Just throwing ideas off the wall any suggestions welcome. Thanks Nick
What size object are you looking for? What is your mill capable of? Some things that come to mind are:

Boxes/trays for holding screws/small parts/tools/etc
Fairly simple robot parts(like some sort of mounting bracket)
Enclosure for something electronic
Simple flashlights consisting of an LED, a switch, and button cells. The case is what's designed in Inventor and milled
Maybe even basic tools, like small screwdrivers
