I did some searching, but the results are varied and unpredictable at the moment.
Can anyone make any suggestions to narrow the field a bit? Or a lot.
The common "wrong" results included 3D printers for sale, engineering or industrial printing (jobs less then 100$ not accepted, specialising in large items).
I'm looking for an Australian based business that specialises in small once-off production jobs that will mail the completed product to an address of my choosing.
Preferably one that specialises in hobbyist or small toy production.
Officeworks also offer their 3D printers, but according to the data gathered from their website, they only have this facility at specific outlets (unfortunately my local Officeworks is not one of them) and they insist you claim the printed product instore personally.
I found a local Hackerspace Group which offers the use of their 3D printers, but their open times (for non-members) is like 7-9pm at night every Thursday.
Membership entails a fee of $25 per year.
Still considering that one, I'm not exactly keen on travelling all the way out there at night (our public transportation closes operations at 6:00pm).
As an aside, the two business I investigated so far seemed to have fairly high prices.
The first wanted 50$ to print this:
The second wanted $25.
I'm uncertain if those prices are appropriate, since this:
cost me $20 for 1.75m.
I think there's a lot more filament in the box then could ever be used in the object printed.......
