[20:02:38] Ray716: I've been a member for about 2-3 years
[20:02:39] guest_2645: is this a company who will design something for me and then print it and send it to me?
[20:02:44] guest_2645: jason
[20:02:46] SW_Mitchell: selling a lot during the holidays Ray?
[20:03:05] SW_Mitchell: Guest, if you can design it, we can print it
[20:03:30] Ak joined the channel.
[20:03:33] Ray716: only sold 3 items this holiday. Hopefully things will change after I get my web page up.
[20:03:34] guest_2645: well thats my problem, if i could design it i'd buy a reprap and print this myself
[20:03:34] SW_Mitchell: so unfortunately you will have to design it yourself, our ask someone else to design it for you
[20:03:34] youknowwho4eva: We also have easy creators Jason, that you can create stuff using
[20:04:03] SW_Mitchell: true, altough reprap doesn't provide the quality materials which we do
[20:04:06] guest_2645: i'd much rather have my idea powder printed though... so much cleaner
[20:04:14] guest_2645: for sure

[20:04:57] guest_2645: what i need built is easy for someone who does this sorta thing... but my ability on the 3d programs is rather lacking
[20:05:00] youknowwho4eva: Also we have a modeler for hire section, and a modeler needed section in the forums
[20:05:24] guest_2645: well i want to get a set of scale model shipping containers built

[20:05:47] youknowwho4eva: Hi Natalia!
[20:05:56] natalia: We're having technical difficulties with the live stream,
[20:06:02] guest_2645: it should be easy, in fact there are already cad drawings out there for shipping containers... i just want mine to be parts that snap together
[20:06:09] SW_Mitchell: yeah shipping containers are definitely on the site
[20:06:10] natalia: Apologies, so we'll be here for chat
[20:06:19] guest_2645: this way i can assemble one without one of the walls
[20:06:30] GWMT: There are 3D containers on 3D Central and I think on GrabCad to download
[20:06:31] guest_2645: to use for scale modeling container homes
