Yeah I'm a fan of the functional prints as well.  That way when you tell people you spend North of $500 on this machine they don't say "that's an expensive cookie cutter"

Check out the video below, lots of 3d printed parts I want to reverse engineer just for fun.   Especially at the 1:30 mark.

I'm always a fan of Gears for showing off the functional aspect.

My bed does need to be leveled which became apparent when I attempted a much larger print, I am working on that now using Ian's Dial gauge mount.

This was my first print, the companion cube.

This is my first functional print, a replacement water cooler lever, very happy with the results.
I found a full assembly on GrabCAD and was able to remove the parts I didn't need in Solid Works and print this.
