I lost a lens cap to a pair of binoculars years ago. I gave my son the other one and he printed a replacement one for them.

Hard to find replacement parts are one of the most frequent uses of 3D Printers. I use some extremely intuitive software that allows me to reproduce most small pieces that I or my friends and family need.

There is also some fairly easy to use 3D Scanner Apps for both iPhone and Android that are inexpensive or free that can be very useful for creating objects that can be printed. There are limitations but the improvements in the last few years are amazing.

In 2019 I purchased an “HP Z Camera 3D Scanner on sale for approximately $175 from Amazon but was very disappointed with the output so I sent it back. Now it is possible to get better results from a cell phone app depending on how good the camera in your phone is and what other accessories such that you have available.
