That's why I love getting stuff from Shapeways. Someone else worries about the tricky and difficult stuff like that.
Lol I'd forgotten about that service. So thanks for the reminder! It's still not out of the question if I have something that I want done really well and is outside my very limited capabilities/knowledge.
I completely understand the desire to do it yourself though. The idea of getting something made in a matter of hours rather than weeks is very tempting.
It is pretty rad. I printed a couple versions of one item with different print settings to see how much I could tweak it to improve print speed without losing too much quality, and suddenly I realized that for the first time in my life I was prototyping something. That was pretty cool. Of course, it wasn't my design, but there's a few things I'm thinking of creating from scratch.
