    3D print parts

    Considering getting a 3D printer for household stuff but considered a little side business. Trying to think of random, stupid, little things that we don't want to pay dumb prices for. Surely I can design and print things that could make life easier on the boat or on the bank. Any thoughts?

    It would be cheaper to buy parts from someone like me with a printer than from a dealer or website. Discontinued items could also be fabricated with the help of software or a 3D scanner (create and print broken parts, etc). If owners to take on a side business like this, I'd probably need more of an industrial strength style printer. I'll just need to figure out if the time is worth the cost/unit.
