I've been bugged LOTS if I can print off some center screw cap covers (E85) - my re-model being freely downloadable here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4247901
Problem is, whilst I can set a batch going, between work & illness I just do not have the time to be dealing with orders and posting out batches etc.
Since demand has still been in place for some time, I'm looking for help!
Is there someone, with a good standing on this forum, who would be willing to deal with all the orders, and all I do is simply send them a bulk that I've printed.
I'm only printing in PLA, so whilst they do last (I've had mine in place for over a year) they can still be fragile, so I would recommend sending say 6-8 to each person.
I will obviously need more time to print some, I think I have about 25-30 ready to go in BLACK. I do also have some cream/beige filament I will be doing a smaller batch of.
Cost wise from my point of view, when you consider machine running costs (filament, electricity, time etc) I reckon a batch of say 100 would cost me about £40 .... Broken down £25 is filament, £10 in running costs / time, and then £5 to post a bulk amount to whomever would be able to deliver and deal with individual orders.
I was thinking people could DONATE to myself if they wanted, but don't have to (via a PayPal link).... but it's down to the individual doing the legwork (packaging and posting etc) that would dictate a REASONABLE and FAIR purchase price to cover their costs and time.
Thoughts?
I've posted this here in Services because currently I'm not selling them, rather, I'm looking for a "distributor" :lol:
