big long post thanks for bearing with me
a few days ago i reached a $60 goal for funds for a button maker to make custom wiz buttons with. after calling around a bunch of local stores yesterday and looking into online options, it looks like the machines I had initially been looking at are either scams or not worth the money and are going to make shitty buttons that won't last very long.
I was debating getting something cheap but I think in the long run, I would rather ask for some help to buy a good quality machine than buy a cheap one that will make poor quality buttons and need to be replaced soon. buttons and stickers and stuff is something a lot of people have asked for and i'd like to do it right.
I want to be fully transparent about what I am using this money for, and exactly how much an initial batch of materials plus the machine would cost.
Currently looking at this model/kit here, it's consistently the most reccomended machine and one i've used before through a job, so i'm familiar with it and know it works well. the buttons it makes are 1.5 inches (38mm). the $60 i already got will go to this so i'm looking for somewhere between $240 and $300.
i'm not asking for this without offering something in return. I said this on the ko-fi page, but if you contribute to this or you already have, when I start selling them shoot me an email (at [email protected]) with the subject "button donation" or something like that and a receipt/screenshot of your contribution and I'll mail you whichever one you'd like on da house <|:•D These are some of what i plan on making that u can choose from if ya donate. it's only 1/4 or so of the designs so there will be more if none of these speak to you !
if you'd like to help out you can donate on ko-fi here or directly here
you by no means have to donate or feel bad about not donating/not being in a place to. if even a quarter of the people who follow me gave just a dollar I could afford like 8 of these things, so really no huge pressure to donate that much or at all, even if you plan on getting buttons when i start selling them, it's really not necessary unless you have a couple bucks to spare for this.
