You've got something screwed up there for sure.

Have you done a design at all ?

As fas a cnc and injection moulding goes - yes that would cost a LOT more.
An 18 inch X 11 inch bird fountain doesn't seem like a smallish print. Everyone I've talked to said it's huge, hence the price. I would think that with Covid printing services would welcome this project but they are still very busy with other projects. Good for them. I've pretty much given up this idea. It sucks. No, I have not done a CAD drawing yet. First I need to find out what's feasible and what the material is first. I'm kind of giving up on the idea. This sucks but it's a first world problem.
