Best 3D Printed "Stuff" you've tried

I'm late to the party on this, but finally getting into 3D printing.

What 3D printed hacks, parts or accessories have you tried that you like? Looking for ideas for comp shooting (f class and PRS), reloading, gun room organization and storage, etc..

Thanks
 
I sat and toyed with loading blocks until I had everything down to a slip fit.

If you intend to sell products, please don’t print everything out of the cheapest material possible at the highest speed…. Or at least give people the option for the higher quality prints.

I printed everything I could ever want, from magazine kits to funnels and loading blocks, labels, whatever…. But, for the general public, lots of the products available are of poor quality or done in a hurry to minimize run time. Offer something better, in my opinion.

Exactly! Applies to everything, and unfortunately the accountants lead the race to cheapest/lowest quality.
 
The most used things I've printed are mag/chamber flags, they worked great, but too bad they can't be used in PRS anymore.

The other thing that I've gotten good use out of are ammo boxes
 
Beware of loading blocks that are too closely fitted to cases. A friend gave me a couple he made from hardwood that were that way. I jostled a block full of .222 cases that were pretty full of ball powder, causing some of it to fall into the block holes around cases. With the taper of the cases they wedged tight as I tried to remove them. I had a heck of a time getting them out. With looser fit I have never had that problem.
