Hello there. It is a really good idea to have relationships with other Hubs. One good thing about relationships is about marketing. I am having a hard time marketing my Hub. I don’t really have a good social media presence. I am from the Vancouver area

Paul I agree I am in much the same situation as you . As you know I am not far from you One of the best things about local relationships is support parts and service are all over the internet for the most part so if your machine is down a phone call to someone near by and maybe they know or have a idea that can get you going or they have a spool of filament you want to try or a nozzle to keep you going when your in the middle of a job I have helped a few people like this and there are a few more of us locally that may not have hubs bit that for sure have printers And not everyone had the same equipment some machine are better than others for some things so knowing who can he’ll your customer when you can’t is still likely going to help your reputation
Always interested in networking , we should start a lower mainland group and try to meet up once a month. Any ideas on hosting?
Yeah there used to be one called 3d604 but when tinketine move to Vancouver it pretty well died But I am sure we could work something out with the fraser valley maker space or just do Boston pizza like we used to do
I would be up for that, I am located in Abbotsford and my hub partner is in chilliwack. We met up with Paul from mission last weekend
From what I can tell paul and I are pretty close though we have not been able to meet up So maybe we can arrange something closer for the 4 of us But I plan to head out to the maker space Friday they are in Langley so if you guys are interested I am going to be there Other wise I have to plan ahead for stuff the next few weeks are super busy at work and home
I can’t go to maker space this Friday as we will be doing physical inventory all week at work… But perhaps next time you are planning on going
Hi there Paul! I think its nice to have relationships with other Hubs, especially if you work with different materials or specialties than them. That way they could recommend people to you and you could recommend people to them!
