Is There a HELP WANTED forum?

[Joe Jones]

I am looking for someone who can help me set up and run a brand new CreatBot D600 PRO 3D printer I purchased a couple of years ago, but never put into service! It sits in my shop, wrapped in plastic, mocking me. I want someone with REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE, not someone who will GUESS their way through a shop manual. I am willing to pay someone to help me NOT REGRET my purchase! I live in Franklin, KY. south of Bowling Green and North of Nashville. Compe nsation is negotiable, and it may include cash, or access and use of the D600 printer, (and other printers I have acquired) or both. I am a retired guy with pie-in-the-sky dreams, but real world limitations. I have FIVE 3D printers, and none of them are operational at the moment. I would like to begin with this D600 PRO, and move to the others as my level of knowledge and comfort increases. The person who becomes involved in this adventure will be given access to the printers for their own use, either for personal projects or business use, by agreement. Who is up for the challenge?

12 year old children can do this.. go for it, you can do it as well.

Yes, that is true! A 12-year-old can do this! I did amazing things when I was 12. A 12-year-old does not have memory retention issues. A 12-year-old has vision good enough to read through pages of .PDF files without a pounding headache, while trying to follow 150-steps simple directions. A 12-year-old can squat down to adjust this, and bend over to adjust that, and climb over the cabinet to tighten this, etc. Unfortunately, I am not GUMBY, and despite years of searching, I have not found the Fountain of Youth! I cannot lift a lot of weight, due to back injuries from too many car accidents and motorcycle accidents, only TWO of which were my own fault. I cannot see well. I have RA, (Rheumatoid Arthritis) which limits my physical activity, my dexterity with my hands, my level of physical strength, my ability to bend and move, and the number of hours in any day that I can function without experiencing intense pain. Yes ... I can probably do this on my own. However, I am offering someone a chance to make some money, and the opportunity to USE these machines for their own purposes, simply by helping me to expedite the learning process. Joe

Why not contact your local high school, they probably have a STEM class for Engineering and Robotics, probably can find someone willing to work with you there. Most adults with the knowledge already have printers to use.. Or put an ad in the local paper and hire someone. Unfortunate this forum is based in Europe.. and not very active.
