I recently got to know that pcbway can estimate the cost and send you plastic and even metal 3dprints.

FAQ

My First 3dPrint

Thanks to https://aetherfpv.com/pages/gravity-drone-stand I got a STL with a fantastic design that brings a dron stand

1. via https://drukex.pl/en/pricing/#wycena-form I got my first quote

cd ./dron-standing
make inspect-print-ready-quote
make inspect-quote-8

The estimated price for FDM 3D printing starts from just PLN 0.9 per gram of the finished print. For larger quantities of identical parts, the cost may drop to approximately PLN 0.7 per gram.

The editable scene and reproducible generator are also included:

• Blender scene (reference/ original_assembly_mechanism_15s.blend)

• Animation script (animate_original_assembly.py)

make animate-original-assembly
make open-original-animation
make animate-original-assembly-detail-180
make open-original-animation-detail-180

2. I also tried https://drukarex.pl/

Materiał PETG, warstwa 0,20 mm, 4 ścianki, wypełnienie 30%

3. Also got to know that there is an agregator https://craftcloud3d.com/ which can also print in metals like aluminum or titanium (they also have cnc machining and molding - crazy that this can be some kind of manufacturing as a service!)
