Agreed Exclusive RC

They are releasing new materials every week seems like. Even soon to be released 3D FDM carbon/glass fiber printers that print plastic then inlay the fiber into it, all aided by the software and controllable to the point of specific layers/areas receiving inlay. What you see for the most part today is just the tip of a new 3D revolution that's going to happen over the next few years. So much cool stuff ahead....

Joe (lilgiants) has one. He's in Canada but shouldn't matter.

A little over a year ago I was going to try and order a kit, however, after talking to frank, he said he couldn't sell to the US because of some liability issues. Not sure if that has changed since then. Frank is a great guy to deal with, you might shoot him an e-mail to see if anything has changed on his end.

[ihbuilder]

Why would there be a liability issue ?

[headers]

When I dealt with Frank he told me that vario had the rights to sell to the U.S so he had to go thru vario to sell me some stuff at a fee ofcoarse.

[Rimrock]

Would for sure now what this 'liability issue' are, if someone can explain more. It's mechanical parts, is there any special issues regarding selling such into the US?

[headers]

He didn't tell me liability issues from what I understood is that vario has the distribution rights and he didn't and seeing that he does business with vario maybe it's not worth the trouble for paperwork or whatever he needed.
I know years ago ric (gardentrucking) told me he was the distributor for wedico for this part of the world so I guess vario is the same
