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
PTP you diserved it.you are always very helpfull.am very happy that this community has showen there best again.very proud to be one .
69developer,you are a great person that thinks of other people.the world needs lots of people like you.
thanks
@69developer I am sorry to hear about your stressful situation and condolences from all of us here and hope you can begin healing.
I know this goodhearted idea came from you and we know PTP puts in an amazing amount of his time here and deserves this reward. My only advice going forward, its always a good idea to keep those that contributed updated with information. If you have time to talk with PTP, and order the printer, then you have time to stop by here with a quick post stating as much or more.
We look forward to PTPs unboxing video
And hopefully we can guide him through what will be a rollercoaster learning curve!
My time is limited and tired of hearing @fxsrst.
I'm going to send him the money and then you guys can pick out a printer for him and give him the support.

thats great ptp wil be very happy.ptp can choose for himself.
Thank you, @69developer for taking on the responsibility of putting all this together. Your time and efforts was appreciated by all here.
I am sure @ptp will enjoy his new 3D printing journey.
@69developer, I am sorry for your loss and wish you future wellness.
@69developer I misunderstood, I thought you said packages would be arriving this week, so I thought you have chosen the CR 10 for PTP. I think its better that he can now choose himself.
Here's the package FXRTST:
The reason I sent it to myself before shipping to PTP was that I took everything out of box and put it together. Checked/adjusted the printer. Installed solid mounts on the bed. Installed anti-vibration pad on motors. Installed upgraded PTFE tube in hot end. Upgraded the firmware to latest Marlin and made custom boot screen that had PTP on display. Made sure filament out sensor worked ok. Installed hardened nozzle. Installed quiet fans. Did two test prints. Setup custom FFF for S3D.
It would not have been a roller coaster learning curve, he could have taken out of box and choose print. (I had preloaded a lot of STL's on the SD card in the printer).
I will eat the costs and keep it I guess. The money has been sent to PTP.
You should have posted that was what you were doing. We would have supported you sending that to him! Especially because you already have it mostly ready for him. That's why communication is so important!
You are a good man. I have a Tevo Tornado, a CR-10 knock off, and I love it...after i installed autobed leveler and added the smoothers and.. and...and. Hopefully they can get their issues with the firmware figured out. They are getting BBQed online.
You could easily sell on ebay especially with the upgrades you made. What version is this? S/5?
