Problem with doing that is sooner or later you are going to end up with piles of stuff like esp12f's and such. I have more packaging tubes of ATtiny85's than I will ever use.

I printed 2 gears for my 7x12 lathe out of a filament from Igus.

Been in use for over 5 months and from inspection are in good shape. Quieter and unlike the originals durable. One is sacrificial and will shear if the lathe jams. When I jammed it it loaded the motor pretty heavily then let go so it did work. Some replace that gear with a metal one but I wanted the sacrificial feature so I do not blow the motor and speed control.
You need a heated chamber and they recommend heat treating it before use which I did not do since I was not certain it would not change the dimensions.
They have a few other filaments that are also useful. I went to this after multiple attempts to 3d print delrin. Even made a wood bed and finally gave up.
It's not cheap but I still have over 90% on the reel left after printing 3 gears.
