Topic: Hello from Uganda: who wants to help making 3D printing a success?

Hello 3D  community,
recently printrbot donated two printers to us to see if 3D printing can help Uganda develop a manufacturing sector.
We are a small local solar company, trying to develop a product line, and we want to use 3D printers to put our electronics in a case.  We are struggling optimizing parameters so we are reaching out to the broader community looking for support. We welcome online mentors and hope somebody adventurous will consider a trip with a purpose to Uganda.

I hope this community will want to explore the many ways 3D printing can help change lives in Africa! 

Ciao

Paola

Thanks Ronsii.

Do you recommend that I start a new posting trail in a different section than the introduction? Or should I just get rolling from here?

Thanks

Paola

I would start a new thread on the subject you need help with... of course search through the forum first as most problems with quality and designs have been covered quite a bit smile

I find using google.com to search works better than the built in search function simply type 'site:soliforum.com improving print quality'

Thanks Ronsii,
I did search, and found something similar, but the solution did not work for us. I noticed you pitched into that discussion.

I reposted and I hope you can help me.
