To all 3d printers on the forum

As you all are well aware, the HM project has evolved over the last few years to a point where 3D printing has become an integral part of the community. When this first started the demand wasn't very high and Matt and I were able to handle most requests. As you might have heard, due to time constraints, Matt had to stop printing for the HM project but Ralph has been picking up some of that slack. Unfortunately, I'm now at the point where I'm going to have to seriously limit my printing as well. My inbox is filled with case requests and I don't even have the time to respond to all of them. I know for a fact that there are many people on this forum with 3D printing capabilities because I've printed the parts for at least 4 forum member's machines. I was hoping that anyone with a 3D printer that is willing, will post their contact in this thread so that forum members seeking assistance in 3D printing could find it here. Maybe we could setup some central location for people to place requests and then we could fill them based our availability. If anyone has an idea, please post it.

Thanks,

Tom
 
Actually this is on my todo list for this week, Tom! We're going to make a sticky thread for members helpin' members for case printing, damper printing, heatermeter building, all the way up to turnkey devices or selling used HeaterMeter. Folks can post in the thread what they're offering and how to contact them and I'll keep the first post up to date with a list of resources around the world.
 
I could chip in 1 or 2 a week. Hell, my Da Vinci has been idle for the last 2 days, first time I've been in the office & not having something printing since I got it in Nov. I've never offered because I don't want to undercut Tom/Matt/Ralph who actually did the CAD work, which for me, is the hard part.
Think we could come up with a standard pricing/ordering system? I don't really want to make money, but I don't want to lose it & I don't want to take up a bunch of time going back & forth with customers. Kinda a beer drinking & grillin' 3dhubs, but without the insane pricing. $100+ to print ~65m of filament on a makerbot? Sign me up for that, I'll buy 10 more da vincis
 
I could certainly help out with the cases if the need is there. Let's get that thread started so we can keep track of the requests and available printers.
