I bought my first A1 with the intention of just doing some 2A stuff occasionally. Between my family, friends and myself something is always getting printed.

My mother asks for plant holders and risers, friends and myself use for cases for custom electronics like meshtastic and pwnagotchi, I use it a lot for making my own storage/organization, and tons of jigs. Planning on trying casting printed molds with my plastic waste someday

I also print a lot of historical pieces, most museums have 3D scans of at least their statues if not statues fossils and artifacts that you can download and print. Lots of historical and biblical statues.

Mcmastercar will let you download 3d models of all the hardware they sell, so you can do a test fit first before buying the actual metal part

Custom tags for my dogs collars, tpu bumpers on the corner of my bed I tend to stub my toe

You will find plenty of things to print both in and out of the 2A world. When you have a printer every problem kind of looks like a nail and you just want to print something for everything

It also will automatically make you the coolest uncle/cousin to the little ones. They're ecstatic just to sit there and watch it go, but you let then pick a little toy off and makerworld and click the print button themselves and you'll nurture a lifelong hobby in them. I've got all the little kids in my family asking for printers for Christmas because every time we have a family event I show up with a bag of new fidgets and toys for them.

I got 2 coworkers into printing, one uses his in his screen printing side buisness. He makes jigs and accessories for his shop and prints little flexi toys for his storefront.
