Description
There are lots of resources here to help yourself, but if necessary we can help you individually.
Article
We are constantly working on making the resources here better and better to enable you to personally create and print whatever is needed. I can also point you in the right direction to enable solving problems yourself (just buy me a coffee below with your question). Failing these I can provide help (at a cost of course). Here is how it works:
- You get my attention by using the chat or buy-me-a-coffee features on this page.
- We correspond to discuss your needs (whether you just need a drawing, a drawing and a 3D printed part or a file to upload to a printing service).
- If we decide to go ahead I'll quote a price. When you give go-ahead we will forward a PayPal invoice.
- When we have confirmation of payment we will forward the agreed information, file or part.
In some cases we will set you up in a channel in our Slack or Discord account for long-term interaction.
