5 times 3D printing saved me from buying something stupidly expensive

If you own anything with specialized parts or complex appliances, you know that frustrating feeling when a small piece breaks and the manufacturer wants a fortune for a replacement. This doesn’t feel very fair, and there are plenty of other expensive buys that feel inflated. However, the solution to your problem can be as simple as making your own replacement. A 3D printer is a great way to save money, but your first prints should be items to save you money.
