3D Printing and Mechanical Design in Bellingham, WA

Hi, I'm Coder Myers, Mechanical Engineer. I apologize for the wall of text. This website doesn't accept paragraph breaks!I'm offering mechanical design in Autodesk Fusion [removed phone]D CAD) for $25/hr. If your design is already finished, I offer 3D printing services, designs with longest dimension less than 120mm, 5$ minimum plus material cost and $2/hr of machine time. Volume discount available.I will clarify that initial design evaluation is free of charge, I will not expect payment until I deliver you a design or a printed part, and I will provide a not-to-exceed cost estimate before I start to work.I'm currently freelancing, looking for side gigs until I find my dream job.I design plastic parts in Autodesk Fusion 360 and 3D print them. Here are some of the things I'm working on:Parts for other 3D printers, in the spirit of the RepRap movement.Aerodynamic quadcopter airframes, AKA drones. I can make a tiny 35 gram racing drone, or one that's larger and powerful, but just under 250 grams, so you don't need to register it with the FAA. Many designs already in the works.Replicas of hard-to-find auto parts, for classic cars, expensive cars, custom parts for any car) anything plastic.I can model buildings from architectural drawings and floor plans.I can probably design and print almost anything you can think of. My capacity for individual components is currently small (120mm x 120mm). I would be interested in scaling up my capacity for the right job. There is also the Bellingham Foundry/Makerspace if you need something bigger right away.I am building up my mechanical design portfolio so I can start a new career, so I'm willing to take on design projects for $25/hour. Parts with simple geometry can typically be designed in less than an hour, and my 3D printing rates are competitive, based on time and materials. Parts can be made of:PLA - inexpensive, fairly durable, food safe, somewhat brittleABS - inexpensive, tough and more flexible than PLA, UV resistant, tends to shrink and cause problems with precision designsPETG - stronger than ABS or PLA, medium flexibility, somewhat higher costNylon and reinforced Nylon - Ultimate strength, durability and UV resistance, requires high temperatures, greater cost.Other options such as wood infused plastic can create unique and interesting surface finishes, but require retooling. I'm open to buying new tooling if the job is big enough to make it worthwhile.Please also feel free to contact me if your company has an open position in mechanical design, prototyping, research and development, manufacturing, or project management (excluding building construction.)Call or text [removed phone]-XXXX
