Ideas for a Smarter Home with 3D Printing: Technology, Storage, and Decoration
Technology & Automation
🔹 Mounts and holders for smart devices (cameras, sensors, hubs)
Create mounts that attach to walls or furniture, so your devices have the right height and angle. For example, a special mount for an IP camera or a Zigbee hub to hide cables and improve efficiency.
🔹 Outlet or switch covers for aesthetic integration
Print covers that match your wall color or feature a modern design to hide old outlets or plastic boxes—ideal for renovations or achieving a “smart home look.”
🔹 Protective cases for IoT sensors and smart doorbells
These cases protect against dust, moisture, and wear. Perfect for sensors placed outdoors or in high-traffic areas (e.g., kitchen, kids’ room).
Organization & Storage
🔹 Phone and tablet stands for counters or desks
Create holders for hands-free viewing of recipes, movies, or video calls without dirtying your devices.
🔹 Custom-sized shelves for bathroom or kitchen
Use 3D printing to maximize small corners: narrow spice racks, shelves above the washer for shampoo, or holders in unique sizes not found in stores.
🔹 Divided boxes for jewelry, tools, or small items
Organize screws, nails, jewelry, or other small items in boxes perfectly sized for your needs.
Decoration & Ergonomics
🔹 Wall clocks in custom designs
Create a clock in your personal style—minimal, industrial, or vintage. Install the mechanism and enjoy a functional decorative piece.
🔹 Decorative pots and planters
Make unique plant containers for shelves, desks, or balconies. Customize color, size, and pattern.
🔹 Original photo frames
Give your favorite artwork or photos a special presentation with frames in custom sizes or shapes.
