People want to help us churn out as many whistles as possible! You can let them by setting up a wish list so they can send you supplies.
Suggested Items
- Filament (duh) - people love to pick different colors, go wild! (Ziro and Eryone fast color changing filaments are some of our favorites)
- Printing supplies - glue, hairspray, etc
- Printing parts - a second build plate can let you start your next run sooner
- Shipping supplies - boxes or mailers, tape, labels
Setting up an Amazon List
- (To hide your real name) Create a new address but using an alias
- Create a new wishlist just for whistle printing
Mark it as “For an Organization”Put an alias or your initials in the “Recipient” field- These don't appear to do anything anymore
- Select your aliased address
- Uncheck “Don't spoil my surprises” if you want to see what has been purchased at any given time
- Make sure your other wish lists are NOT public, or people will be able to get to them from this list
- You may also want to make this “Shared” instead of public
Setting up an Amazon Wedding Registry
Amazon Wedding Registries provide a particular advantage over standard Amazon Wishlists. Amazon Wedding Registries allow you to enable “Group Gift” for high dollar items which allows supporters to contribute partially to an expensive item (such as an additional 3D Printer).
To setup an Amazon Wedding Registry follow these steps:
- Click the yellow Create your registry button in the center of the screen
- Make sure Wedding is chosen under Select an occasion:
- Make sure no personal information is listed under Your name or Partner's name
- Click Continue
- Set a Date, ideally, a few years in the future
- Delete the entry in Guest count (optional)
- Choose an Address that reveals minimal personal information (ie: create an Address that doesn't have your full name listed)
- Leave Allow items to be shipped to my address from all sellers. checked
- Uncheck Allow guests to ship non-registry items to my address.
- Click Continue
- Ensure Shared is selected under Privacy
- Uncheck Send me registry emails
- Click Create
Now you can view items on Amazon and use the Add to Wedding Registry button to add the item to the Wedding Registry.
Note that a Wedding Registry will automatically come populated with a $1,000 Gift Card “Group Buy” Gift. Decide if you want to keep, change, or delete this item.
Once items are in the Wedding Registry you can click EDIT ITEM on a high priced item and and toggle the Group Gift slider. You can also change the Need: quantity, choose to toggle Prioritize as Most Wanted, and/or Add Comments for Your Guests to tell supporters how you will use the item.
Other Platforms
You can also set up a wishlist on another platform, but Amazon does make it especially easy to accept donations from others without exposing your home address.
PM Bree with a link to your wishlist so she can add it to the linktree. If at any point you get low on filament, you can also let her know you need a specific boost!
