If all else fails and you can wait try pcb way. They print things, might even be able to get it milled from metal if you have the stl.
MEaster@reddit
I've had good experience with JLC3DP too, so they're another option.

Ask on the 3D printing Reddit. There are a few of us on there who do stuff like this for beer tokens. I’ve printed a few things for free for people depending on their need (toys for autistic kids, for example).
Where are you based approximately?

Oh thats a good idea, ill have a look. Not looking for a freebie and more than happy to pay Im in bedfordshire

Happy to help if you haven’t found someone.

Ping me a DM chief, I can help you out. Cost will be minimal if you have the STL already. We’re talking a couple of £ of material at most.
RedAndWrong@reddit
Looks like it barely uses any material. I’d post in the local subreddit first to see if anyone on your road might offer, ask around friends, someone might have one.
Failing that there are professional 3D printers. I use SGD3D. A part like that is probably £3 + £4 postage

Oh wow thats amazing value. It isnt big but i thought a one off would be fairly costly Thanks will try that too.
JasonStonier@reddit
That’s the thing with 3D printing - a one off is the same price per unit as 100. It’s not like injection moulding where you need to recover the cost of the tooling.
RedAndWrong@reddit
Yeah just upload the stl to their website and see what it says
PalaceOfStones@reddit
Your local library might have one, check with them first as you only pay for material costs!

Look on etsy. I had a few pieces custom printed off vendor's on there before i bought my own printer.
mattt5555@reddit (OP)
