Looking good.

I’m still using the originals and still getting perfect results

These waffles will be easier to print for sure

I don't know anything about 3D printing, but do appreciate the creativity, skill and time that must be invested in developing these designs. I also admire the generosity when sharing the design files. I can see the collaboration and sharing across the members here who have printers. Would it be unethical or inappropriate, for someone who doesn't have access to a printer, to reach out to a local printing service about to get a couple printed for personal use. If it's okay to do this, is there a way to make a monetary contribution to the owner of the files when you download them or any way to protect against a printing service offering your design as a their product available to purchase for printing?

Asking because I don't know the answers. It won't hurt my feelings to be told, "Don't do that, dumbass!" I'd actually be glad I asked, if that's the case.

It really depends on which file site you download from as to what price if any there is to pay for a file.
Most of it is open source and 3D printer people just love sharing stuff.
The website Cults is pay to play and most files range from maybe 50 cents to $5 depending on what it is but that's just for things I've searched out.
Another website, Thingiverse, is free but you can tip the designer which I've done a couple times.

The only thing that really gets under my skin is Temu. Temu is a Chinese company who makes pure junk and are notorious for hijacking free 3D printer files, making the product, and charging for it.
Like Temu would be the scumbag who hijacks the VG file, makes 1000 of them, renames it, and tries to sell it for $20 when you can print it for free or for nothing more than a few cents of filament.
Another one was I made a war chain last year with the #5 on it and wore it to the NASCAR race. Nobody had anything like it and I got compliments and people asking where to get one. Fast forward this year, that war chain is being mass produced and sold for $65. Cost me less than $5 to make mine and IDK if it's coincidence or not but funny how that was the only driver war chain around and it looked exactly like the one I had made on a 3D printer a year earlier

This is the kind of thing I don't want to enable. I'm asking if there is an ethical and responsible way to approach sourcing a shop to print from a file shared by you or someone else on Bud Builders. I've poked around looking at printers, but that's not in my immediate future. It's cool as sh_t of you guys to share your work. I'd like to have a shop print a VG or two for personal use, but don't want to do anything to mess things up.

If someone can make it easy on me to do that part, I'll print them for free.

You guys are great. I'm really not making a pitch to find someone on here to print it. I know how valuable time is (that value is constantly increasing). Just wondering if there's a way for me to use a third party printer that respects and protects the creator's efforts.

Well the creator is bandit. He has shared freely for personal or bb gift use.

Cool for you to ask.
