Hey all, I have an item I would like 3D printed, and I really don’t want to buy a 3D printer (and fall down the rabbit hole of printing everything or never touching it again). Are there any places that I can send some sort of 3D drawing to, have them clean it up and print it and then ship it to me? Curious what’s out there, what I should look for, or what I should trust.

    Luckily I live in an urban, relatively liberal (compared to the rest of the state) area.

      Assuming Austin, I found like 5 with a quick search. Assuming San Antonio, I found 3. Not sure if Houston or DFW are blue.

      There are also services like pcbway or jlccnc that will print your model and ship it to you

      I live in San Antonio. If that or Austin are where you’re from, many libraries around here have 3D printing available. I’d offer to let you use mine, but I also don’t want to invade your privacy online.
