Useful: How many things can clone themselves? 3D printers have the ability to recreate their own parts to repair damaged elements or develop brand new printers, which I consider to be its most useful adaptation. While you could download a complete part set for the Mendel90 [1], individual printer parts can be extracted from Thingiverse as well, such as boltable PLA bushings [2].

Artistic/Beautiful: I love Legend of Zelda games. If I owned a 3D printer, I would make this Crest of Hyrule mantlepiece [3], or perhaps two, because it's awesome...and artistic/beautiful.

Pointless/Useless: This art sculpture [4] may look nice if it were crafted by an artist, but not with RepRap printing. A 3D printed version would probably require more support material than there is plastic in the actual sculpture, and the end result probably won't be very presentable.

Funny: "Its difficult to perambulate in a haughty manner when you have eight appendages..." [5].

Weird: I'm not sure if this is a model for a box of fries or a batch of machined rods [6]. Either way, I find it weird that anyone would think it necessary to print this.
