I don't see how it has anything to do with skullspace as an organization; This $1000 that has been raised was above-and-beyond collected dues and other "direct-to-skullspace" donations. This $1000 was pooled together from individuals who want to buy a 3D printer and provide it to skullspace; What they choose do do with their own $1000 is 100% up to them. Skullspace's financial situation or, well, really the desires of anyone other than someone with $ in the pot of that $1000 isn't entitled to a vote on it's use.
