3D printing services? (lemmy.zip)

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.

There's plenty, where are you located in the world?

    Have you tried to see if there's a local maker space that let's you use their 3d printers?

    I run a small 3D print business that mostly does B2B, but I handle the occasional B2C. I charge $15 + 10¢/min for single color basic filaments (PLA/PETG/ASA) for B2C. I'm in Europe though but it could give you a price range idea.

    A lot of libraries also have maker spaces now as well -though I don’t know if Texas has libraries

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