@DavidHovis how do you see this category being different than the technical support category? Would there also be technical support in New to XCarve/New to Carvey category?
Would it be possible to integrate a box where you can easaly input project settings like feeds speeds doc bits used. For the made with category’s.
So you could upload pictures with a dedicated location for the settings and then below free text for the project. To make these post look a lot a like on the Organisation side.
Can you mock up what you mean? I don’t think I understand.
I pictured Thingiverse when I read @FoxxFighter’s description.
So, just build your own version of that…can’t be much to it.
Do you mean like this?
I think the projects section is great…it’s separate from the projects section in the forum, though. It’s gotta be tough to steer people to submit their projects. I see a lot on the forum that someone going to Projects | Inventables would miss.
Why do you think that is?
I hope I can qualify.
somthing like a tamplet the automaticlie opens when you create a new thread in this categorys.
super quick mockup made in an other “forum” :
Every machine is different, sharing feedrates can be dangerous.
Your right. I was just thinking about it because underneath every project someone is asking about the settings and to implement it right in the op seemed handy
yeah i know. At least it should have a disclaimer and maybe a link to the wiki with good base feedrates for unmodified machines
Very true but for all of us, we had to experiment a bit to find the “sweet spot” for our individual machine.
Perhaps a disclaimer in big red flashing letters stating that feeds and speeds are suggested as a starting point only and one should be cautious in using them and adapt them to fit each individuals situation, or something along those lines.
It would be sweet if we would have a place under our profiles to discribe our machines (what is stock what mods do we have)
hi, what’s the definition of ‘regulars’?
@AA1 good question. I’m not sure that is a useful distinction. I was trying to prevent spam and projects that aren’t complete or projects that aren’t appropriate.
What if we had a person or a team of people that did some sort of review and clicked “approve” to make sure the quality was good?
@BillBlades great idea…I love it. I added that category to the top.
@aa1 I adjusted the language to eliminate the need for regulars.
