A gyro fidget spinner: three curved rings interlock around a centre post and whirl as one, so it prints in a single piece with no bearings and no assembly - just flick it and go. The rings are loose in their track out of the printer, which is the part that takes a few tries to get right and the reason this one gets measured before it ships.
A pencil holder wearing a puffer jacket: quilted panels all round, with a zip, a collar and sleeves running up the sides. It holds pens, pencils, markers, brushes or small tools, and it is sturdy enough to be knocked about a desk. About two hours of printing, and the quilted panels take filament colours well - solid winter colours, pastels, or something loud.

A printable reading ruler with an integrated bookmark pointer. The pointer holds your line while you read and marks your place when the book closes - pick the length that suits your book.
Two bands that print as one piece: the finned outer ring's ridge sits in the inner band's groove, so it is locked on but free to spin, with no bearings and nothing to assemble. The groove is a BALL RACE - a circular channel, with the ridge as the same circle held 0.4 mm off it - so the surfaces the two parts face each other across are vertical, which is what lets it print in place and still turn. The ring is 27 mm across and stands 7 mm, and the fins are trapezoids: wide where they join the sleeve, narrow at the tip, so nothing on it is a blade waiting to be knocked. It comes in three sizes, 16.5 mm (US 6), 18.2 mm (US 8) and 19.8 mm (US 10) across the finger hole, all at the same price, and the download is a 3MF with a plate for each, so you can print whichever fits - or all three. Print it with a brim and z-hop switched on: a small ring has a small footprint, and z-hop keeps a moving nozzle clear of what is already printed. The STL on its own is the smallest of the three. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.
A pencil cup wrapped in overlapping scales, so it reads as a little pinecone on the desk while holding a fistful of coloured pencils. 3.3" across and 3.1" tall, printed in one piece. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A guide that keeps a garden hose off the flowers: the hose runs through the roller and the stake holds it where you want it, so dragging it round a corner stops flattening the bed. 4.7" tall, printed as a body and a stake. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A flat page marker with a fox carved in raised relief across its face - it slides over the page and the design reads against the paper. 9.4" long and 2.7 mm thin, printed flat in one piece. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A desk caddy printed in one piece: a raised back that stands a phone at a reading angle, a round well for pens, and a square tray for a watch, keys or a card, with a slot for a charging cable to pass through. It is 7.1" wide by 3.5" deep. Shown as a render, not a photo.
