And your point #4 is in-correct. It is NOT an open forum. It is a forum owned and operated by a person who has a store front attached to it.
It is -not- for talking about products in other places.
It is -not- for talking about other vendors. (especially those in direct conflict with the site/store)
I read your initial post as something like:
"Sorry I cant afford to buy stuff at TCSS, ... but still help me spend my time/money elsewhere."
If you have all the skill noted above, modeling, CNC..etc.. I dont quite understand why you would even go the 3D printing route.. unless it was for a internal chassis or something? I dont think you'll get any sort of decent quality for an outside/hilt piece that is done at a library type 3D printer... (but thats just my opinion.. you have the skills/experience)... quality on those type of printers would take many, many hours IMHO.. your best bet would be to get it done by a company like shapeways..etc (but thats expensive too)
if you can model it.. than your local makerspace probably has CNS lathe/mills too..
maybe that is a better [place for you to see help/advice?
Even therpf.com is better.. and more of the forum you are looking for. (open for said tech questions)
but hey, I'm not a moderator, and your post is still up/here.. you've been giving advice on where else to look.
good luck.
