Getting something 3D printed, whether it’s for a DIY project or you’re replacing a broken part, is easy. You have tons of places you can send photos or plans off to and have your item made. This week we want to know which ones you think are the best.
Some of those companies let you email them plans or schematics, and they’ll print them for you and mail them back to you. Others are stores and other makerspaces (including some major shipping companies!) that let you bring in your item or schematic and they’ll print it right there, on-site. If you’ve had this kind of printing done, we want to know which ones you think work the best!
Let’s hear your vote in the discussions below! To cast your vote, follow these guidelines:
