    Online 3d printing?

    Hi all,
    Would anyone know of anywhere that does 3d printing for a sensible price?
    I’m looking to get a couple of things done, I have the file and it’s a simple build but the only local place wanted £25 and I’m thinking that’s overpriced, but may be wrong?
    File below for reference in case anyone knows about this sort of thing.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    There’s a number of people who provide printing services on Etsy. I imagine they will be able to handle small projects.

    If there's a Hackspace local to you, they will almost certainly have suitable printing facilities and would probably be very happy to assist you in this endeavour. Assuming you live in Wells as per your profile, then Bristol would appear to be the closest. Perhaps worth dropping them an email?

    I'll have a go at that Rob. No charge. If it works, pop a few quid in Eddie's fundraiser instead.

    My most recent print was a tad more complex than what you're needing... so I'll be fine to do it!

    Thanks for the replies and ideas chaps, much appreciated.
    I’d never heard of Hackspace before!

    Yes indeed..... one hell of a print job!

    And Rob, your print job is started. Just 1h30m and 9g of filament per piece. Won't take long.

    All done Rob. A pair in each colour as requested.
