    Absolutely. At my library they charge per gram of printed result, and small trinkets cost me like $2. This is probably $20 for me? It’ll be in several pieces I’m sure, and you can request one after another so you don’t take up their entire month’s queue.

      Oh awesome! God I need to go to my library more (I’m sure I’ll be taking my daughter there more before long)

      Another question, I see a couple colors going on here, including on what appears to be the same piece. Is this from different color filaments (I barely know that word 😁 ) or did they paint something and I didn’t notice? Should I plan on providing the filament or would they actually have that beugecolor?

        the separate colors appear to be different parts so yea would just have to have them printed them in that color but I’m gonna guess you may have to supply your own if you want special colors but who knows till you ask

          Ahhh, you’re right. I didn’t realize the front panel has two different layers to it, and what I thought was the back side was actually the back layer of the front. I’ll have to stop by in the next day or two!

        At my library they gave a cabinet of different colors. If you want a color they don’t have they may make you pay to order it, at which point maybe you should see if you can buy the finished thing on Etsy since a roll of filament is $20-40 I think.

          If you want a cookie they don’t have they may make you pay to order it

          They’ve got a little cafe there too, I’m sure I can make do with whatever cookies they have 😋

      Just thought to follow up. Turns out Micro Center has a coupon for a $100 Ender 3 v2 for new customers (or old customers whose friend let them use her phone number 😜 ). So anyway I have a new hobby now and even the wife is intrigued

          It is! So many of these projects have grand plans and… Lackluster results. But this has gone so well! Definitely some trial and error and frustrations with some brittle subpar filament I got on Amazon… But Inland seems to work well! Even my wife (who enjoys crafting but isn’t really nerdy) is intrigued by this. I’ve already made her a couple boxes to store tea bag packets and may have to try that octopus… They actually had a really big one at Micro Center next to the printers as well so I can imagine it!
