Greetings Members!!   After our last board member, we decided that we would replace our aging Delta 3d printer.   The delta served us well, but it's been difficult to maintain.  We're proposing the Ender 3 Max Neo, which we will control with a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint.   I'm throwing in the raspberry pi and accessories.  I'll put a link to the printer at the bottom of this post.

We'll use the crowdfunding method to purchase the printer.   If you would like to pledge via email, please respond to this thread with the amount of your pledge.
If you like to pledge via Discord, I've created a new channel #crowdfunding  ,  where you can put in your pledge.   If you pledge, PLEASE ALSO DM ME WITH YOUR REAL NAME, so I can track pledges.

Currently, the printer is sale priced at $295 for the next 5 days.   With taxes, shipping a target of $350 is reasonable.   If we can't make the sale price, we're probably looking at a little more than $400. (edited)

The current two 3d printers will be disposed at a later.  And funds raised will go back into OMG.    

Please pledge if you are interested.

Dave

Curious, I didn't see the link to the printer. (Not being snarky, just curious to read more about it.)

Crowdfunding for 3D Printer is successful!     We have reached our goal and the printer has been ordered!   Please make arrangements to send your pledge to OMG.   The easiest way is to to use the donate button on the Web site and put a note to describe the donation.     Thanks!!
