This site has all kinds of general hardware in all kinds of formats including STL. Remember those cabinet handles that you saw for $8 a piece and you said "I could print that".

I use http://www.bostongear.com a lot, as well as http://www.carrlane.com.

I'd like to make a case someday with a tight fitting hole for a mini-usb connector (on a teensy board), and haven't liked the idea of manually modelling it.
