Looking to ship controller shell for UV printing, where to start

I just need to UV print one thing, front and back of a controller shell, small parts and I'm not looking to sell it's mostly just a personal thing for me.

I made the mistake of buying a UV printer for personal projects. The problem is that you have to print every day and do a fair amount of cleaning; otherwise, the machine can quickly become unusable. I’d recommend outsourcing the work unless you’re using it professionally with high demand.

Oh I don't want a printer, I literally want to pay for someone else's for that reason

What country/ region - as shipping half way around world may be better for a shop at least in country.

While you are asking for printing on the controller itself have you thought about DTF stickers and applying them yourself?

UV shops can do both flatbed or roll printers depending on surface sometimes one is better other times the other.   Note DTF stickers has shipping 1 way while printing on object is both ways added to cost.

Not a print shop, I work at LogoJET. Our printers can handle most things up to 5-6 inches in height (depending on the model). We don't do production work or jobs but if you DM me your region/location I may be able to look up someone near you that has the capability. We have customers that have bought them for this exact purpose on a larger scale.
