There are other vendors that may be more affordable than Shapeways and may offer additional options. Check out
Craftcloud by All3DP – Your one-stop 3D printing service partner and
Local 3D Printing Service Near You
| makexyz.com, or
Online 3D Printing Service | FDM, SLA, MJF, SLS & DMLS | 3D Hubs
Looking locally I used to have a link to a site that put creators in touch with local 3dprinter/CNC router makers but I can't seem to find the link. Both the UPS Store (
3D Printing Service Locations | The UPS Store) and Staples (via Sculpteo
Online 3D printing service ) offer 3d printing at limited locations.
Another option would be to laser cut/engrave using a service like
