Default 3D printing

Hello,

I see that there are so many awesome accessories available to download on sites like thingiverse. My question is, where is the best place to print these files if you don’t own a 3D printer?

Shapeways.com seems to be the go to 3d printer service.

Or, find someone that has one and is willing to print up your needs for a fair price.

I just got my 3D Printer yesterday. Still going through the motions, but I plan on offering this option to folks once I have a better grasp of it.

Already thinking of buying a 2nd one.

Jawstec is a nice alternative to shapeways and much less expensive. I had a bumper printed by them and it came out great.

Check locally. Some libraries have them, and you may find a local DIY location.

Didn't think about a Local Library having a 3D Printer but yes, it is something some may have.

Surely someone around most cities are available to do Prints, but it may take a bit of searching.
