Got a broken machine? Something doesnt work? Looking for an unobtainable replacement part? Thats where I come in -
See Ive been working on this wonderful gizmo (I actually own 2ea) for years which I call a 3D Printer. Some companies call it a Cencept Modeller. Whichever word you prefer...
Its kind of like MAGIC - I insert an SD card into the machine and PUSH a Button and A FEW HOURS LATER a small very professional looking plastic piece is ready to go.
What is like magic for me today - really isnt magic at all - see it took a long time to come up with modifications to existing machines and combining a bunch of mail order parts and pieces ... late night soldering ... custom making metal pieces ... etc and VOILA - now it works. It works so well that it exceeds my expectations.
Think about all of the gadgets, gizmos, appliances, tools, toys, fixtures, sports equipment, vehicles, etc that somewhere or another incorporate a very fragile delicate plastic piece. All it takes is for that LITTLE TINY PIECE to break or chip or wear out and then that whole device now faces going to the LANDFILL.
Here are some pictorial examples of what my machine can build.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember - Im not selling my machine ...
I will make a small plastic piece for you.
You provide the STL file which you have created.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this world of ONLINE this and Online that - it is easy to copy/paste/download files from the internet. HOWEVER as a requirement for this service - please only send files that YOU PERSONALLY created. As I respect and honor Copyrights and Patents and hold several of my own.
Please do not send me ANY file which VIOLATES or INFRINGES on anyones rights.
NO THANKYOU.
Got something which has questionable rights - I will pass on it - NO THANKYOU
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How Does This Work - What Do You Need To Do?
Step1 Create an STL file using your favorite CAD software
Step2 Click on Paypal payment button
Step3 Email me a signed/dated Authorization / Non-Infringement Rights Letter
Step4 Wait for your item to arrive ...
Some Details Which are Important
At this time I am concentrating on ABS plastic and SMALL parts. If your part is BIG/Large/Huge - then I will have to pass on it - due to the sheer size. See I made and modified my 3d Printing machine to concentrate on creating the MINIATURE TINY LITTLE parts and pieces which cause to many devices to be thrown away- for lack of these small replacement parts.
Some common size vs price comparisons
1. 25cents USA Quarter ..........................Yes $20
2. A cookie .......................................Probably a little more but not by much
3. A hamburger bun ...............................No not for $20
4. A paperclip ....................................... Yes $20
5. A postage stamp ................................ Yes $20
6. A cell phone ..................................... No not for $20
7. Cigarette pack .................................. No not for $20
8. Water Bottle Cap ............................... Yes $20
9. 6-sided dice ...................................... Yes $20
10. A popsicle stick ................................ Yes $20
NO IM NOT SELLING THESE ITEMS - JUST A SIZE COMPARISON - FOR MY 3D PRINTING SERVICE PRICE versus SIZE
*******************************************************************************************
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO_THANKYOU
********************************************************************************************
There are several things in the above list which I consider NOT COST EFFECTIVE to even discuss- yes I can create an object as large as a hamburger bun - but the cost is too high and NOBODY would want to spend that much.
Im concentrating on the CHEAPSKATE price of $20 for very small parts and pieces.
What About Shipping Cost?
Depending on how many STL files I receive that week - I MAY be able to print today and ship out within a few days. HOWEVER since my price is SO CHEAP - I reserve the right to be a SLOWPOKE and NONRUSH service. SO that can take awhile. See sometimes people inquire about rush shipping - but it is easy to FORGET ABOUT ME - see it isnt just the shipping - it is the fact that you want me to 3d Print It, Package it, Ship It and the EXTRA COST in RUSH SHIPPING doesnt take into consideration the effort and time for me to accomplish that. NORMALLY NON_RUSH and I reserve the right to BE SLOW and take my time.
Your Authorization Letter / Non-Infringement Letter
1. Signed with your signature
2. State that you have created this STL file yourself
3. State that you are authorizing me to make X number of copies for you.
4. State that you acknowledge the part / piece is experimental and may someday sooner or later break.
a. you have considered the consequences of breakage or loss of this part
b. breakage or loss of this item will not cause injury or harm to anyone or anything
5. State that you will carefully use and store this plastic item in a safe manner
6. State that you hold all rights to the use and creating of this plastic item
