1 – Flexi Rex

The Flexi Rex is the perfect print – challenging yet easy, fun yet simple, and durable. It takes about two hours to print, and fourteen grams of filament to create. There are multiple ones on multiple sites, but the one true one is called “Flexi Rex With Stronger Links”. On Thingiverse and Printables (ect), it’s no longer updated, so go to the site below.

2 – Flat Pocket Whistle

This cool whistle has three sizes, and all of them are awesome. The sound they make is amazing, and the larger the size, the louder the whistle. These take about 2-5 grams average, and the infill doesn’t really matter. The whistles work perfectly on a keychain.
3 – The Classic Benchy

Ok, I had to include this at some point. The Benchy is a great test print, and a classic. Some people even say you haven’t enjoyed a 3D printer unless you’ve made this. The goal of the Benchy is to make sure your Z-Seam, ect. (more on this) is ok. Try tuning your slicer to get a fast, great-looking Benchy!
4 – Mechanical Counter V3

This one is a fun one. The premise of this model is basically mechanical fun. To be honest, I think it seems more fun to put this together then actually messing with it, but whatever. This is a huge print, and will take about half a 2KG roll of filament. Also, your printer needs to be almost OP and you need to have PETG. But it’s awesome! I never finished because my printer can’t do the tight tolerances, but it was just fun to build a bit. If you think you’re up to the challenge, the links are below as usual.
