NY, NY but package came from Queens.
If we get a machine at JGR I don't think I can use for personal projects... unless I can become the operator or buy a few beers for the guy that is!
I might eventually set up a shop on Shapeways but probably lean towards full scale restoration parts (like my fog covers) and designer/modeller for hire work, I'll leave Zs for Ed. I see a big market opening up here though for really cool stuff!

Thanks! What Chad said led me to believe they were non-US. Shoulda known better
Reading about Shapeways now. Agree with PC about the potential market and have to congradulate Ed on being the first (as least state-side).

PM is fine, I can't think of everything all myself!
As long as you realize that I'm not into paying royalties, dividends or stock options in UID in exchange for ideas! I got into a real sticky conversation about this with a few other designers... the day I have to get a lawyer is the day I close shop!
Best I can do, if it's a completely original idea, is offer my trigger time at the design station and try to get a free part off to the idea provider.
I have thought of all kinds of stuff, have all kinds of oddball hairbrained schemes jotted down, it just takes time to get them all built! I've already refused to even look at two others ideas only because I don't want to compromise some projects I'm planning so please be vague in your description at first.
Paranoid... Me?... Nahhh!
Oh, and all of my parts have come from NY so you'll be supporting American jobs!
America... F#<* Yeah!!!
So bada$$ we can make war machines outta BEER!
And do it for under $18!!!
(it's late... I should really get to bed!)

Didn't mean to challenge you, but... AWESOME!
I would like a chance to make my idea a little less vague! I'll PM you my number and maybe we can talk.

Ok!
The design is the easy part, time is the challenge for me.
Currently on the verge of releasing another project, that comes first!

Received my wings... awesome Ed, nice job! They look cool, light and the material is tough, resilient and has good memory. It is stiff enough to provide downforce (I assume without seeing your tunnel or sim data) yet seems like it would be quite forgiving in a crash. Cool stuff!

Can't wait to see them in person next weekend.
I have a small request. I hate mounting wings to cars as I never drill the holes straight on the body. Anyway of making some type of jig the wing could fit into to set position then remove and have a guide to drill holes in correct spot

with printing methods, it could be easy to model a finger held screw pattern jig. i would imagine it would be very cheap and only really need to be purchased once. good idea though god knows i've missed on a few myself over the years.
