How it works
Each request has a clear owner, status, and conversation, so everyone knows what happens next.
Non-profits post jobs
Describe the part, upload or link the model, and add quantity, material, color, location, and deadline.
Volunteers claim them
Printer owners find a suitable request, claim it, and use the private job conversation to arrange the details.
Parts get made
Both sides follow progress from claimed to printing and completed, with the organization confirming the finish.
Built for responsible collaboration
Enough structure to make helping feel easy.
PrintTime keeps expectations visible and gives both sides a shared record of the work.
