Macintosh SE or SE/30 Fan Bracket

[reallyrandy]

I know this is an old thread but for those of you who are sans 3D printer, where do you get your 3D prints made? I tried PCBway for the fan bracket on Post#1 of this thread but the shipping is stupid expensive for an $8 part to New Jersey. there's no chance I'm clicking the "Place Order" button on that!

Hey @alxlab! Any new tweaks to your fan bracket design for the SE and SE/30?

No new tweaks to the design since the last 3D model was released.

You could try JLCPCB and see what they're charging.

Alternatively I could make one for you out of black PETG for $8 USD. I'd have to calculate the shipping though from Montreal to your address. PM me if your interested.

Check with your local library, a lot of them have 3D printers now and the librarians can help you use it!

I keep seeing this on the Internet, which magical places have 3D printers in their libraries?

One of the major county library systems in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul) offers it: https://www.rclreads.org/3d-printing
As does the St. Paul Public Library system: https://sppl.org/innovation-lab-equipment
Along with another Twin Cities county library system: https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/libraries/Using/iLab

That's just near me.

Chicago: https://www.chipublib.org/maker-lab
Los Angeles: https://www.lapl.org/labs/octavia-lab/3d-printing
Denver: https://www.denverlibrary.org/idealab3D
Washington, D.C.: https://www.dclibrary.org/using-the-library/maker-space-and-machinery-fabrication-lab
Boston: https://guides.bpl.org/c.php?g=1308326&p=9632039
Atlanta: https://www.cobbcounty.org/library/services/3d-printing

The list goes on.
