Rough Draft

Existing 3D Printing Wikis

_I'm going to start out with a rough draft, linking existing highly excellent existing Noisebridge wiki pages that already exist. I was actually pretty surprised at how extensive and friendly some of the 3D printing pages were--the only thing is they just aren't all consolidated in one place -- Romyilano

• Makerbot - really one of the friendliest! I'm not sure what's going on because the last update from May 2013 says that the Makerbot is no longer working but we have seen people use it.

Other

Good Patterns

• Getting beginners up and running
• Explaining really dumb and obvious things like "how to turn on the printer" - for some reason a lot of smart 3D printing companies do not feel it's important to do this. =D
• Updating the equipment list so that even beginners can figure out what is going on

Anti-Patterns

• Too much discussion of private funding / someone's private or non profit 3D printing project business
• Endless videos of neat 3D printing projects by the military, governmental organizations, multibillion dollar corporations
