Giving a little back.................

For quite some time now, I have turned to this forum for help on electronics projects, both with and without Picaxe at the heart. Ive always had constructive and valuable advice and support, for which I am very grateful

It is highly unlikely I will ever be at a level to give back knowledge and support on electronics to these forums. So I thought I would offer support of a different kind

I have access to 3D printers at work, and also free reign to use them as I choose. Therefore I would like to offer my support for anyone needing plastic parts printed for their project. I would offer this free of charge or if you wish you can offer a donation towards the costs.

The offer is open, and I hope I can return the support I've been given on these forums

Cheers

A very generous and thoughtful offer Rusty, I am sure a few of the members will glady take up your offer.

Hi Rusty,

That is a very kind offer you are making.

At the moment I don't have any specific need for a 3D printed part, but I do have an idea that might be interesting to explore.

How about some kind of 3D PICAXE logo, maybe a keyring, or an emblem to stick on an enclosure - Powered by PICAXE !.

I don't have the tools ( or time ) to design such an object, but I'm sure someone on the forum could do it.

Cheers,

Buzby

Hmmm... Just bought the parts to start building one....

Can you make the parts for this machine?

I would be happy to pay for postage and any mutually agreed extra :)

Many thanks.

Marz.

Hi Marz, I dont see why is couldnt print some of the parts. If you sent me an example file (STL or STEP) then I could give it a while

Hi Buzby,

Sound like a good plan, if someone has idea for a logo, I can draw it up in CAD and give it a go

Cant think of anything that I need, but wish I could offer more support to this community as well!
