Have something crazy to build? Let me know...
Well folks, in my role as Director of Special Projects for TechShop, I am now looking for anybody who has projects for any of the following:
* Laser cutter/engraver
* CNC plasma cutter
* CNC router/mill, metal/plastic (roughly 12x12x4 inches max; larger may be doable)
* CNC hot-wire foam cutter (VERY large bay, suitable for architecture, movie sets/props, etc.)
* 3D printer (fused-deposition modeler, ABS plastic, 12x12x12 inches max-- this is the real deal)
* Vinyl cutter (3 feet by any sane length; suitable for banners, signs, etc.; cutting or plotting operations only)
* ...anything else in TechShop is open to discussion, but these are the most straightforward candidates
...and needs parts in quantities from 1 to 500 within the next six months. We are considering launching a BETA short-run production capability-- our prototyping services are already live-- and I need a few test projects! Burning Man projects, props for video shoots that are still months away, etc., are probably ideal. Laser and foam work in particular I think we will have alarmingly quick turn-around on.
As you probably know, YOU can walk right on into TechShop, take a class, get a membership or day pass, and start working on Your Own Cool Stuff. However, if you need a bunch of something, or if you have zero time to do it yourself, you need to call or email Yours Truly, and I will help you evaluate some options!
Obviously, while we're getting the kinks out of this process, we're offering some price breaks-- I'd like to offer these to my friends and Genuinely Cool People who have a little flexibility before we offer them to The World at Large.
So, let me know!

I know translucent ABS isn't used much, but do you have any for this? ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/816751/415285) | | From: | ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=91.7) garote |

Would this be a good place to work on my bike-bowered-USB-charger thingie? if nothing else, you could make whatever brackets you'd need to hold it all... Sure, we have a number of people working on bike-related projects-- including rolling them from scratch. We've got a TIG welder that works well for aluminum, as well.
"I actually have an almost immediate need for a small run (~15) of laser
scanner mounting blocks that could be cranked out on a CNC mill pretty
easily. Can you put me n touch with your friend?"
