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.

I would try local library first, then your local Discord community, and then maybe Nextdoor.

I know Nextdoor can be a real shitshow of paranoid street watchers and bad political takes. But I have found it very helpful when it comes to stuff like this (and getting recommendations on local services / shops in general). Be sure to say you have the STL and are willing to pay a reasonable amount for help with it.

I don't think there is a local Discord community for my area, but I can search around. I can check out Nextdoor, I forgot about that site! Thank you!
