Not that I’ve seen. That would make for a good started pack though!
The issue with that is the fact that we already barely have enough users for the existing 3d printing communities.
Splitting it up more will not help but only generate empty communities with barely any content and traffic.
I can understand that sentiment. I think specific communities are important for troubleshooting, information gathering and support.
The thing is: 3D printing problems are often more manufacturer agnostic than you think - especially for new users.Especially for troubleshooting the broader approach is worth it - it's better a new user gets some help and support from someone with a similar setup but different manufacturer but no or no timely support by a small or almost empty community. Sadly Lemmy atm isn't that big.
