3D Printing in the Gun Room

I got talked into buying a 3D printer last week as it will be extremely handy for my other hobby of model railroading. I jumped in with both feet and designed some items for the gun/reloading room as well. First thing was a simple stand for a webcam that I use to view the indicator on my beam scale so I don't have to bend down to look at it level



Next was an insert for the box I keep my head space & bullet comparator bushings in to keep them from rolling around. I didn't get the holes for the bullet comparator bushings perfectly straight, but I'm still learning.



Then I did a box to fit on the back of my press to hold the various doo-dads for it. It is held on by two magnets. I made this one too long though so I shortened it up and the new one is printing right now.



I really like this thing so far and have also found a fair number of prints for both the gun and the train rooms. I'll be designing more of my own as well.

Does anyone else here 3D print? If so show some of the things you've come up with.
Hi. I have a lot of questions for you. What printer did you use? What is this material? And what thickness of filaments did you use?

I am now looking for a 3D printer for myself in order to print different parts for board games and now I'm realized that I can make something for a gun. Give advice, please. By the way, I did not fully understand safety precautions. I read a lot of articles. And in one it says that about some security points, but I do not understand the main thing. I saw in many videos that the 3D printer is right next to the computer, but when printing, the filament melts.
Do I need to do special ventilation in the room where I will put the 3D printer?
