Hey all, I have an item I would like 3D printed, and I really don’t want to buy a 3D printer (and fall down the rabbit hole of printing everything or never touching it again). Are there any places that I can send some sort of 3D drawing to, have them clean it up and print it and then ship it to me? Curious what’s out there, what I should look for, or what I should trust.

There are quite a few in the US. Two off the top of my head are Slant3d and PCBWay. With all of them though, you may have to do some final post processing depending on what you are printing. 3d printing services just print the item, they don't do much beyond that.
