Lately I've been flooded for requests to build XXX along with "I can pay you" and whatnot. While I'm honored to be asked for such things, I have a team I support already who definitely need the help. I'm only producing what is incidental to what I'm currently working on or studying, and my primary goal is still applied research, not manufacture.
I'll continue to post projects if I come up with something useful that others can build. I'll even give you some pointers if you're stuck, need suppliers, etc. I really need to continue expanding on my own skills and gear so I can do even more in the future.
Projects such as the Armor Initiative are designed to give people the tools to produce their own tech. So far I'm not getting a lot of cooperation, but hopefully that will change.
I've come to realize that there are not many that will go ahead and actually build anything. I think the reason why I'm here (yes, I'm a big believer in Fate) is to show the community what is possible, while trying to find the upper limit to what I can do.
