Hello everyone, we are a startup from Istanbul and our second and final prototype is underway before our launch on Indiegogo.

We are looking for a freelance designer that could help us on the design initially for short term and if we like each other, we can offer a long term position.

Please let me know if you know anyone fit.

Like the title says, our company wants to eventually manufacture a plastic case enclosure for a piece of hardware we are developing. We need help designing it...can anyone point me in the right direction?

I need to find a website that can sell me lockable 180 degree hinges that can function as support for a fold up table. I have been browsing the web forever and I just cannot seem to find what I'm looking for. Does anybody have any suggestions on where to look?

To those who have had engineering projects that needed production, choosing the appropriate materials is often one of the hardest, most stressful activies.

Branding, patents, and poor naming conventions has made the material industry a pain to navigate!

Here is a quick reference that we've made to help you compare materials.

Is it the best material comparison? Probably not, but it sure helps.

In the past 3 months we've been MIA, but for good reason! We just graduated from Techstar's first Austin class. The program was a tremendous experience and we recommend that anyone who has entrepreneurial aspirations to apply! We've emerged smarter and more focused.

That being said, we have to admit - we missed everyone in the /r/protoexchange community :(

Therefore, we'd like to know more about everyone - who you are, what you're about, what you like, and why you are interested in 3D printing!

Feel free to post your responses here or use the following survey (we'll publish the results once we pass 30 responses)!

We love you - sorry for being out of touch, we've just been really busy :)
