Thank you for taking the time to stop and read our plight. We are a group of alternative energy researchers who work together via the internet, we have accomplished many great things over the years and wish to extend on our abilities by purchasing a 3D printer. We all work using recycled materials and funds from our own pockets to achieve our results and have not been known to put our hands out for help but in this case we fall short of being able to help ourselves.
We wish to purchase a 3D printer to be used as a communal machine that we can all use within our group, we have 1 person trained in CAD design and willing to host the machine, print the parts required for projects and dispatch them to members of our group and other like minded groups.
We also have aspirations of creating our own PLA / ABS material with a carbon base so it will be conductive and thus we'll be able to print all kinds of circuits and useful surfaces such as the atmo motors rotor with it's plate already attached. we will do this with the help of RWG Research and his homebrew filament maker. http://rwgresearch.com
To be clear, this printer will not just be for our group to use, ANY researcher in a similar field of research will be welcome to contact us and have us print parts AT COST + postage for them (around 10c a gram, to cover power, general wear and tear and the plastics used) , we sympathise with all researchers in our field as we know all too well that not having access to a 3D printer can be a HUGE setback when doing research, we open / free source all our work and will do the same with the printer.
More about the research we do can be found here; http://kultus.weebly.com/atmo-motor.html
Donated ? want to see where your name will go ? check out this link, this page gets over 100 views a day from other researchers ... so you will not go unnoticed http://kultus.weebly.com/3d-printing.html
The Atmo motor Explained; this cost us a lot to have made and would be ridiculous to try and make a larger one by order to a 3D print company .
How The Funds Will Be Used
1x http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281244570130 will be purchased $1000 free P&H
2x rolls of ABS will be purchased to get us going 2x $ 30 free P&H
There is a 5% fee that pozible will charge us
upon a successful campaign 5% of 1100 = $ 55
of which you will not we fall short by -$ 15
the left over $15 I will pick up the tab personally.
TOTAL $1100
if we go over our goal the funds will be used for;
if we reach $1999
We will be buying a Filabot Original to make our own filaments including the conductive one mentioned above
$899 for 1x http://www.filabot.com/collections/home-page-colle...
if we reach $2438
We will be buying a Filabot Reclaimer to properly crush and reclaim left overs and out dated projects for use in the Filabot Original.
$439 for 1x http://www.filabot.com/collections/home-page-colle...
