Out-of-Context Printing
by Matthew Mensley Aug 25, 2026
If you're reading this, it's likely you know a 3D print when you see one.

Encountering one doing a real job out in the wild is rare enough that when I do, it stops me in my tracks. Last week it was this, an unassuming, battered-looking mount locking a Nintendo Switch 2 to its display. Spotted as I hastily browsed a duty-free tech store at Manchester Airport, UK.

I can't be the only one who gets a little pang of delight spotting a print when I least expect it, can I?

If you nerd out over out-of-context 3D printing too, snap a picture and send it to editors@all3dp.com with a description. We may feature it in a homepage bulletin just like this one.
