First thing I ever printed was a spout to replace the elephant trunk on my Rancilio Rocky coffee grinder. It allows me to use the grinder with basically 0 ground retention so it was a huge improvement and allows me to accurately use the grinder for single doses. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:101392

Another thing I made were some spacers to correct alignment on the freezer door of my French door refrigerator. They've been working great for years now and keep the door seal in perfect alignment. I custom made these and they're unlikely to be useful to anyone else.

I also am very fond of some wire organizers I use for managing USB charging cables so they're not a jumbled mess. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5340635
