Go to your friendly neighbourhood 3d printer! =) Wouldn't that work?

Interesting! Had no idea 3d printing was that expensive in comparison.

The library's makerspace has several 3D printers. You can schedule a job
and the only cost is for the materials.

Hmm, I don't think there's anything like that in sweden. There was a non profit, who runs the .se domain, and they did have a maker space for a couple of years, but I think they shut it down.

However, that assumes you've installed a program like FreeCAD and figured
out how to use it to generate the stl files and have a good feeling of
what you can and can't do with 3D printing.

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.

Or, if you're me, you shuffle out to the shed and paw through the
materials, adhesives, fasteners, and tools to see what you can whack
together.

This path would work well for a rough proof of concept.
