No. My glasses are perfectly adjusted to my face - simply because I took the time to design them just right for me - and they're very light. They're probably the most comfortable frames I've ever worn.
They are not that flimsy. Granted, PLA or PETG aren't the most rigid or durable materials out there, but they easily match acetate. And if I break the frames, it just doesn't matter: I can make new ones in minutes. If anything, you're probably a lot more inconvenienced than I am when you break your glasses because you have to wait forever to get a new pair made, and you have to be a lot more careful than I am. Me, I just care about not damaging the lenses. But I can break the frames every day of the year, not have to go without glasses and I'd still come out ahead financially.
I didn't cheap out. I started designing my own frames 20 years ago (out of silver nickel back then) because I wasn't satisfied with the commercial alternatives. It took me a lot of time to come up with the perfect frames - perfect for me anyway. The cost savings are a nice bonus.
Don't dismiss 3D printing just because cheapskates use it to cheap out. Done right, it's a very nice alternative to mass-produced items - and you know as well as I do that there's nothing more personal and bespoke than a pair of glasses.
Any documentation of your work on 3d printed glasses somewhere ? Not for me just for a friend (o･ω･o) Edit : didn't see your comment bellow
