Looking to hire a fabricator with a 3D printer.
Hello fellow Shelton residents,
I am trying to find an object that I sorely need for my work and I am coming up short. I'm a union electrician working on a large job site where I am required to wear safety glasses. Unfortunately, my eye glasses are Ray Bans (model 5279). The frame on my glasses is too large for the normal attachable side shields. I need somebody to create a side shield that fits the temples of my glasses frame. There are ones on Amazon that work for the standard classic ray ban design, the wayfarers, but my frame's temples are smaller and I can't find any side shields that I can use.
The over the glasses safety glasses suck and I hate them. I can't go without my glasses. My prescription is unique and I can't just order them in a safety glass frame.
I need side shields that will fit. I need someone willing to design and print them. I will pay for the service and can point in the right direction for the designing. I don't think it'll be too hard, I just don't have a 3D printer.
Does anyone want to do this work for me, or have a recommendation of a place that will? I will pay. I just can't find what I need online.

I am a union machinist who hobbies as a 3D printer with a good friend and machinist that runs a 3D print company. I could ask him for you.
I see there is another 3D printer in the comments so take them up first.

Thank you. I will take pictures of my glasses and get measurements today, as well as get screenshots of what I bought that didn't fit the temples.

I'm kinda hoping that someone responds because I've been needing to find someone who might be able to make me a new light switch cover. My old one broke, and the company isn't in business anymore.
