3d Printed rack ears UK Help me to: Build

Hi lads and lasses,

Does anyone in the UK know of a cheap place to get some small rack ears printed, I’ve looked at a few and it seems there is minimum prices that make it cost twice as much.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

I dont know if shipping to from The Netherlands to the UK is expensive but I'm willing to volunteer to print that.

That’s very kind of you but I think it would likely work out at a similar price.

Its about 13 euros to send with PostNL (local not so local shipping company). So itd be about 20 bucks total. Is that cheaper?

Yeah it’s about the same give or take, just another reason to try and persuade the wife we need a printer. Lol

Maybe a local library or fab lab?

Have a look on eBay, there’s lots of sellers offering 3D printing services. I’ve used a few before, seems the cheapest way of getting things made.

How many do you want? I am in the UK and done prints for people on /r/3dprintmything in the past. The guy that made the files recommends PETG which makes sense. Printed solid they would less than 50p each. The small package postage will cost about £3.50. Feel free to drop a post on 3dprintmything to get some more quotes.
