Hm, most of the local 3d printing shops make it a big deal to print out this single tiny clip.

They either want me to wait a whole week to get it, or they want me to pay a minimum of about 80 dollars for a single clip, or they want me to make a bulk order.

I've never 3d printed. Is it really that big of a deal to print a tiny clip that we require this much time, money, and ceremony?

@JordiGH Should be straight forward... I can give it a go when I get home and see if there's anything weird about it, but it looks fine.

@grimmy Wait, you're actually going to print it?

For your own amusement?

@JordiGH sure why not? I can send it to you if you like? It looks like $0.10 USD in plastic maybe, and my printers are currently idle so 🤷

@grimmy But I think it would be like 15 USD to ship it to me by USPS. :-/

@JordiGH probably like $4, but i can check that later too, if it's less than an ounce, which it most likely will be i can just use a forever stamp and a normal envelope.

I've sent 3d printed stuff via a normal envelope before, even with magnets attached, and they've gotten there fine. Can't say the same thing about the envelope, but maybe wrapping it in a sheet of paper will help? Whatever, should be fine ;)

@grimmy@mastodon.social avatar

@JordiGH I can do orange, but it's not quick zapper orange 😄

I have all of the colors that bambu lab's offers for basic pla, and then a few colors for their other pla materials. https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/pla-basic-filament

@grimmy Hehe, the colour doesn't matter too much.

@JordiGH eh whatever, make pla sparkle gold then (it actually looks pretty good believe it or not 🤣 )

@grimmy I'm not about to be a beggar carrying a big stick, like we say in the old country.

@JordiGH well i did offer you a color choice, i just have to throw the right spool in and select it in the slicer, so it's no big deal to me :)
