I'm looking for someone who would like to do a custom 3D Print for me. My 3D printer has been down for quite some time and I don't have the time to fix it currently. This will be a 3D Printed nest that I will essentially use as a prototype to create a mold for different materials to be used. I'm offering around the $200 mark for this job. I may offer less or more depending on the quality of work. Send me a PM here and we can discuss details.

I would but my 3d printer quality is not the best and I am trying to figure out how to make it better. Also I can't print multicolor as I have a simple Ender 3 V3

I'm just curious, why pay $200? Surely a place like JLCPCB is much cheaper, and usually you can find an old ender for $50 on Facebook Marketplace and print it yourself. Or use a local print shop. I can print it but all I have is a stock Ender 3 V1 and shipping would be from California. I have white and black creality filament (2 separate rolls), and orange bambu labs filament. PM me if you're still interested.

Because of materials, the time to design it and other factors. Anything less than $200 on any custom project won't get you too far.

Ah I see, sadly I have limited experience making just a few objects in onshape and don't trust myself to design it for you. If you want to send designs, though, I would be happy to rapid prototype it as I have some formicarium materials to test the mold before sending it to you. Unless you were trying to make a positive mold. Then I can't test it first, still I can print and send dimensions before mailing it if you have the design. I'm currently unemployed so asides from this all I would be doing with my day is working on my resume or sending applications and I can use a few extra dollars. Feel free to just tell me no if your looking for a more experienced 3d printer/designer.

Are you able to do it in Canada? I also have a 3D printer but it is an Anycubic so the quality isn’t the best and I am not the best at using 3 modeling softwares and in plus, I use blender and not Onshape


Currently keeping:

 

1x Formica subsericea, 20+ workers

1x Crematogaster cerasi 2 workers with brood (still growing)
