3D printed ideas

So I am just now getting into 3D printing. What have you made for our Super duties on your 3D printer?

Haven't made it yet, but thingiverse has a fuel cap holder. Haven't seen much else of use yet.

A rain awning to put over the tailgate backup camera. It's useless when wet, and if it's raining, well, that's when you need all the visibility you can get!

I'd probably print a housing for my iDash. Maybe with a base to snugly fit the center dash tray in front of the speaker.

Some guy on Facebook is printing a tool to turn the hubs with so the metro-‘men’ don’t break a nail using their fingers.

Mine came with one from the factory. Yours didn't?

Just the little lanyard thing, which one day will betray me and cap will swing against truck.
Something like this is what I am referring to.

I bought some turtle wax ceremic hybird stuff tol give a try. I applied it on my hood, front fenders, half my tailgate, and the tailgate camera. After 3 coats i cant say it does much for the paint, but my camera has been stayed significantly more visible in the rain.

I just bought a locking diesel cap for my truck - no lanyard included. This looks like a good next step.

With my older trucks, I always sat the gas cap on the bed rail. Quick, easy, and free.
With my new trucks, I use the lanyard.

The issue I see with those holders, is that one bump with the pump nozzle, handle, or the wide rubber guard on them...and now you are chasing the cap around on the ground. And we all know it will roll right under the center of the truck...
My Mazda has a little cap holder in the door from the factory (along with a lanyard). A gust of wind will knock the cap off the door, so I'm not too trusting of them with my experiences.
