Title: Offering UK 3D Printing Service
Post by: trilby on March 14, 2014, 04:30:35 PM
Hello

I am offering a UK based 3D printing service. If you need something printing send me a message including a link to the files you want printing and I will provide a free cost estimate.

I currently have in stock black or green PLA filament.

First 5 people will get a 20% discount.

Check out http://www.thingiverse.com/ (http://www.thingiverse.com/) for ideas on what is possible.

Maximum build dimensions 150mm^3

No illegal items will be printed (e.g gun parts)

Thanks
Trilby

You know http://3dprintboard.com has a 3dprinting marketplace.  Start a thread there.  You will get quite a few leads imo.

Thanks for the advice will check them out. Was hoping that the bitcoin community might be a good place to start.

Our community is highly suspicious and highly friendly :)
Anyway your service is cool and perhaps you will find some customers here, but indeed posting yourself at other pages might gives you more customers indeed.

:) Have a nice weekend and post some example printouts when you will find a time.

Cheers!

Please find some sample prints below. Please excuse the camera quality as only have my phone camera to hand as my main camera is at work. Click on them to enlarge.

These are for a PCB vise I have been building

the thing you print is that hard or flexible?

And is it possible to print a phone protector?

Depending on how thick the print is it can be very hard, usually they don't bend / give much they would break under too much force.

PLA is a bit less hard
ABS is like lego's

And yes it is check thingiverse they have a bunch for the different types of phones a little google sketchup and you can customize them.

Depending on where in the world would depend on shipping prices. I would need to look them up. But I do not see any reason why not.

In my opinion a phone case would be best printed in PLA as it is tough but slightly flexible. Lots of examples here http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=phone+case&sa= (http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=phone+case&sa=)

To be honest this wouldn't be the cheapest phone case as they are normally mass produced.

But from a rough calculation based on the following case http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:72542 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:72542) I would print this for £10 plus £3P+P (royal mail recorded delivery) so 0.033BTC (rough napkin conversion).

Any questions please let me know.

Thanks
Trilby

Edit: I am actually printing that phone case as I rather like the design will post some pictures tomorrow of it.
