One of the things that brought 3d printing to my attention were the stories of printing limbs for people and even animals in need. I'm wondering if there's a site where we can offer our machines for use in helping out.

In looking over the e-NABLE site, I found it interesting that they say they have more people signed up offering to print than they have requests for hands - meaning that a printing volunteer may sign up and not be matched to a recipient for some time. There are other ways to contribute to the community as well. Keep an eye out for another Hands Across Borders event.

I will definitely keep that in mind. You've at least given me a place to start!
