It was definitely a tongue-in-cheek response to yours. FWIW, I mostly agree with you. I can also see their perspective, a 0.30EUR print + finishing time to clean it up (support removal, solvent vapor bath for smoothing, etc) and put the lenses in, even if they need to do this multiple times a year, still comes out cheaper than buying the frames, even if the quality is suspect. Plus, OP gets to wear their nerd badge with pride.
Personally, I've tried replacing EDC items with 3D printed versions and didn't have much success, but then again, I didn't invest too much time to rev the STLs I found or design better ones.
