Why should I help two bearded goons such as Chris and Taylor line their techno-coffers? </p> <p>Well here's the rub:</p> <ul> <li> You know those beautifully-formatted instructions you may well be pouring over as we speak? We're having them printed into really nice, high-resolution, perfect-bound booklets. If you donate enough, we'll send you one. (We'll post more info as we work through the book-printing process.)</li> <li> We'll use the money to offset the hosting &amp; domain name fees incurred from keeping DIYLILCNC.org online for you.</li> <li>We'll use the money for supplies for future modifications to the DIYLILCNC, or maybe even a whole new project. </li> <li>We may use the money to offset travel expenses if we get invited to present somewhere that can't afford to pay our way.</li> </ul> <p>So think about donating. Even if it's only $5, thats two more feet of Molex cable we can use in our next open-source hardware build.</strike></p> <p>Edit: Due to the vagaries of academia, we've taken the donations function off the site.
