Practical 3D printing is something that not might make sense to those who don't own 3D printers. There is a perception that 3D printing is just a novelty and only capable of producing useless items. The reality couldn't be further from the truth.

This is my take on practical 3D prints, organised into categories. With 3D printing I have the ability to improve many facets of my life, because I can make objects that wouldn't be available any other way.

This video hasn't even touched on exciting new development such as printing human organs and metal 3D printing.
