During this unfortunate global pandemic. ErectorBot Inc will be “fast tracking” our larger machines / orders purposed for medical use. Our supply chains as of this morning are still open and fully operational. Our standard orders will remain on track. Medical machines will make use of ACME 304 stainless Z Screw dimension from USA to get new unit orders quickly.
To those in government.. We build the largest machines available. Please send this on……
Furthermore, have started the process of making use of the larger format machines to produce much needed masks and protective shields. These make the re-use of clear 2 liter bottles and or water bottles to then be clipped into a 3d printed plastic band.
Those locally to us. Feel free to drop off “clear only” 2 liter bottles “over the fence” @ ErectorBot studio.
These will then be sterilized and processed in a safe manner. Along with the need of “bread” bags to create sterile kits.
We will have units available within a few days after an assembly process has begun. We will be sending out “plastics ” to self build as well as assembled units for the elderly if needed.
Current ErectorBot owners and other 3d printer owners with a large enough format may download these files here and off of our site shortly. I advise that to those that are able to make use of their larger formats to engage with your local community to assist with this process in a similar fashion. Above all this needs to be done in accordance with local and federal guidelines and stay put orders. So be safe when doing so.
Plastics for these machines may still be purchased from “push plastic” I would advise to purchase 1 roll per extruder. and to mount up as many extruders as your size / format will allow. Now deploy those bots folks….
Good luck and god bless.
