3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.

The r/functionalprint community is now located at: or !functionalprint@fedia.io

There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

I recently got a Centauri Carbon and didn't see a dedicated community on the Fediverse so I figured I would make one for anyone who is interested. https://lemmy.world/c/elegoo_centauri_carbon

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.
