next project is designing and printing a new tone armrest for my old Pioneer turntable.

What about joining a local hackerspace, if that's an option? You can get access to much better machines than you would buy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace
