A lot of interesting products gain popularity in the Shapeways marketplace. Stress-busting Fidget Toys<\/a> have been having a major moment since October (I wonder why?), while tech accessories<\/a> like this GoPro Hero helmet mount<\/a>\u00a0or the Levitating Google Home Wall Mount<\/a>\u00a0usually hang out\u00a0near the\u00a0top of the best-seller list.<\/p>\n

Top-selling products are not always the most beautiful or impressive-looking designs on Shapeways. A\u00a0product that\u00a0sees\u00a0consistently strong\u00a0sales usually solves a problem that you, or more often, the manufacturer of your favorite thing, didn’t plan for. Whether\u00a0it’s a holder for a fan<\/a> to cool a high-performance motherboard (designed\u00a0by ASUS<\/a> and compatible with its parts), or a part that\u00a0fastens your Moverio BT-300 controller<\/a> into a DJI drone\u00a0mount, clever mods tend to stick in the top\u00a010.<\/p>\n

But, what’s the most popular product of them all?<\/p>\n

Not so fast \u2014 first, let’s look at the runners-up, each of which represent handy hacks to products our community already loves:<\/p>\n

Runners-Up:<\/h3>\n

This Helmet NVG Mount for GoPro HEROs 2\/3\/4 slays on Shapeways \u2014 yet another clever mod.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, the one juggernaut that has\u00a0consistently beat them all, despite tough competition from the runners-up:<\/p>\n

#1<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

The Best-Seller<\/p><\/div>\n

The Sony Smartwatch 3 Adaptor<\/a> by HL<\/h3>\n

Why do people love this adaptor, designed to be compatible with the Sony Smartwatch 3<\/a>, so much? Because it delivers something that almost everyone who comes to Shapeways is looking for: self-expression. A simple snap-on cover that re-skins the face of the watch in the color of your choice (while allowing you to attach any strap you’d like), the adaptor is a clever hack\u00a0that takes a mass-produced product and makes it endlessly customizable. We think it sums up the ingenuity \u2014 and creative drive \u2014 of our community perfectly, despite its unassuming appearance.<\/p>\n

Do\u00a0you have an idea for improving a product you love? Why not make it real? Let us know in the comments what you’d tweak on your favorite toys and gadgets.<\/p>\n
