You need a printer so you can understand the strengths and limitations of the physical process and results and design accordingly to shape and strengthen as needed. Its knowledge and experience you need to struggle with in order to understand the reality of the likely result for real world use. You still show the ignorance and have an unrealistic expectation as a result. 3D printers are not all the same and results differ depending on how well setup and tuned the printer is. Particularly how good layer adhesion is, how the temperature and humidity in the room the printer was used will widely effect overall strength and how the infill is handled will change dimensional accuracy. Its like people seeing a cheap telescope at Aldi and thinking that’ll be awesome but the reality is far from the truth, its more likely an experience that will turn them off getting a suitable telescope and astronomy altogether. You’re in the same “ head buried in the sand” position. Sure you can build a model and send it off to someone to print but it could look ok on your screen but have errors due to the software and how you built the model that makes it unabled to be sliced for printing, even if its works it may not be strong enough to be relied on to support weight. Which is why services like Shapeways are expensive they have proper 3D printers not the poor consumer levels ones that are not very good for anything more serious than a trinket. I’m yet to see an affordable and reliable consumer level 3D printer but we’re getting close. They are still mostly chinese built kits from chinese parts with poor quality control and work well for a bit at least until something goes wrong (usually due to using cheapie filaments or electronics frying). To build an effective model requires experience of printing, not just being able to build a model. Still a short cylinder is easy enough and will work out but prepare for it to fail since you clearly dont comprehend how it can fail due to zero experience. Its not as simple as you think. I won’t offer my prediction beyond it’ll go together and work for one day. I prefer my prints to work forever not just temporarily for a little while.

There's ways to talk to others, but
THAT ain't it. People may be ignorant of knowledge, but that can be acquired just like experience. Ignorance of manners and disrespect is another thing all together.
Peace out.
