What service would you recommend? I’m only familiar with xometry and pcbway from their ads, so there are probably better services out there.
Comment on 3D printer for someone who rarely prints

The printer require a lot of maintenance.
IMO you should just use an online 3D printing service.

You could try to find some local dude that got into 3d printing and made it a business.

Yeah, I have a friend who got a used print farm, but I’m looking for large sla printing.

Well that’s definitely a different usecase

I don’t recommend any, I never used those, I’m fine with tinkering with my printer for hours in the other hand.

When I checked online printing services the last time, they were really expensive. For my very first project (4 custom card organizers) it would have cost me more than a hundred bucks. My printer + the initial accessoires were around than 200 bucks and I’ve printed so many functional parts since then that it easily amortized itself within the first year.

Usually if you just look for individuals who offer 3D printing, it is much cheaper. Definitely way below 100 bucks for card organizers.
