For a while, I've been running a Hub over at 3DHubs, where I go by the name of Vectorfield.
3DHubs.com is a site where people can print designs for other people who may not have a printer of their own. Most customers go with local hubs so that the models can be delivered by the hub owner without having to worry about shipping.
I updated my hub header today. What do you think?
I currently offer PLA and PETG in a variety of colors, but due to the limitations of my printer, I can only print objects up to about 5 inches in size. I also cannot print flexible filaments, or many other exotic filaments. Because my heated bed stopped working, I can't even print ABS.
The other day I heard about a guy who was offered a couple hundred dollars for a print job, but he had to turn it down because his printer, which is much bigger than mine, wasn't big enough to print it.
This is another reason I have decided to build my own printer, and I'm going to build it from scratch rather than a kit, so I can make it as big as possible for as little money as possible. There are a whole community of people doing this, and they call it RepRap.
