I was born in SE Michigan, does that count? But seriously, I am in Kentucky now. I'd gladly pay for shipping if you want to send it to me and I will test it for you. Just thought I'd offer.

Yeah I'll probably use PayPal. Never used it so I'll have to set it all up.
Price won't know until I can find someone to check out the intake plug and see if I need to do more work. It fits fine in mine but I need someone to test it. So just waiting on that O rings came in there sent the wrong size. Not thick enough. So I might just make my own seals. So just finalizing the last stuff on it. Trying to come in under $35 for a full kit. Firewall block off plate with o ring Intake plug Resin for this printer is expensive and it's takes time doing the final clean up. Isopropanol alcohol rinse Final cure Removal of support meteral Final finishing of the parts I'm looking into having Amazon do the selling and shipping. I think that would be the best option and help cut down on the price since shipping would be around $8 alone. But as soon as I can get someone in Michigan to come pick up a set for free and test it out I'll know more and start moving them out. Firewall plugs are good I just really wanna make sure on the intake plug. I want a 3rd party to provide feedback on it. So project is on track. |

Got some that just gotta be cleaned up. And the picture shows one that I shatter on a press. There won't ever be any later separation on these since they are done with a SLA printer. And the inside is solid.

Since I couldn't find anyone to test it out and I hit my limit for time and money invested in this I'm just scraping this. I set aside a limit that's why I needed to find someone local. Really can't invest any more time or money into this. Thanks for the compliments but project is scrapped.

I think there are plenty of beta testers willing to help out. I'm sure they would even cover the postage. I know I would. You just might have to go outside your MI box.

Won't happen. Already hit the limit of out of pocket money I'm willing to put into this. I can't just bleed money. When I considered this I put x amount of money and x amount of hours. Soon as one of those were hit the project gets scrapped because if I keep throwing money or time at it it's really not worth it. This was never about making them to sell it was just something I made for my self. I considered selling them but I'm not throwing a ton of money into something that probably won't sell. I'm guessing only 3 might sell. At $35 each that's $105 before PayPal fees and shipping. Shipping will be $8 each so out of that $105 there goes $24. I don't know how manyore changes I'll need to make or how many more hours I'll need to spend and I'm not about to dump more money in shipping stuff out to be tested only to spend more time and money l. Resin runs $149 per liter so at this point I'm just walking away from this rather then burning more money. I just needed a plate to block off the hole in my firewall after I changed some stuff around then needed something that sealed and had a pass through for wires so I changed the plate for that. But making them to sell is just not a viable option any more due to the unknowns like who will actually buy one, cost vs time. There's post process work that involves clean up, trimming etc. And all that for at the most I feel only 3 people would actually buy one. So its officially been scrapped. Sucks but I don't gamble with my money. I have to make a different plug that could be x amount of time in cad. Then making another part and finishing it. Then another $8 to ship it out and so on. I tested it in the spare intake I have here. Worked perfect but without anyone to verify I refuse to sell it. But this is how development goes. Again. Thanks for the compliments. Please don't ask me for any. Please don't ask to buy one, please don't ask for any of the cad files. Project if over. |

Ahhh, I'm disappointed, I was gonna buy a set. But I understand where you're coming from, that's a lot of time and money invested for something that is more than likely a limited interest product. My personal opinion is you'd sell more than three, but that's still an expensive endeavor. Thanks for at least trying.

If I do have to redo the plug that's $60 for the sold works time 4 hours in the print time the a retest what would by the looks of it delay it another week. I would have to do a min of 12 to cover the cost to make them as well as shipping. And I don't see that happening. Down 500lm of resin and I'm just going to use the rest to do some other work to get back some of the time and money I invested $400 was the limit on time and money I was willing to put up front for this. $35 shipped was the max for the price. More work the price would go above that and honestly $35 is high I don't think people would pay more. |
