I made sure I printed off a Hellboy bust as one of the very first items and that gave her something to boast about at work, next on the list is a rocket and a robot and she'll be a happy geek girl.

Love being able to just repair things on the fly with no lag time... small enough piece that it only took me 20 minutes to model, print and repair.

I look for things of my wife's that i can fix with the printer.  that way she's not so mad at me for buying it.. lol  i printed out a barbie doll table from thingverse for her friend at work and now she's a lot less mad... since she has something she can show of.. lol

It's stuff like this that really helps me justify having a 3D printer.
