Spending too much time at home over the past year has made us realise one thing: there’s always something new to improve or repair at home! Home improvement and repair projects have been all the rage since the pandemic. And it’s only natural to improve the place where we spend most of our time. As you know, remodelling and repairs can be expensive, but if you’ve got the necessary DIY skills and a 3D printer, you can save on costs significantly! Here are some 3D printing ideas for home repair projects.

Don’t you hate it when the oven or grill knobs wear out? Ordering parts can take a while. So if you don’t want to wait or buy a new knob, you can create your own. This 3D-printed knob can be used for other things, such as ranges, potentiometers, and any rotary actuator with D shape shafts. 


3. Ethernet | RJ45 clip to secure/repair/fix broken tab by guss67

It’s annoying how easy it is for the clip to be broken off the ethernet cord connector. While you can buy new ones, why would you have to when you can 3D-print your own? It’s also more durable than the store-bought ones, so you won’t have to replace it as much anymore.
