Curious, if you remember, what was your first print on a 3D printer?  
After the benchys, calibration cubes, and test prints that came with printer’s SD card…  
What was your very first print?

Was it a functional print, or something purely for decoration?

Mine was a phone stand - definitely more of a functional piece - but very useful!

The first print I made on my old Tevo Tarantula was a dual fang cooling duct. Worked out great.

> i really like Ka0sKontrol's design for this fang since it doesn't require removal of the hot end fan and works with the stock x axis bracket. i don't use BLTouch so i took that part off and smoothed the mesh a bit.

Mine after all the calibration stuff was a handle to fit though a hole in plexiglas. I still use it a lot.
