"OK, OK, I'm going as fast as I don't want to go!"
I build plastic car models and use it for custom parts
That's a neat idea, @KeithB .
I don't have one, but like other things where creativity and files are involved, the "open-source" nature among creative minds is bound to lead to innovation and progress.
If I were much less busy, I'd probably have one though. Designing, building - solving problems from overcoming stumbling blocks at inception, all the way to rethinking after actual application have been a driver for me for many years. I think the very theme which brings people to this forum engenders that kind of creativity in problem solving and this would lift some bushels off a lot of interesting lights.

I didn't make it, but I bought a 3-D printed mag loader, made by Tacshots.
.
This Universal Mag loader (large), $8 on fleabay, was suppose to fit the mags for my Ruger American(45acp). When I got it, I found my mags didn't quite fit, but it was real close. After looking at it, I figured if I could modify it without wrecking it, I would be good to go.
.
I wasn't sure if this plastic was a thermo-plastic or more of a epoxy type of plastic. It wouldn't work for me as is, so I got the torch out, and heated the short side and forced the mag inside and let it cool. Works great, it's a snug fit, but that almost makes it easier to use.
