Mike and Tibs have done a co-op for the Tibs mod parts, I've never run a co-op but this should be small enough for a first co-op. I can't commit right this moment due to uncertainty as far as time to invest in it but am willing to consider the idea if there is interest. I can always use 6 ml bottles but 50 is a little overkill, splitting up multi packs makes sense.

This is a good idea, the group would collectively save on qty discounts & multiple vendor shipping costs, which are pretty high.

If you add the dna & Shapeways parts, there could be a lot more savings if there were enough participation, but you need a long time coop host,as the dollars would be high

I got a request by PM to clarify the printed parts required to build a unit.

Yeah, a co-op with everything would be way over my pay grade.

If enough peeps are interested, I will contact Classwife and see about starting an official interest thread.

Sounds like you are cranking out mods....I would reconsider the prioritization of projects though...;)

1590G vs V3.1

I absolutely agree with you questioning my priority order, but unfortunately I either already have those chips on hand or they are already in the mail. I have to get around to getting another DNA board.

Knew I should have got in on another DNA 30 co-op

An individual co-op is limited to items from 2 vendors so it would be multiple co-ops for all parts.

Didn't know that, thanks for the info. That may actually work in our favor if there is a large demand but would drag out the process unless multiple hosts ran different parts at the same time.

The ALPS switch was on back-order for a while. The fuses were hard to get the last time I looked too.

You're missing bottles, tubing, wire, the drilled screw for the 510, the nut for the 510, the washer for the 510..

I only did the one list so far. I got called into a superfluous conference call then had to do a bunch of busy work. I might be able to add the second list some time later today
