Can we discuss printing using services (jlcpcb, pcbway, shapeways etc) here? Materials, limitations, personal experiences etc?

I'm having a strange experience with JLC 3d printing service. 72 hours is looking to be a week tomorrow. Customer support said that they "will try to ship it soon" after I contacted them after the order status hasn't been changing for 2 days

This is so different to their main business, PCB making, which is extremely sharp and smart.

Upd: after contacting them, they shipped the order.

I have decent experience using my own FDM printer and third party services using SLS, I design my own mechanical parts too. I know what you mean and I know joy and frustrations of owning a 3d printer. There's no arguing that quick turnaround helps design process tremendously. It's just currently I have to make do without one.

They (JLC) have requirements well specified and automatic rule checker rejects problematic parts. I had several virtual iterations with it before I got my parts dialed in. They should cause no problems.

As for them restarting failed prints, heh. I really hope not. Large machines tend to be loaded to the brim with multiple jobs combined and they are pretty reliable.
