Thanks, it’s less about one case, more that, if I see something interesting and printable, is there a service where I can order it, or places to go to print it?
@foofiepie@wjrii Shapeways was my go-to for awhile, and they have an amazing variety of materials they can do. But for your basic PLA/PETG pieces, it doesn’t take very many orders to make buying your own printer cost-effective.

That’s what I saw years ago when I looked for US options. So instead, I just have two very cheap printers. My hobbies don’t make any money whether I’m efficient or not, so I’m more willing to trade time for cash investment.

Ahh, gotcha. I will not opine further then. :-)
Yes. There are several I’ve seen advertised but I’ve never used. Pcbway, despite the name, has 3d printing services. I have no experience with them.
