Print It Forward
Print It Forward Project
The goal here is to provide a system of low cost loaner printed reprap parts so that reprappers far and wide can get to developing the future of the reprap project.
Eligibility
It is the communities expectation that you will have purchased all necessary vitamins and have debugged both electronics, extruder, and stepper motors in advance of participation in the Print It Forward program.(Do not set yourself/reprap community up for failure by ignoring this warning)
Once you commit your name on the waiting list: it is expected that you will be able to make both deposit & interest payment within 72 hours of being contacted by a vendor. To avoid wasting vendor's time: before making this commitment, please ensure that you can deliver on this commitment within 72 hours if contact is made at any time in the next 6 months.
Suggestions
-The suggested deposit is a premium on top of what the current market price is for a set of printed parts. This will discourage a rent to own mentality and will keep vendor parts in circulation. -All shipping should be certified delivery, and details not outlined in rental agreement should be worked out with vendor in advance. -Vendors are suggested to photograph/film plastic's condition as it is being packaged, and as the return package is opened -Renters are suggested to photograph/film plastics's condition as the package is being opened, and immediately prior to shipping. -Use tracking numbers -Follow Internet Best Practices: (avoid western union/escrow services & don't cash checks for people) -Money orders are recommended form of payment
Vendor Rental Agreements:(making a seperate wiki page for these agreements by user is suggested->effective date of edit will be the time "In Stock" is modified from "Yes" to "No" on this page)
JohnnyCooper's Rental Agreement:
--Interest:
- Interest payment buys 31 days from day of delivery to day of return delivery
- If the renter desires to have the plastic for a longer time period: they are to negotiate this in advance with the vendor.
- Vendors can assess late fees of $20/day maximum overdue against the deposit
- To simplify transaction-> cost of shipping will be deducted from deposit
- Unless otherwise agreed upon in advance: package will be shipped to renter via USPS Certified Priority Mail.
