I'm looking for European cofounders or partners that would like to be part of a startup involved in one or more of the following:
Making a commercial version RepRap machine and selling it. There are numerous ideas and designs floating around for bootstrapped 3D printers, begging for a company to put them together in a nice retail package.
Running a coworking office for startups and freelancers.
Running a hackerspace with lots of cool tools such as 3D printers, open to both paid members and the public.
Running a small fab-lab for on-demand rapid prototyping and fabrication services.

I'm still at the research phase, so I don't have much existing work to show you. I've started wikifying some of my research notes which you can find here: http://punkmanufacturing.com/ . I've also found two plastics companies that might be interested in supplying base printing materials for us to resell. There is also the possibility of developing new printing materials or tweaking existing ones.
I'm looking for someone who is passionate about any of the above subjects. Qualifications, background, etc don't matter as long as you have some skills applicable to this hypothetical startup. You must be able to work in the EU, so European citizens preferred. Personally, I'm willing, and able, to relocated almost anywhere in the EU to work on this.
