 +**3D Printing/Laser Cutting Requests**\\
 +> Hi,\\
 +> Thank you for contacting us, but we do not offer any services (such as 3D printing or laser cutting). VHS is a member-ran organization and does not have any staff nor volunteers to fulfill requests. But feel free to come down on an open night to check us out, and maybe even sign up as a member - once trained, members have access to our equipment and may 3D print and laser cut on their own! It's fun!\\
 +> If you need commercial services, please feel free to check out the [[http://vanhack.ca/doku.php?id=member_offered_services|Member Offered Services]] section on our Wiki.
