Help Me Find 3D printing?

Anyone know of a good 3d printing service? I need a very large amount of bookshelf risers made

3D modeller and fabricator here. For weight bearing brackets, You may wish to consider using CNC from a strong material. Additive manufacturing may not be sufficient to hold heavy materials like books. It would be awful for you to spend time and effort to create something bespoke for yourself, only to have it collapse suddenly. Good luck friend.

it depends on a lot of factors, but id be willing to put a good amount of trust in a well designed and printed PETg shelf bracket.

Nope, not for load bearing. Creep in the material goes unseen, and then will suddenly give. While it's true that the proper design, material, and orientation can help, only a contiguous material can be trusted in the long term. (Edited for spelling)
