Hmm, I don't think there's anything like that in sweden. There was a non

Two of the issues that encourage me to vote are mil levies to fund the
library and the Parks&Rec open space projects. The library has become much
more than dusty shelves filled with books. I'm trying to remember the last
physical book I checked out; I get digital content either through Amazon
or the libby app.

Wow, that's nice! For ebooks I go to annas archive zlib or libgen.

I think you can download stl files and then just upload them with some
kind of print software. That's what I would expect at least.

There are a lot of projects that do provide files for the components but
they're not one-offs.

This is the truth! I would expect someone, somewhere to have done 90% of what I want to do. Tweaking the last 10% surely cannot be rocket science.

Most things I do are rough proof of concepts. Putting concepts into
production is usually boring.

I like production! It has always earned me good money! =D
