We are getting a bigger (gigantic, really) laser cutter for the space since we have outgrown our current laser. Our current laser cutter was purchased 100% through donations and we want to try that again! This will also be a great chance to get really cheap minutes for laser cutting.
We would like to raise at least $4,000 to pay for half of the total cost. When you donate you will be purchasing laser minutes at half of the normal rate of 50 cents per minute. So if you donate $250 you will get 1000 minutes. Minutes will be usable on either laser. Please note that you don’t need to be a member to buy, sell, or use minutes. If you have minutes, but aren’t a member you can have a member who has been trained on the laser cut items for you.
There is a pledgie campaign set up at https://pledgie.com/campaigns/28927 right now. If you can, it would be best to write a check which can either be given to myself or Jim Dallam as pledgie takes a 3% cut and paypal takes another 3% cut for a total of 6% of your donation.
Thank you so much to everyone who chips in! Every little bit helps us make a cooler and more useful space.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on the laser.
They received the money a few days ago and the laser will be shipped to us in about a week. That means it will probably somewhere between one and two months before it arrives at the hive!
The pledgie will stay up for a while longer. Remember that every dollar you donate means another dollar for other upgrades!
