I remember some years ago 3D Hubs allowed one to select people around you with a 3D printer and ask them to print what you wished.

It appears that’s not available anymore on that website. Is there anything similar?

    More and more libraries have 3d printers. If yours doesn’t I’m sure a librarian could connect you with one that does

      I’m assuming US? That’s a pretty cool way to do it. Where I’m from there’s a few private shops that will print on demand and have it delivered. Unsure of the prices though

    There’s printathing which is more commercial and automated, and also r/3dprintmything where you can ask for quotes. You could probably ask in most 3d printing groups and find someone willing to print.

    Yes it seemed like a cool idea, I remembered it from a few years ago and went to try order something only to find it shut down too :(
