Who uses their printers for manufacturing
I wondered how many of you guys actually use your printer for manufacturing and if you are, what products do you make and from what material.
I would like to make useable parts that can deal with knocks, bangs, pulling and twisting but I am not sure just how strong the parts will be.
Could you folks show some examples of working pieces so I can try to judge the capabilities of what you make.
My thanks.

I would recommend any 3D object sites like thingiverse or myminifactory. You will find there a lot of different examples.
For your project you can always rely on plastic/material sheets in the first place. If you found suitable material, you can design your part and analyze the stress orientation/spots. Based on that you can make some slicing decisions and modify the part if needed. After that, print, try and repeat. The regular manufacturing process ....
