My favourite thing about owning a 3D printer is the very specific tools which I would never pay for. Take a guess what this is for: It is a key for popping out portafilters from the group head on my espresso machine Oridinarily I can do this with a teaspoon. The only problem is later I use that teaspoon for stirring my coffee, and then need to get a new one. In addition the curve isn't quite right for getting it out in one motion. This little ABS key is the perfect size for popping out the filters in a single motion, and lives next to the machine. Very silly tool that no one would ever pay for, but makes the job just 5% easier every time. (Excuse the print quality. Contrary to popular opinion you CAN print ABS on an A1, but it is annoying. This spool hadn't been dried either which made things even worse.)
