3D Printing Forum *NEW*

Yes thanks to Alan, OGR and Dennis for making it possible.

...and RAY!!!!  For Super Duper Kick Starting the Repository.  THANK YOU!

I look forward to to being a regular visitor to this forum.  Would the repository of .stl files be moved here or will there be another location for it?

Great

Dennis

With all the resources here maybe this should be a "members only" section of the forum?  Since you are spear heading this I thought I'd ask.  Looks like a cool thing to do regardless.  I appreciate the time and work that goes into this.  I may have to invest in a printer now.  Maybe there should be a section on hardware that folks use as well.

Thanks for putting this together!

Thank you Marty!

Yes, we are attempting to lower the entry barrier to 3D printing.  My personal interest is in parts that are *unavailable* *anywhere*... I have 7 or 8 parts that I have been looking for, for years ... and, absolutely can not obtain.

It's a pretty small group of us here... but, we are sure getting an awful lot of downloads of the Catalog and Files.  OGR is the only place where you can gain access to the Repository (yes, you could copy the link... but its not permanent yet) <- I'll get to that at some point soon to lock it down within OGR...

Thanks again Marty!

Update: 10/26 2:00pm... Catalog updated *61 Print Ready Items* are now available...

I recommend having a stickie thread in this forum with the first post having all the access information for the repository.  It took trolling around to find the access link, that should be readily available.

Good idea.

I'm with you guys... I'll go ahead and ask for the sticky ...was trying to go at this a little slow and not ask for to much out of the box.  I had read a post from 2014 concerning this and the mods were a little uneasy about it at that time... perhaps, things have changed a bit.  It's been seven years, an eternity in tech land.

A sticky only in this forum shouldn't be an issue for them, I think they'll go for that.  It makes the forum so much more useful.  It might also be useful for it to be locked so only you could maintain it and not have a string of questions on the basic instructions.

Yup... with you again.  I have the code that makes the link so that it cannot be copied (keep it in OGR).  I have it in .js, ccs, and html/5... it's only a few lines but, that's probably a little to much for now.   There are a bunch of options that will probably develop as we get this a little further along.

Thanks John... you are always there
