Hello,
My name is Lawrance and i’m the founder of MakerSpaceClub Romania.We are a young Club at the beginning of the road and like any club that is at the starting point, we have had the need to put in our space all the equipment and machines that we could find.One of the first investments was the eShapeoko Hobby CNC, a very cheap, reliable and good quality machine that we can use to build our self the rest we need for the MakerSpaceClub, like a 3D printer, laser cutter, camera slider rig, pick and place machine and the rest of what we can think about.
eShapeoko is the European version of the, now famous in USA, Shapeoko(www.shapeoko.com), that is made with MakerSlide(www.makerslide.com).
The problem is that MakerSlide and the Accessories(the basic materials to build all this machines) are quit expensive for us to buy them from USA or UK, because of the shipping and dutty taxes.So we have decided that we should start a campaign on Indiegogo to raise the funds to make a new die for MakerSlide in East Europe.Like this we can make the rail and accessories more available for makers and Open Source enthusiasts. For this reason i come to announce you about the campaign that is taking place on Indiegogo for a new die for Makerslide in East Europe.I have put some interesting perks for you, so please check them out.Like this you don’t only buy a great aluminium V-rail system at a very good price, but you also help a new HackerSpace that is at the starting point. http://igg.me/at/MakerSlideEurope/x/6253
I hope that you will appreciate this initiative and you will back this project or at least you could make us very happy by helping us to spread the word to anybody that you could think that are interested in this project.
A portion of the sale will go to Bart Dring, the creator of MakerSlide. www.buildlog.net
Thank you, Boghiu Laurentiu
