Those look super nifty. It makes me wish I had a printer.

Most libraries have a printer you can use.

Thank you for the suggestion. Do you just reserve it for the hours it takes to print? It was my understanding that these take a long time to print.

They take from 5.5 to 11 hours to print (depending on the version you choose). Printed these with 0.2 layer height, 15% Infill and supports while laying on the back.

Depends on the library, but typically it's first come first served. You give them the file and they print it, and you pay for the filament used.
