If you’ve ever dipped a toe into 3D printing, you know the possibilities are endless. But once the novelty of printing miniature dragons and fidget toys wears off (don’t worry, we still love those too), you might be wondering: What can I actually make that’s useful?
Great news—there’s a whole world of practical, everyday items just waiting to be printed. Whether you’re looking to get organized, save money, or just add a touch of custom flair to your space, here are 10 super useful things you can 3D print at home.
1. Cable Organizers
Tired of your charger turning into a spaghetti monster? Print clips, wraps, or even wall-mounted organizers to keep your cables neat and tidy. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
2. Bag Clips
Snack lovers rejoice! These sturdy clips are a quick and easy print—and way better than wrestling with a half-torn chip bag.
3. Drawer Dividers
Print custom-sized dividers to finally tame that junk drawer. Organize utensils, tools, craft supplies… the possibilities are endless.
4. Tool Holders
From drill bit racks to wrench organizers, you can print exactly what you need to make your garage or workspace feel like a pro shop.
5. Phone & Tablet Stands
Let’s be honest—we all prop our phones up somehow. A 3D printed stand looks better, works better, and (bonus!) can be customized to match your space. *Shameless plug: Check out our Mobius Dual-Angle Stand!*
6. Fridge Magnets With Purpose
Not just decoration—print magnets that hold pens, grocery lists, chip clips, or even a bottle opener.
7. Soap Dishes & Bathroom Helpers
Print a soap dish that drains properly (no more mushy bars!), toothbrush holders, or a little shelf for your razor. Super handy, and you get to pick the style.
8. Sink Strainers
Yes, really. Keep food scraps out of the drain and save your pipes from disaster. Plus, you can make them way cuter than store-bought versions.
9. Key Holders & Entryway Hooks
Say goodbye to the “where are my keys?!” panic. Print a key rack or multi-use hook to keep your entryway organized—and stylish.
10. Wall-Mounted Everything
Hooks, shelves, cable routes, headphone holders… wall-mounted prints are perfect for small spaces or renters who want to get organized without drilling holes. Final Thoughts The beauty of 3D printing is that you don’t just have to settle for “good enough.” You can tweak designs to fit your space, your needs, and your style. Whether you’re printing for fun, for function, or a little of both—there’s always something new to create.
