I am going to plug my own project that I will complete in another revision when I can unpack my 3D printer when our 1st floor is completed in the renovation 😅

Other peoples’ that I like!
A VESA to microscope adapter for mounting a lighter microscope (I use a digital one) to a monitor arm to save space compared to the normal boom: https://www.printables.com/model/803413-amscope-eakins-microscope-vesamonitor-mount
A shaker siphon to empty standing water: https://www.printables.com/model/833171-shaker-siphon-for-garden-hose
All of Chris Borge’s stuff where he 3d prints useful simple machining tools and reinforces them with concrete (only a few on printables): https://www.printables.com/model/1237272-rock-solid-milling-machine-v09
The steam controller bumper repair. The brittle ABS they used broke 3 times for me (2 I sent back to steam and got a replacement), and I printed this in PETG and got my bumper back since the SC got discontinued and it has held up because petg is much lore flexible: https://www.printables.com/model/133723-steam-controller-bumper-repair
Bottle dryer. Use 3x daily for my stuff. https://www.printables.com/model/314913-bottle-dryer-system
Mario pipe pen cup. Stealth nerditry. https://www.printables.com/model/307980-mario-pipe-pen-holder
Grandma’s double sided filament clip. I’ve tested many clips. This fits my needs best. https://www.printables.com/model/581033-grandmas-double-sided-filament-clip
Thwack. Yes, it’s kind of a meme but for gentle taps it’s perfect. https://www.printables.com/model/46099-thwack
Dog poop bag holder. Works as described. My kids lose or break them far too often. Solution, print another. https://www.printables.com/model/167626-customizable-dog-poop-bag-holder
I’ll post some of mine to start. My favorites are mostly fun/decorative.
Fun
I’m a sucker for anything dinosaur. The original Flexi Rex was one of my first prints! I absolutely adore the art style of AndreasJoskaSutanto’s flexi dinos. My favorite is the Flexi Raptor
Most of the models are for paid members
Notable mention to this (free!) Flexi Dimetrodon by DirkvK that’s excellent too!
Decorative
I’ve been trying to fill the empty spaces on my walls. I printed a bunch of butterflies and bent the wings using a candle. I love how they’ve turned out! I’ll link to some of the ones I’ve found, in no specific order.
I’ve also been working on a bouquet of flowers, I’ll see if I can take a picture of it later to post.
