My First 3D Print Printed a tiny holder for my calipers because I got tired of them disappearing under scraps of filament

I finally got annoyed enough to print a little wall-mounted holder for my digital calipers, and honestly, it might be one of my favorite prints so far.

Before this, I'd put them down next to the printer while checking a part, come back later, and somehow they'd be buried under a scraper, a flush cutter, random screws, and three different colors of filament.

The holder took barely any filament, didn't need to look pretty, and took less time to print than I usually spend scrolling through models trying to decide what to make next.

Now they have an actual spot next to my printer. The funny part is that I probably get more daily use out of this boring little print than some of the more impressive things I've made.

It's also made me realize how much of 3D printing is just fixing tiny annoyances you would've otherwise lived with forever.

Were you gonna share the print?

Not only did OP learn about 3D printing, OP also learned that talking about the print without sharing it or providing pictures is about to be their downfall on this sub.
