LF - 3D Printing Services

[Meelapo]

Hello! Wasn’t sure where to post this but I need to 3D print something. It’s a spacer for my PC case. I don’t think it’s a big job but I’m not sure if there’s a service out there that prints small projects. All I found were companies that printed architectural models. Here’s what I need (in black):

There's a place in Calgary called Fuse33 - it's a makerspace. They have a 3d printer and they have people there who are using it for their business. I would contact them and see if they can connect you with someone to do this for you or if you can use the 3d printer yourself.

Do you know if it has to be Petg (I didn't watch video?) I have some black PLA + which seems to work better for me I can probably get this done for you that I was about to return.

Thank you for the offer! I'm not super familiar with the different materials but the Thingverse page specifies PETG. A quick search on the internet indicates that PLA might be good too? The PC case will be sitting on the 3D printed feet and the side glass panel will be sliding into the 3D printed spacer. If the material is strong enough and can handle the internal heat of a PC without deforming then I think it could be okay?

As a side note, a vendor I reached out to said it would take a couple of days and cost $98. I thought it would be a small-ish job but it might be bigger?

You need all 8 parts?
Cura is telling me:

For the 4 "foot" Parts:
20 hours, $10 of materials

For just the 4 parts called "spacer":
22 hours, $12 of materials

I think the "spacer" parts exceed the printable dimensions of my tiny flashforge and my ender 3 is pretty iffy printing things recently...

I'd give your prints a go at 2x material cost if you want... (PLA+ is what I would use, PETG is not friendly and curls a lot for me)

you can catch me at yyclitho@shaw.ca

Thank you. I’ll reach out.
