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

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.

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.
