I replaced my 24volt ac wire frame deer motors with dc units, which are way different, so I ended up printing new cases for them too.

Printed off one of these MegaTree strip things, as well as the pusher that Kevr previously shared. It worked great for pushing bullet pixels.

Plus the usual type of brackets for Power Supplies (these are for the HP Server PSU's)

Plus also the pixel controller board brackets and mounts, enclosure vents etc shared on Thingiverse, so probably more hardware related 3D printed items than actual props it seems

Yes it is, I used pliers for the first props but this is soo much easier. I can push a 100 or so pixels in no time and not lose any skin of my poor old hands.
There are several on Thingiverse
I have printed tons of boxes of various sizes to hold buck converters, connectors etc. The one I use the most is a box just a bit bigger than a 6 bar barrier strip. I use it to connect DC wires from a PSU to the props. Velcro it to the back of the prop and I have a water resistant connection. I have also printed a bunch of hangers that drop into the top of a rain gutter and support a 3/4" PVC pipe hanging in front of the gutter. Works great in high winds. Requires no tools to install and makes my hanging props easy to put up / take down. Printed spacers for my tomato cage matrix to hold my WS2812 strips at an even distance (33mm) giving the matrix a more uniform look. 10 strip tree toppers for my mini and mid trees.
