Thanks Curt, I had wondered about THS indeed.  Was not sure if people
occasionally drop buy to get things printed.

Cafes?  Interesting, need to look that up.  In contrast to printing
i.e. pictures, 3D printing still needs much more tuning of the model
and background knowledge, I think.  So rather not for people just 
handing over a file to the machine and getting the perfect print out.
