Absolutely valid points. Most of these objects are pre-designed, and available on thingyverse. Minor edits on premade stuff makes for easy custom jobs. My mate has whipped up a bunch of things recently - Dove tail pucks, finder brackets, etc. Next on my list is some clamshells for a newt.
As long as ABS or Nylon is used, rather than PLA, they turn out real good.
