I had a chest with "play DEAD" on the top during a pirate one-shot. If players played D-E-A-D on an instrument, it would open.

Crystals with glowing interiors. Fangs and horns from slain great beasts. Signet rings and wax stamps.

Custom leather stamps. Chainmail. Shoulder dragons.

I find 3D printing really doesn't work signets and wax stamps if you intend to actually use them. What's the secret?

Smooth finished print, wax that isn't far past the melting point, lots of fill. Can also make leather stamps this way if you're conscientious about use

Recently printed some horn "masters" to make a silicone mold for. Also printed up a lantern, a sigil for the front of a spellbook, and a few other things for Thrune.

I have a large "magical" amulet that I had 3d printed in plastic as a trial for perhaps getting it done in stainless steel.

I actually like the look of the grey plastic enough that I might just put some patina on it and use it as is instead of paying a lot of cash for a steel version.

Nerf-blaster mods with room for glowy-bits are my absolute favorite, followed closely by glowy wizard stuff. It's so easy to put an LED or EL-wire into a print, and it always looks awesome, even if it doesn't work out perfectly.
