    Chicago is one of the largest cities in the country — about 2,721,000 residents, thousands of broken brackets, hobby projects, and prototypes a year, and nowhere near enough local printers to make them. A city this size supports many makers; jobs route by distance and availability, so each maker effectively serves their own side of town.
