Guessing that the savings on that alone paid for the printer?

Awesome! Yes it's really addicting (and useful) to make things like that! This is really the niche where 3d printing shines. And you've learned how to use Fusion 360 to design the thing. 3D cad is also quite addictive and very accessible now. Even lowly FreeCAD, which I use, is very powerful and capable, if a but clunky and has a steep learning curve.

I recently picked up a new to me variety of filament. It is tpu, but is probably the stiffest tpu filament on the market. It is the armadillo lineup made by ninjatek. It is almost as stiff as pla, but way tougher. I was looking for a simpler to print alternative to nylon, and it appears like I have found it. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a tough filament that isn't so picky about print enclosures, etc.
