I need to print a discontinued part for my car, I have an .stl file for the part, I just don’t have a 3D printer. It’s a speaker mount.

What online print service have you used that you can recommend? Thank you!

Edit: located in the US.

    Unfortunately a 3D printer is not in my budget. I could afford one, but it would come at the expense of some upcoming costs I have to account for. Maybe in the future when I have a better living situation it would happen! I have always wanted one. It would be fun to mess around with.

      Don’t buy anything you can’t afford. Sounds like you already got that part right. :)

      If so good 3D-printer are lower cost than ever. Sure you could pick up an used Ender 3 and the like for $50 and put in the elbow grease to learn like it was done in the old days. Alternative is spending $200 on an BambuLab A1 and skip most of the learning curve.

      If you can handle frustration than a cheapo used printer could be a good option. Please ask before purchasing as not every $50 printer is a good deal/option and as a newbie you can’t distinguish the good from the bad.
