3D printing is very popular right now. And for good reason. However, it often masks the fact that there are many ways to manufacture most products, and often, 3D printing is the most expensive one.

Meaning that instead of thinking "how do I 3D print this?" you should be thinking "how do I manufacture this?"

Something as simple as making a drawing, specifying the material and quantity needed and then going on reddit/r/manufacturing and asking "how would I build 50 of these" can provide very useful answers, even if you have to do a bit of research later to understand what you've been told.
