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!

Doesn't look too tough. I'm quite certain I could print that out of ABS for you. Any color you want as long as it's black (which is all I have in stock right now).

Re: the dimensions. .STL files inherently have their dimensions baked in, as drafted by the designer. If you print it straight up without modification it will come out at the dimensions at which it was designed.

Ah I didn't know that about the file! That's good to know, I just remember seeing files before that said something about metric vs imperial, but maybe I am mixing up something else.

Would it be alright if I message you about the part? I really appreciate the offer.
