You can buy something like that on Amazon or AliExpress for a dollar per dozen (even cheaper if buy in bulk).

But what if I need only one and I need it today?

Not everything revolves around money. It is a hobby, in the first place.

I have sunk hundreds into this hobby. But hey, I have a phone case I'm using that costs $0.04 so that's nice. Isn't made by slaves in China so that's a bonus.

Or I could get them even cheaper and within a couple of hours by printing them
