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.

Depending on what it has to be printed out if your local library might be a good choice if they offer the service.

Just be sure they can print in the desired material. A part for a car is going to need to be resistant to heat and potentially UV in ways that the most common material, PLA, is not.

your local library

That's where I did my printing for about a year before I bought my own printer.

They only charged for the gram weight of the filament used.
