Collecting the right items to organize your home in an ideal way is never an easy task, whether due to the things that you need not coming into mind right away, or due to the items that you’ve thought of not being available for purchase anywhere you look.
To help you keep things nice and tidy without going through the hassle of obtaining the items, we have compiled a list of 10 3D printable items that will help you organize your home in ways that you’ve never thought about before, which you can produce in the comfort of your own home.

Modular Drawer Organizer
We can all relate to how quickly drawers can get messy, partly due to having way too many things to store and never having enough space and partly due to laziness and not getting around to organizing the drawers routinely to keep things tidy, which usually leads all the way to the point where it’s impossible to find anything in the drawers at all.
Fortunately, if you’ve been searching for an easy way to restore order to your drawers, you’re in luck, as your 3D printer is perfectly capable of helping you to get rid of this mess once and for all!
This 3D-printable modular drawer organizer system, which consists of pieces that make it possible to divide your drawer into multiple compartments in the exact layout you want, is the perfect tool to keep your drawers completely organized at all times, allowing you to categorize your items and preventing them from being scattered around every time you open or close the drawer.

Self-Watering Planter

Foldable Wall Hook
Every now and then, there are moments when we think to ourselves that having a hook or two on the wall would be pretty handy for storing things, whether it’s to hang a coat or backpack quickly when necessary or to make extra space in the kitchen for all sorts of accessories ranging from pans and pots to cleaning brushes.
Now, with this wall hook that you can produce in the comfort of your own home with your 3D printer, you’ll be able to the create storage spaces you have been thinking about all this time but never got around to purchasing the hooks for, on any wall in your home and as many you like.
Additionally, thanks to their convenient design, you can fold the hooks in when you aren’t hanging anything on them, making them look much more decorative.
When printing these wall hooks, one critical thing to pay attention to is to refrain from using PLA filament and go for something more robust such as PETG or ABS, especially if you plan on hanging heavy objects on the hooks, as PLA may not be strong enough to handle the load.

Bag Clip
We can all relate to having some unsealed bags of food in our kitchen that slowly spoil due to the oxygen coming in, whether it’s a half-eaten bag of chips or a bag that contains spices or herbs for cooking, as there are never enough containers to keep everything nice and sealed.

Door Stop
It’s never a pleasant scenario when you open some windows to let some fresh air into your home for a relaxing effect, only to be startled by the deafening bang your door produces as it slams shut with the wind coming in.
Luckily, you can 3D print your way out of this annoyance as well, as this handy 3D-printable door stop, which consists of two different pieces that stick to the wall and the door to create a mechanism that can hold the door open whenever necessary, will make sure that the wind can’t slam your doors anymore.
For best results, we recommend printing this door stop with either PETG or ABS, as the piece that attaches to the wall side can eventually bend and break when printed with PLA.
