Does anyone know of a place in the Springfield area that does 3D printing?

My brother in Nixa has an older boat that has a plastic dash insert that holds the gauges. It has gotten brittle over time and broken so he needs a new one. Boat company doesn’t have any and said the place that made them went out of business years ago.
He has the insert taken out and taped together. He is hoping someplace can 3D print a new one but is not having any luck finding a place.

I've never done business with him, but my boss knows him.  I do know he's gun friendly and has made several furniture type items for AR's.  So, worth a try.

Make sure it's printed in PETG or ABS. Both have fair to good UV resistance and impact strength. PLA (the most common filament) won't hold up long.

So do you have the 3d model of the dash, or are you needing one made?  Do you have a budget?  Do you have a photo?

He doesn't have anything but the dash itself. With that said he has found a guy to help him with it.
