I know we're running businesses here, but there are also a lot of good causes out there fueled by 3D printer hours.

I feel like in addition to makexyz etc, it would be cool to put some portion of my printer hours up for donation.

Do you do any pro bono work?

vinnie90 - The only thing I heard of "somewhat donating printing time" was enable.

I was with them since the first googlehangout and gave them a couple of ideas. However, I stopped working with them for my reasons.

we3du - Good idea @boxbluff. I'm a member of e-nable, designing, printing and fabricating prosthetic hands for kids. I honestly can't think of a better way of using my 3DP for the good of the community. What could be better than making an Iron Man hand for a 9 year old kid? Suddenly his self-image goes from some kid who has something missing to being a Super Hero! I'd definitely recommend that you get involved with e-nable.

elpulpo - @zip456. E-nable tries to put people in touch with prospective recipients in their local area. I'd suggest that you take a look at the Google+ community, sign up and I'm sure somebody will be in touch to discuss how you can help....

bdnewnan - Recently, I donated my replicator 2 to the local middle school. The 6-8 graders love it and it works well for them with simple designs. Brian
