In the sewing section, we would like equipment that allows us to insert grommets into clothing. Grommets are small metal rings that can be used for different types of garment construction, such as lacing. Please make our wishes come true! *cute emoji*

We have discussed among the sewing team. We really think we should replace the existing donated sewing machines which keep failing by buying at least three reliable new sewing machines. We have all worked with Necchi's during the Threads and Needles program and are very familiar with them. Catherine can obtain them locally at a discounted price. We think they are sound sewing machines that have all metal parts and therefore do not break easily, like the Kenmore. We think this is important considering the frequency of use.
It would make finishing all the great metal parts we are creating in the machine shop better and easier.
It makes different consistent finishes by rounding sharp edges, removing burrs, and other small details like that

The AFP-512 has a LOT of issues, from the extruder frequently clogging, the bed being impossible to level due to warping, and the electrical connectors on the hotend degrading. The design of the bed leveling is also poor, only having three knobs instead of four (by design), each of which changes the tilt of the bed along multiple axes, making it very difficult to get the whole print surface level. This has led to this printer being down more than up.
