I've explored three commercial companies, "i.materialize", "Sculpteo", and "Shapeways". You can upload your STL file and get a price quote without committing to any expense. Shapeways is my current favorite based on price and quality, but I have no commercial interest in any of the three. There may be others that a google search would reveal. I've printed maybe half a dozen various designs, so the volume is not there to afford a printer of my own. They ship your item pretty quickly. My next project may be a case for the Raspberry Pi 3.
Check into your local libraries. The local library by my house has a makerspace and has 4 different 3D printers that can be used for free!
