Doranwenyeah, that's my thoughts exactly
-
Doranwenand the way they put it, it's not a temporary halt but a permanent one
-
Doranwenwhich is really sad
-
Doranwenlike, where can anyone get an affordable scanner now?
-
Doranwennot everyone can read plans and build something (I know *I* can't)
-
DoranwenI'm quite sure I can learn how to use whatever software is necessary for post-processing
-
Doranwenbut actually building it?
-
Doranwendoing it from a kit, I would try
-
Doranwenbut trying to use the open plans to source parts and all that… yeah, that's not something I can do
-
atphoenixper the saved pages in WBM, it was temporary, and then it was inquire, now there is no shopify store at all. Did you see an actual 'we are dead' message?
-
Doranwenno, they emailed me in reply to my inquiry about the store with "We have shut down operations permanently because of the pandemic. I need to clean up old links to the shop."
-
Doranwenand suggested taking a look at the open plans
-
Doranwenwhich are way over my skill level
-
atphoenixoof. web.archive.org/web/20201101112927/…//store.diybookscanner.org/password said "We have shut down operations due to the pandemic" (which leaves a little wiggle room for return), but older versions of store.diybookscanner.org were showing a temorary message.
-
atphoenixe.g. "We are temporarily suspending shipments of new kits during the global pandemic.

atphoenixI guess IA has something called the TTscribe. archive.org/details/ttscribeflyer archive.org/details/tabletopscribesystem
-
atphoenixDoranwen, it is based on the Archivist, but starts at $13k, so it is really too bad the Tenrec kit is no longer available. archive.org/details/tabletopscribecosting

atphoenixMaybe someone at a local maker center could help with CNCing the parts, assuming there is one near you that is actually open.
-
Doranwenyeah, I don't know if there's a local maker center around here, period
-
Doranwenwe only moved here a couple months ago, and I haven't seen much of the town (and with the 'net as it is, I haven't done much looking at maps or lists of businesses or anything)

LeighRSo has anyone started looking into GiveSendGo?
