Can any one print me a part out? In need a little part printed for my lyman press. Some one has posted the plans online and I saved the site and file. I know nothing about 3d printing so I was hoping some one can help me out. I have cash or ammo or other stuff I can trade for your help. Thanks.

My printer is down - but based on running the figure into the slicer I guess about 40 mins at 50% infill will suck down less than 1 meter of filament.
Max out infill at 100% adds about 7 mins and still less than 1 meter of filament.

I can print it and ship it in a padded envelope if you want

Library districts have started to buy things like 3D printers. That?s another option for people without them.

Pikes peak library district has a campus with all kinds of stuff that can be booked and used. Though it doesn?t help the OP here, it?s an option for others who may need.

FWIW, I checked with my local library a couple of years ago to print a part and they quoted me quite a bit more than just buying it online. Not sure why libraries were always a source of printing things for free... until 3D printers. I can understand wanting to recoup the cost of materials (even though I never heard of a paper or ink charge for printing resumes even when it was more expensive back in the day) as they're higher and the final products could be resold. But making a 3-4x profit kind of makes the Library, which I'm paying taxes for taxes for and never get use of otherwise, a for-profit business.
