An ambitious group of cosplayers, artists and designers who would like your help to launch a 3D Printing business called “CosPrint.”
We envision custom dice, miniatures, custom and other nerdy paraphernalia; architectural models, car parts, fashion pieces, toys, and most importantly to us, custom armor and accessories.
WHAT WE WANT:
We want to offer competitively priced, 3D printed products that are sturdy enough to LARP with, yet comfortable enough to wear all day at conventions. Not only will these costumes be custom fitted to our fellow cosplayers, but custom designed by them as well. Our goal is to focus on the cosplay community that we ourselves love and are a part of. We will exist to help the everyday cosplayer who may not have the time, the expertise; or perhaps the money, to make their own costumes the way they would like.
Our vision and ideas are forward thinking and the business is going to operate constantly with the cosplay, and world communities, in mind. That being said we would seek the new "B Corporation" Certification as soon as possible.
We have all seen just how imaginative and innovative the human spirit can become through sites like Indiegogo and Etsy; they permit the everyday individual to tap into and follow their passion. We are hoping to continue that trend of empowerment by utilizing the company's 3D printer capabilities to drive another such forward thinking idea:
An online marketplace powered completely by your ambition; and your creations. A place where Artists, Designers, Enthusiasts and Creators of all types can market their talent, sell their armor pieces, accessories, or other ideas, even do commission work; all without having to hassle with a 3D printer, or go through shipping the product themselves. Each time you buy an item from an artist on the marketplace, you will be supporting that individual person and their trade.
To honor our community focus from the start, for every person that contributes to our campaign we are going to donate $1 to "The D20 Girls Project:"
"A non-profit organization that combats the negative portrayal of women in geek culture by empowering women who identify as fans of various nerd industries. The D20 Girls Project is committed to creating opportunities for women and strengthening the nerd community."
$35,000 allows us to purchase the large format 3D printer (2’ x 2’ x 2’) which will handle the different armor type pieces and the two ‘desktop’ 3D printers that will handle smaller items and accessories. This will allow the larger printer the most time at maximum efficiency so we can get your products completed as quickly and accurately as possible.
It also includes a years worth of webhosting and allows for the development of the marketplace to begin immediately; meaning you will be showcasing your own ideas and creations sooner.
Your generous contributions will also go toward helping us setup booths at major conventions throughout the year and with the purchase of two different scanners. One will allow us to achieve highly detailed scans with objects of nearly any scale, extending the amount of ways artists can send us their creations; the other will allow us to make and save an accurate scan of your body dimensions while at the conventions for use in your ordering process and any future custom work you may order.
If you can not donate but want to help spread the word we will have a reward for the top 2 people that refer us through Indiegogo the most! Make sure to your the special custom link you'll receive underneath our promo video so Indiegogo can track your referrals!
These perks will be one of a kind and completely different from the regular donation perks.
The referral rewards will be revealed in just a few days.
By donating either your coin, or your time through sharing our campaign, you’ll be helping to bring this company and idea to life and launch a website that could help lift our collective creative potential to new heights while bringing the joy of cosplay to an even wider audience.
