Ready for more awesome 3D prints? After the positive response to our first gadgets roundup, we've curated Part Two! Dive in for another dose of cool and practical 3D printed gadgets.
3D Printed Egg Holder
The 3D printed egg holder is our first recommendation in part two! It has a space-saving, zero-waste design. Comprising a base unit and a stackable upgrade module (totaling 300x216x74mm), it securely holds 12-22 large eggs without glue or supports, thanks to robust snap-fit clips enabling easy disassembly for cleaning. Optimized for efficiency, both parts print in under 5 hours using ~180g of standard PLA, with accessible settings suitable for most printers. Its wide base ensures stability, textured surfaces improve grip, and vertical stacking doubles capacity without increasing counter footprint.

Bottle Drying Rack
The bottle drying rack solves countertop clutter with its space-efficient, stackable design. It is engineered to speed up the air‑drying of drinkware by channeling airflow through its hollow base, so bottles and mugs dry faster without needing a separate drying mat. Compatibility spans glass wine glasses, coffee mugs, travel cups, large water bottles, stainless‑steel tumblers and even silicone or plastic food bags, making it a true all‑in‑one drying solution.

Compact Case
The compact multi-use case delivers a slim, modular storage solution in two footprint options—small and medium—each tailored for swatch organization or general-purpose use. The Small variant holds up to 40 filament swatches; the Medium accommodates 80, thanks to dedicated “swatch” inserts, while matching blank inserts turn either size into an everyday carry case for electronics, craft bits or personal items. Its clean lines, minimal post‑processing and versatile inserts make the compact case an elegant gadget for keeping any small items organized and protected.

Toilet Paper Hanger
This charming gadget features a cartoon‑style chick seated atop an egg‑shaped body that “rides” along the paper roll as it’s used, sliding down naturally as the roll’s radius decreases to keep the roll’s end within easy reach. Engineered as a multi‑part assembly, the model includes an alignment block, egg body, pair of half‑wheels, hanger arm, two pedals and a stick. This is an Easter-themed gadget that combines seasonal decor with practical functionality that you won’t want to miss!

Slap Close Connector
It is a compact, support‑free snap closure device ideal for organizing keys, holding small items, or serving as a fidget toy. Designed to print in roughly two hours on standard FDM machines, it requires no specialized supports or hardware beyond common fasteners and a paper clip for the spring. The assembly comprises four 3D printed components—two hinge halves, a snap latch, and a jig tool for forming a torsion spring from a bent paper clip. The jig ensures the spring’s dimensions are precise, providing smooth operation and reliable retention when the latch engages.

Beach Towel Clip
The beach towel clip is a slim, support‑free clamp engineered to anchor your towel (or lightweight blanket) securely in sandy, windy environments. Its curved, toothed interior bites into the sand, while side grooves increase surface area to prevent slippage—no additional stakes or adhesives required. Designed for quick one‑piece printing, the clip needs zero supports, so you’ll spend less time post‑processing and more time enjoying the shore.

3D Mini Saw
3D Mini Saw is a fully 3D‑printed, battery‑powered micro saw engineered for light hobby and workshop tasks. Comprising over 20 individual STL files—including mounts for ball bearings, a TPU‑flexible foot, heat‑insulation parts for the blade area, and an XT60 battery‑connector holder—the design delivers a compact cutting tool that slots together without a metal housing. Safety features such as a blade‑stopper insert and belt‑cover guard are printed as part of the assembly, while a dedicated handle and on/off holder provide ergonomic control.

Filament Clip
The filament clip is a no‑frills, 3D printable clamp that snaps onto any standard 1.75 mm filament spool to lock the loose filament end in place and prevent unwinding between prints. Offered in both single‑clip and twin‑clip configurations, each piece prints support‑free in under 11 minutes at a 0.16 mm layer height, letting you batch‑produce dozens on a single build plate in virtually no time. Compact and minimalist, it adds almost zero bulk to your spool yet provides a quick, reusable solution to filament tangles and print failures caused by unwound spools.

Xbox One Controller Holder
This Xbox One controller holder is a single‑piece, support‑free stand that transforms your controller into a striking display piece. Thanks to its support‑free geometry and modest infill settings, the holder requires minimal post‑processing while delivering a sturdy base that keeps your controller accessible yet off your desk surface.

Book Page Holder
It is a minimalist, dual‑sided clip that slips into any open book to hold pages apart for true hands‑free reading. Its symmetric design adapts to varying book thicknesses—simply slide one side behind the left page and the other in front of the right—and it grips firmly without creasing or damaging paper.
