I've been working on a development board for a while now. To finalize the product, some people recommend printing a case (I don't have a 3D printer). Do you have any other suggestions (the most fun ones are also welcome), or should I invest in this type of machine?

Please give me as many practical ideas as possible, I'll make my selection later.

Before you invest in a 3d printer, check your local public libraries! A lottttt of them have 3d printers these days

    Local libraries can sometimes have 3D printers.

    You can order 3D prints online, check a local supplier for less environmental impact.

    Or you can buy a Bambu Labs A1 mini, cheapest and easiest printer IMO.
