I found a local guy with a printer, send him STL files, and pay him for the filament. Cheaper than buying and maintaining a printer for really small stuff.

I've paid to have a few things printed for me, it's a cost effective model. I'm pro 3D printers, just have not been able to pull the trigger yet myself. I'm also a habitual hacker and modifier of gear - so I have a million things I would like to 3D print. Step 1 - learn the CAD tools.. any suggestions on the good software to learn? #asknostr #3dprinting

Working on it...

Oh wait, this is TinkerCAD

Tinkercad is easy to learn and free, I find it gets the job done whenever I need a quick shape made.

It’s basic but workable. Will play with it and move up as needed
