You don't say which country or region you are in. That would help if google is down for you.Hey people!
I bought a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 a while back, but never did anything with it.
But today I read something about micropads, cute looking mini-keyboards, and just thought: I wanna make one!
But I have one question:
3D printing: I do not own a 3D printer, but I think there are services out there that can print for you. If you know of any good ones, let me know please!
There are none in my area, but maybe there are some international ones that have a good reputation. I'll keep looking if there are others a little further away from me in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
If this is your first foray into 3D printing then you are in for a world of hurt. If you design your own models and send them for printing then the turnaround time is going to get tedious pretty quickly, especially as you will have to iterate your design several times. If you are sending someone else's design that you downloaded from the web then prepare for disappointment when you find it's not quite what you expected.
You could skip some of the process by ordering a 3D printed part directly from the designer.
What you should do is buy a 3D printer. They're cheap, and all the bad ones have been shaken out of the market. You can learn about 3D design, and get results immediately*. Having the parts in your hand quickly means you can get on with your project faster.
At least, that's my opinion.
* print times vary depending on model
