@MLE_online I have found the 16 hours it takes to design, and test print 31 iterations before getting it to fit - two full-time days of work, to utterly not be worth it in any way. My two printers sit in the office gathering dust.
@sboger That's certainly one experience a person might have. On the other hand, it took me maybe 40 minutes to design this part, and it printed in 15 minutes and worked on the first try.

Though milk jugs don't get made in black, this is new to me: "What are all the things we could make with recycled gallon milk jugs? I've seen people cut it into strips and feed it into a 3d printer." https://fediscience.org/@drdrowland/112334650742841313
@MLE_online I’d love to do this. I work in CAD so the modeling part easy - it’s the printer part I would welcome suggestions direction on what to do / site for recommendations. :)
@MLE_online its really the coolest part of knowing how to do stuff in 3D CAD and having that magic machine just produce it nearly perfectly. Those little household thingies are what I find most rewarding.
@timonsku yeah! I used to be pretty intimidated to try and copy more complicated parts in CAD, but then I realized that if someone designed them once, someone (me) can design them again
