You can always help by spreading the word or by backing the kick-starter campaign when it is launched.
Apart from that, I might need some help building it. So do stay in touch please.
Thank you!

Hi DroneWorks,
Yes, that is the main motive - To be able to completely automate the 3D printing process. You should be able to do everything including removal of existing print from the bed, changing the material and print settings if needed, and starting a new print from any web connected PC or mobile device.
Probably, in recent future drones can carry them to the nearest post office for customers who need shipping. Who knows? 
Thank you!
Sounds like a noble pursuit!
Perhaps the way cost could be kept lower is by reverse engineering what the intended outcome would be.
If the desired end goal is a way to safely, remotely and automatically clear the build plate perhaps a type of conveyor belt type contraption might work. You could have a type of scraper with a very thin point (think sizing gauges) that removes the print from the surface and it is then pulled forward by ‘arms’ onto the conveyor belt and shipped into a container or waiting bay.
It’s maybe a little outside the field of a robotic arm but there’s a potential it could work to the same effect which could remove a lot of restrictions to the price point obviously encountered when trying to engineer and program a robotic arm which would have many different variables.
Not sure if this helps!
Thanks for your input, Mason! Any input helps! More ideas the better 
I always try to apply the K.I.S.S. principle to just about everything in life. At least the best that I can. I think its a cool idea but from my perspective is if all your trying to do is eliminate a 30 minute commute to the office I would be loading those two Desktop printers into my car and bringing them home. Making my home my office and eliminate the overhead of an office and with the increased revenue by a couple more cheap desktop printers. Just seems like more of a hassle than it would be worth.
I would like to respond to this, I build an enclosure around my 3D printer with a door and there is insulation on the inside of the box. In the box i mounted an automatic fire extinguisher (Automatic Fire Extinguishers for Boat Engines & Server Rooms 2 ). I leaf my printer printing all the time, did jobs close to 48 hours and u can’t stay home that long. It is a very cheap solution for if the printer really gets on fire. The only disadvantage is that the powder will ruin the printer and probably damage some stuff close the printer, but i don’t expect my printer to get on fire. It’s just a safety measure i never hope to use, but if i need it, i only need a new printer and enclosure and not a new house (and other emotional stuff).
I bought the automatic fire extinguisher at a grow shop in Holland were they sell stuff to build your own weed house (u can imagine the fire hazard of having this in your house 
)
U can also buy a automatic fire extinguisher they use in server rooms and campers (but they are over 300 euro’s). They contain foam or co2 and they wont severely damage the printer and especially the surroundings if it is in a room with furniture, carpeting or other stuff u surely don’t want to replace after the fire extinguisher went off.
