That's great if you already own your own printer but...
It's like when I bought my first quick change tool post for my lathe which was before I had a milling machine. I had to take the base plate to a local machine shop to have two end cuts done to turn it into a T-nut for the tool post. It took them all of 15 minutes to make the two cuts and I think it cost me something like $80 for the job. Got to pay for those machines and man hours somehow.
