Not so. There's no exception for personal use, in the US anyway.

Doing some reading, the enforcement mechanism still won't work if
there are no damages.

Anyway, if you made a copy of a patented item they may be able to keep
you from using it, issue an injunction to keep you from making more,
but no enforcement mechanism exists to make you destroy it or not
display it.
