A 3D printer can change the way you design, create, and engineer specific products. If you own this type of printer, try printing one of these six items to upgrade your home.

Bottle opener: Most 3D bottle openers are durable enough to pop open any type of bottle, so print up a couple to keep around the house.

Doorstops: These handy items are perfect for keeping spring-loaded doors from slamming shut as well as propping open doors when you're bringing in items from your car.

Earbud holder: Have you ever found yourself looking all over for your earbuds? Print an earbud holder to keep them organized.

Flowerpot: After you purchase one of those plants for your home office, simply print a 3D flowerpot so you can display your new piece of greenery.

Key holder: Print and mount a key holder near the main exit of the house. That way you can put your keys here whenever you enter and won't waste time trying to find where you left them.

USB cable organizer: Odds are, you have USB cables all over the place, especially on your desk. Print an organizer to keep the cables and their devices neatly presented.

3D printers can use a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal, and wood, to create objects of various sizes. Use these six home-related items as inspiration, and get printing.
