Here are a few of my 3d printed accessories - all in polycarbonate and printed on my home brewed Prusa i3 style printer. 3d modelling is in solid works, and I use both Cura and Slic3r to output the machine codes:
1. This is my overengineered drink caddy. It also includes pockets for sunglasses, two usb thumb drives, and a miscellaneous slot that I use for keys and/or usb cables. The vise grips were for a temporary fit up. I've replaced it with 2x #8 screws/platenuts since this photo was taken.
2. Replacement battery box for my EarthX. On top of the weight savings of dumping my PC680, I realized that the aluminum box that came with my -6 kit weighs a lot too. This one checks in at around 1 pound.
3. Bose headset volume controller cradle. I fastened this to the side of the cockpit. The arm hanging off to the side is just big enough to hang the headset on when I'm getting in and out of the cockpit. I mount it just under the panel elevation so I don't snag it on my leg. I also have one for my Zulu headset. The controller easily comes out for battery changes:
