Hi The gotcha with 3D printing is that it’s not cheap. That plastic whatzit that you buy in the store at 10 for a dollar likely will cost you $10 to print. In addition, the part from the store (done in a proper mold) looks and works a lot better.
That said, it’s *way* cheaper than CNC machining up something like a mount for a display. Just as with CNC, it will take a while ( hours …. days …) to do up each part. That’s not including the time to draft it up and get it debugged, that’s just machine time. It’s a fun hobby, but like timing gear, not as cheap as you think ….
