Supply visors in Africa

[drakard]

@plastictactics how much would 100 sets of DoES visor frames and bands cost please?

[plastictactics]

Hi, this question has surprised me a bit so please bear with. We haven't been selling them - just providing a cutting service for this project. Have you mistaken me for the sales role of this project, or are you looking for a separate quote?

[drakard]

Hi @plastictactics most of the laser cut visor frames are dirty and need cleaning, but I noticed some came clean from being cut. I spoke to some people and they thought the clean ones came from you. I would like to start looking into supplying some visors to Africa with some of my friends from Africa so I was hoping to buy 100 sets from your company as a sample.

@drakard presumably you'll want the clear plastic parts too? Maybe (given our order book is slimming down now - anyone who knows someone who wants visors should definitely request some) stick a "request visors" submission to visors.doesliverpool.com with a note that you'd like @plastictactics frames, and then we can include it in the rest of the system easily.

[drakard]

@amcewen thank you, that is super kind. I have put a request in for 100 in the form.

[drakard]

Ah I didn't mention @plastictactics :/

[drakard]

In addition to the 100 DoES design visors I discussed, I am also sending 100 injection moulded Prusa visors. These need to be provided with laser cut bands. @plastictactics , would I be able to also purchase each of the attached part designs from you? I would need 100 of each type for the sample.

@plastictactics do you have any idea if you would be able to make those bands?

[plastictactics]

I have them in stock - call me to arrange collection

@plastictactics The parts in this zip file are the "bands" to replace elastic on a Prusa type visor, which you can see in #98

[drakard]

The cost of commercial laser cutting with @plastictactics is too great relative to the unit cost of the other parts unfortunately. I will look for other options.

[drakard]

@JackiePease I think you mentioned to me someone who had been mass producing die cut parts? Would you be able to give me their contact details?

[JackiePease]

Contact details provided to @drakard

Thank you Jackie!

I haven't been able to find a supplier to provide the bands for the Prusa type at a price I can afford. I would like to avoid elastic if at all possible. I know the laser cutter is already in great need at the moment, but would it be possible for me to cut 100 sets on it? That would allow me to finish the 100 sample Prusa visors I have already. They are small that should be only 1 or 2 sheets. I'd be super happy to come in at a time when there aren't any volunteers running it. If that is possible, could you please let me know what that would cost? I looked here https://doesliverpool.com/services/ but I wasn't sure. Would that be the workshop cost?

[drakard]

My band designs fit on the offcuts from the main visor manufacture, so I'd be happy to buy those instead of full sheets.

Workshop charge is £6 per half day, plus £2 surcharge to use Gerald.

@JackiePease Thank you. I don't see anyone volunteering on the laser cutter tomorrow morning so I will come in then (I booked). I can also do some cutting once I'm finished : ) . Is it ok for me to use/buy the polypropylene offcuts?

[JackiePease]

No problem with you using some of the offcuts

The visors have been sent to Nigeria for testing. Thank you for the help with this.
