Here is a gallery of 3D Printing projects, made using Fusion 360, Tinkercad, Prusaslicer, and printed on a Prusa i3 MK3S printer.
I will post objects that I print, starting with the most recent prints and going back to my first print. The gfiles below were generated on PrusaSlicer and were generated with the intent to be printed on my Prusa i3MK3S with 0.4mm nozzle, I can't guarantee they will work on your printer or with your filament. I use Prusament Filament.

3D printed modern switch plate with old fashioned style switches.
Watering Can: At the time of printing this was the largest object , after assembly, that I had made. It is 40cm long by 25cm tall. I printed it in pieces and glued the pieces together. The handle is solid PETG and the rest is Solid PLA except the main tub which I think is 60% infill. I sprayed all the PLA pieces with 2 coats of clear acrylic automotive laquer prior to assembling the pieces, to water proof them; we will see if that works.
3d Printed Roman Amphora Model and Stand: Drawn on Fusion 360, Prusa Slicer 60% infill. Amphora is Terracotta color Prusament PETG, the stand is PLA painted with hammered metal Rustoleum Spray Paint. To avoid excessive support printing, the stand is printed in pieces and glued together.

3D Printed Music Room Model: We are looking at adding a baby grand piano and are not sure how to arrange the room. I printed up the room, our furniture, and the piano we are looking at. The furniture is all printed separately so it can be rearranged aroudn to see how we want to arrange the furniture in the room. My wife had asked for a sketch, but this is a better way to visualize the space!

3D Printed Big Ghost: My daughter found this ghost on Thingiverse and first printed the little one seen further below. Then we printed this 8" (20cm) tall version. We printed this in PLA at 15% infill at .15quality and it took about 25hrs.
3D Printed Little Ghost: My daughter found this on Thingiverse and wanted it for Halloween. Printed in grey PLA and spray painted white, 2.5" tall.

Clampy McClamperson! 3D Printed C Clamps. PETG 100% infill , .07 ultradetail. After printing the threaded parts, they must be chased with taps and dies. I designed 3 sizes. I designed these clamps be able to be self supporting on all sides (except the side that the threaded rod comes out of). I printed the threaded rods of these clamps horizontally so that the laminations ran the length of the threaded rod. Then I trimmed and chased the interior and exterior threads with taps and dies; cutting oil was needed to avoid snapping the rods during the chasing of the OD threads.
3D Printed C-Clamps
A tap and die for M9x1.25 thread are needed to complete the clamp using the print files below:

3D Printed Oktoberfest Pretzel Pins, for lapels or a hat. These were fun to make. The metal pin and rubber pin-back are from Amazon and I glued them to the pretzel with Devcon Weld-It clear adhesive. I made a little pretzel shaped box for them also, and brought them to an Oktoberfest Party (outside party and because it's 2020 I had the 'ole canister of sanitizer for people to use before grabbing a pin).

3D Printed Play Tea Pot, 8mm long, designed on Fusion 360 by my 12 year old.
Tea Pot, design in Fusion 360, Prusaslicer, Prusament PLA, 50% infill, .07mm detail. My 8 year old arrived at the printer and accelerated the print speed a couple times during printing which changed the look of the print. In these sections she sped it up to as high as 600% print speed, and when I caught this I returned it to 100%. This is a hollow tea pot, with hollow spout, function for play.
The photo is of the parts with no sanding or finishing afgter printing.
Dress Shop, called "Shine" , designed by my 8 year old. The clothes rack rod is metal, I added that to the model after it printed.
Designed on Tinkercad and Fusion360, printed with Prusament PLA, 25% infill.
3D Printed Alphorn Pen with Stand. I built and play an actual alphorn, build log here. And I wanted to design and print one. The real alphorn is 12' 6" long, the pen is 1/14 scale. The pen is printed in 3 pieces: Cap, tip, and body. The tip threads onto the body to hold the ink cartidge (Caran d'Ache Goliath refill). The stand is printed in 1 piece.

3D Printed Bison Cookie Cutter
Bison cookie cutter. Designed on Fusion 360, printed with Prusament PLA filament, 100% infill, .07 detail. We drove to Custer State Park in South Dakota this year and saw huge herds of these majestic animals. This is the first self-designed object I printed and it was a nice simple print to start with.
Prusa name tag , 1st test print after assembling the printer.
This name tag is the first object printed from the PRUSA i3 MK3S that I built from a kit. It worked on the first try. This design came with the printer, I did not design this part.
