Anyone into 3D Printing? I have made a few things and have mostly used it to print a few Dungeons and Dragons minis.
Anyone have a recommendation on must print items?
I have an Ender-3 and some filaments that need to be melted.

Today I tried out using tree supports in Cura. This can be a game changer for the items I have looked about but worried about how much plastic and time the supports would add.

Want to talk more D&D or other TTRPGs?

Stainless steel washers are a cheap way to preserve your bitcoin seed words - but they can be notoriously difficult to do it without looking half-baked.
I've heard that printing a plastic jig to hold them and to guide the stamp whilst creating the words is a good idea.

Yes, I have heard about that. That does need to be added to my must do. Never go wrong with backing up information.

I don't have a 3D printer but a friend made key holders, toy gliders, cup holders, phone cases, action figures and so on...
He doesn't know about 3D modeling, so he asked me to make a branded pen holder for his boss as a present idea for their Christmas party to give to each coworker.

That’s an interesting mix, might need to search those items to see if there is anything I want/need.
What CAD software do you design with?
I started with TinkerCAD, started to research others but then life happens. But digital design is another major part of the space.

I used Blender, it's not CAD but it works well.
The my friend's printer software supported OBJ and DAE that Blender can export directly.
If you're still learning and you don't mind non-CAD softwares I recommend to go for Blender, if you want something simpler there's Wings 3D.
If you need or want a CAD tool, a simpler software you can look at is SketchUp, it's simple and fast to use, it should be similar to TinkerCAD but I never used it so I can't compare it.
3D modelling sure is fascinating, hope to see some pics of your work when you're done!
