I live in 2020, and I just used a meme generator to make an over 9000 meme because WE SMASHED 9000 PRINTS AND ALMOST HIT 9200 PRINTS TODAY!!! (9214 at the time of posting, all three printers finished)
Current stock is almost 1300, which is going to fill two requests, and the rest is being sent to the Navajo tribe!! I have a connection in Colorado that is bringing aid daily to the reservations which are being servery hit by the pandemic.
I've had a few issues with filament this week as well, so I'm returning a few spools, being reimbursed, and restocking since we're at around 9000g remaining with around 800g consumed daily.
Please keep sharing! Please keep the donations coming in. Please keep asking for more aid. I couldn't have done all this without your support and getting word around. Seriously, to every single one of you, 9200 is an incredible milestone. We're already over halfway to the print goal. But once we get to 13,500 I might need to evaluate the structure of this campaign. Start selling online and donating directly to hospitals if I cannot get more backing. I do intend, as I promised 48 days ago, to donate the printers to a school/library wen the pandemic is over so all $2186 raised dollars DO go masked heros. If I printed and sold every ear saver for just 1 dollar on etsy, I could make more than of all the gofundme donations received in the last 48 days. With 2 grand I could buy 10 more printers. And print 3500 ear savers a day! But then I'm not keeping strictly to my donations funded mindset. If you want to contribute your feedback, especially on this last part I would love to hear what you have to say. This train is powered by the people, you all have a voice.
Thank you for reading, thank you for your feedback and support. Sleep well, eat healthy, make sure you exercise, wash your hands, and stay strong. We will beat this!
