3D printed a 50mm to 60mm Fan Adapter. Not the first print, but only because the first time the filament broke. PLA was too dry. This is in PETG on a glass bed, no adhesive. 2mm layer height :) Gonna have to expand the 50mm fan mounting point cutouts and adjust the final height.
Glad it turned out as well as it did, it's actually fairly heavy.

Just out of curiosity, i see alot of people having 3d printers. Is it worth it to actually get one not for business? But just have some fun with it.

In my opinion? Definitely :) something entry-level won't set you back much, but of course if you start to like it you'll eventually want something even better. It's like building a computer

Best to do some looking into it :) everything from build volume to construction quality, if it has a heated bed, if it self levels, if it accepts or requires modification after purchase... For around $200 you can get a Monoprice Select Mini. It has a small build area and requires manual leveling, but would probably be just fine for small things. Also comes pretty much ready to go, no assembly needed.

Got myself a new radiator in, but still waiting to order other parts to finish up my loop. Going for 12mm OD glass tubing but I'm having second thoughts.
