Show HN: My problem, my side project, 3D printing + co-ownership + DIY groups

Hi friends from HN!

I'm launching http://thinkklip.com : 3D printing + co-ownership + DIY groups

I'm really excited with 3D printing and the DIY movement but 3D printers aren't cheap and I don't need a 3D printer 100% the time, I just need to access a good 3D printer one day a week!. I think Shapeways and other providers are expensive too for a regular use and I can't find where to rent 3D printers.

On the other hand it is difficult for me to find other "Makers" near me, concretely I would like to find people interested in toy prototyping . So I started Thinkklip, a side project I think it could became something interesting or even big.

What is Thinkklip?: let's solve two problems at once:

1. best 3D printers are expensive,

2. many Makers want to join DIY groups

...and let’s see what happens...

I'd appreciate any feedback, comments, thoughts:

Thanks!
