I am a pen maker and would like to use the 3D printer to make three items:cap finials (top of pen); cap collars (around bottom of cap); and sections (hold pen point and provide holding place for fingers). I have a sample cross section drawing I will provide to give you an idea of my needs. I am looking for someone who will work with me for several years, although the volume of drawings will be limited. Also I want the drawings returned me to prototype and copyright. Thanks, texasthompo@gmail.com
Hunter: Thanks for responding. I am including two drawings of a Cap Finial for a pen. I am asking you to create a drawing from this that I can send into Shapeways to evaluate your work and to assure that you see what I see (my drawings leave something to be desired.) Once I have selected my 3D partner I will create a set of standard parts for each series of pens. Thereafter, I will create new sets when I am contracted to provide specialized products or want to introduce a new series of pens. Basically the work should be easy, until we get to wrapping a map of the world around the body of a pen or other custom designs. I will retain all rights to my drawings and the 3D drawings you provide for me. Each will be copyrighted after it has passed the prototype test via a Shapeways model. Thanks, again, I look forward to hearing from you, texasthompo@gmail..com
