One such 'stuff' is we have begun making sheetmetal dies for small runs of sheetmetal repairs on vehicles we are restoring. What a game changer!! For example, we are working on a 1929 Coupe (45A) that we need to make some replacement sheetmetal pieces for the ¼-window area that is rusted away. We just drew it up in SolidWorks and just printed out dies that we can use either in an arbor press, or in a Pullmax to make the correctly shaped replacement pieces. Sorry to hi-jack your thread talking about nonsense, but I definitely find a printer is a great way to prototype for things like your signal switch.

Perhaps a separate thread for uses of 3d printing? I use Fusion 360 for modeling and simple Anycubic 3D for printing - will print up to 10” cubic area. So far I’ve used it for three things for the A: the ‘Yoke’ piece in the vacuum wiper, bumper holder for LED signal lights (the ones sold by venders are WAY over priced!), and now this project.
