I need to print a discontinued part for my car, I have an .stl file for the part, I just don't have a 3D printer. It's a speaker mount.

What online print service have you used that you can recommend? Thank you!

Edit: located in the US.

You can maybe post something on local marketplaces. Something like Kleinanzeigen (Germany), Facebook Marketplace (US I think) or something similar. Or local groups.

There are a lot of hobbyists who have a printer that stands still for 99% of the time, who can print it for cheap.

Or, as someone else already has suggested, your local library.

I checked the library today, no such service unfortunately. However, I could get my husband to go on Facebook and post something there. Thank you!
