Is there anyone interested in doing a community buy of a 3d printer for user PTP.
He has contributed so much in these forums.
Imagine what he could do with his own 3d printer.
Depending on how many people will help would determine the price for a 3d printer.
If interested please state how much you would donate. Optional, suggest 3d printer.
Thanks, Keith
UP Mini 2 or UP Box +... both fiddle free and print pretty much right out of the box... They also come with a 1 year warranty... virtually unheard of in the 3d printing world...
LOL
Sorry but I must have given the wrong impression on my last post. Now I can see how someone might have read it the wrong way. I did not mean for it to come out that I was putting the CR10 down. I meant to say that whatever printer he gets that there might be some headaches in getting it and the software setup and running.
Just have fun in whatever one you choose, ptp.
Yeah sorry didn't mean to put words in your mouth, but i do agree on your observation.
I still see a need for a 200mm to 300mm by about 200mm build area. Smaller build areas limit what can be built easily and also printing multiple parts. Sometimes it's nice to not need to glue a lot of parts together or slice existing parts to print.
Maybe a bit of feedback from ptp on what he may want, or questions?
Time to buy.
Just an opinion.
I thought we decided weeks ago this would cause to much debate deliberating over printer choice and just transfer all the money to @ptp and he can decide since he is the user and this was collected for him.
@69developer can you transfer the funds to ptp please.
Thanks
@nink, I agree 100%. We shouldn’t even be having the discussion. Funds should have been placed in his account last week. Starting to get a sinking feeling.
Packages should be arriving to PTP starting this week. I have had discussions with PTP about the printers. If he has any issues with getting things dialed in, I will personally help him. Everyone has their favorite printer.
The delay has been me going through some personal issues with a death in the family, its been rough as everyone knows. Its still is tough. I know no excuses, sorry.
CR10 is actually a pretty good printer / design. We are just fighting with them to get the open source software for the S version. Slowly making progress on that.
@fxrst - no need to be really harsh "like today" - "sinking feeling" - I stay in contact with PTP fairly often and he would keep my head above water.
@Guys: 69developer sent me a few emails, soon I'll have more details regarding this new adventure sponsored by you guys! I still can't believe this is happening.
(69developer/Keith): I didn't want to bring you more stress... you have a lot on your plate.
