Thanks @Rachel_Park

It seems it was discussed in the Maker G+ community, but not here yet.

I think it’s a fascinating concept - look forward to hearing some of your thoughts on it though and whether you could/would try something like this!

I think the concept is great, not sure how far the web-site is, it seems just started - but the idea of distributed production is interesting. I saw some 3d printer builders&sellers pondering on distributed 3d printing for their customers, who bought 3d printers at some discount, to become part of the production of the 3d printer builder, at least for a certain amount of items printed.
