Would you help print part of someone else’s large project?
I’ve been kicking around an idea and wanted some honest feedback from the 3D printing community.
A lot of really ambitious projects (full-size robots, cosplay builds, giant models, RC Vehicles, etc) can require hundreds or even thousands of print hours. For one person, that can mean months or years of printing.. or just not being able to do it at all..
What if there was a platform where a designer could upload a large project, split it into parts, and other makers could claim individual pieces to print and ship?
So basically designers could sign up with big ambitious projects, and contributors could each pick a part.. if they wanted to contribute.
It would be a way for big projects to be made, and also a way for people who just print as a hobby to get some recognition.. like a rating system on quality..
Anyone able to help me with this? Or tell me the problems they see with it would be appreciated!
