Hi @textilestechs I am really keen to persuade our textile members (and others) that we need to convince someone to lend or donate a large format textile printer to the space. I really strongly believe its a huge gap in the maker revolution because it’s so expensive to get things printed at the moment that no one is really using the medium.
I have loads of ideas for how we could use it to push our projects into new spaces. Do you have any thoughts on the best way to kick this off? I’m happy to lead and do all the legwork but I understand that these decisions are made by the whole community so very keen to rally support. Are there any textile (or other) events coming up that you think I could use to rally support?
I have a pack of 90 different fabric swatches that I could donate to the space for anyone who wants to see what it’s possible to do with one? Do we have a materials library maybe?
Can you help at all? Would you support this idea? All suggestions for how to move it forward welcome!
