My name is Jaden Riley. I’m from a small town in central Illinois, and I’m in a program called CEO. CEO is a program for High School Seniors that Creates Entrepreneurial Opportunities and brings experience of the real world to the “classroom.” If you would like more information on CEO just ask and I will be glad to share.
During the second semester of the class we will be starting a real business with real money.
I will be doing a 3D Modeling and Printing service. Right now, my options are limited. I have a laptop that has trouble running the modeling and slicing software, I have to use basic 3D modeling software, and I only have access to the printer at my school. To become more efficient I will need to purchase a printer and a good computer.
I have started a GoFundMe page, and I was wondering if this would be a good place for me to share the link to get the word out.
This sounds like a brilliant project as most young people aren’t taught about the value of money. This may open their eyes to what business is really like. A project called Young Enterprise works with a similar objective. However this is subject specific to 3D printing.
Would you mind letting me know more as I may be able to help where necessary.
I have quite a knowledge of 3D printers and 3D modelling so could give crucial advise for your project to help others.
Seems like asking for money is a poor business start. How about use the school printer to create things that earn you money to buy what you need or get a job and save your money from that.
Honestly this is the part where your own research will bed fit your needs. I’d suggest looking through the 3D hubs printer guide and seeing what is available for that price, honestly it’s most likely going to be a self assembly kit which is good as it will teach you a lot about how printers work and how to maintain them. Once you have one or a few you have in mind, Google it or search on YouTube for some honest reviews about that printer. Once it’s all said and done you should have what will hopefully be the best printer for your exact current needs. Hope this helps! Also I don’t have a link to the printer guide, but I’m sure someone on here could be kind enough to post it
