It's a fairly finicky print. Fine detail and cantilevered thin pins that
need to be straight and reasonably strong.
I printed out one on a FormLabs Form1+. Came out very nicely.
Shapeways does a fine job printing them for about $4,
though.
I don't know that it was much cheaper when I did it - the resin is $125/liter.
The advantage of Shapeways is you can have it made out of something
less brittle than FormLab resin. My part will work, but I wouldn't
want to drop it - the legs would probably shatter.
