Group-buy 3D Printer for Friends and Family
Donation protected
3D Printers are becoming more and more useful around the house, but not everyone can afford them or have easy access to them. Additionally, 3D printing has a learning curve that some people don't have the time or the technical inclination to pursue.
In discussions with friends and family I have learned that many of you want access to quick and cheap and creative items from a 3D printer, but don't want the upfront costs and to have to climb the steep learning curve. It's also possible you didn't know of the potential of a 3D printer to create all sorts of useful, difficult to find, or even expensive items but want to see for yourself what can be achieved.
Help me pay for a 3D printer by donating to this GoFundMe and I'll do the research, climb the learning curve, and provide you with 3D prints for your donation.
My goal is to raise enough to cover the majority of the costs of the printer and starting supplies and provide donor with some prints for their support. Be it custom doorknob handles, shelving brackets, nozzle attachments, or gaming terrain and mini's. The only limitation is the size, material, and resolution of the printer I am aiming to buy, the Creality Ender 3 Pro.

A recommended $50 donation will allow you to request prints from me on the printer. Keeping in mind reasonable requests and materials costs, I will do my best to get you the best print I can (also learning and practice needed). See below for what you can expect from backing this group buy:
Need some ideas?:
Refrigerator storage box fresh spacer
Ratchet clamp
Knobs so many knobs
Bag Clip with Screw Cap
Modular Tabletop Scenery
approximations on how much you can print for $50 donation (after which you just need to pay for material costs):
- 50 Key Chains (80mm x 20mm x 5mm and 5 grams)
or
- 25 Iphone 5 Cases (128mm x 62mm x 9.3mm and 10.2 grams)
or
- 26 Full size Chess pieces (19.5mm x 4.4mm x 73mm and 9.7 grams)
- or 90 regular sized ones (6 full chess sets)
