About 50-50 I'd say. I did (custom) cases for electronics, lampshades, replacement parts like keyboard feet and so on...
Here are a few impressions of the more practical things I printed so far:

@fribbledom Continuing questions, because I may just be falling down the rabbit hole of getting a printer. What made you choose the Mega S?
Decent value for money mostly:
It has a rather sturdy "unibody" frame and can be assembled within minutes. Separate stepper motor and endstop for each Z-axis. The ultrabase is awesome to print on, I never had to use glue or tamper with bed adhesion otherwise. Firmware is open-source and can be replaced. Comes with a spool of filament.
The Ender 3 certainly rivals it in value for money, but if you can afford to pay a little extra, the Mega S seems to be the better package.
That said, if you're still holding back because of the initial investment, the Ender 3 is an absolute steal for ~$150 to $170!
@fribbledom Thanks for the info! I'll add it to my list of information...
@fribbledom Nice! Obviously I haven't been paying attention 🙂
