I'm starting to see a trend here. And it gives me good vibes.

Actually made something useful with my 3D printer.

Finally printed something useful.
Bought TPU filament that can be used with AMS. It is really more of soft plastic than what one would expect of rubber. Made a toe protector for the shifter. Lets see how it holds up.
I've used this stuff a LOT. I've had extremely good success with it. Not sure if it will fit in your printer though.
Still searching for the "best" phone holder. 
Make the hands grab the phone...
Tried hand at nuts a bolts. 1/4-20
I need some terminal blocks for VanGo. bought these from Amazon for 6 bucks. Might work great for you young'uns.... for 71 yr old eyes and hands... not so much.
Found these on Creality's website. Cost is about a buck 25 each. Need to buy the bolts, washers and nuts, but that'll be another buck 25 per unit from Bolt Depot. Happy dance.

FIL had a broken latch on his screen door so I made him a new one. About 2 hours total reverse engineering/design and printing.
Edit:
Installed and reported to be working perfectly.

Nice!
Zooooooomieeeeeeees.
This thread says "useful" 3D printed things, but this will serve no purpose other than for laughs when the project is done. Although it is a nice exercise in printing a seemingly tricky item.
Another 8-ish hours to go. Will be done by the time I get up in the morning.
I still have to remove the supports and raft, that will have to wait till after work.
Zooooomieeeeeees
Finished removing the supports and sanding. Now just to make another one for the opposite side and install them.
Zoomie number 2. Changed the rotation of it so the flange face is parallel to the build plate, and tried a new (to me) support style I never used before. Triangles at 5% density.
Building a track car and printed out a switch panel. Really love the A1
Have a guess?
