2019/06/08 | 1,152 | 4,715 | <issue_start>username_0: Our topics page has been sorely lacking for a few years now, and in need of an update, in order to reflect what the site has become, and to take into account what people has been asking for. Note that, the core concept is still the same - 3D Printing. However, the scope has been widened in a nu... |
2019/07/16 | 1,040 | 4,113 | <issue_start>username_0: 3D Printing's [First Pro-Tem moderator election](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/election/1) has come to a close, the votes have been tallied, and the new moderators is:

2019/08/31 | 2,714 | 8,960 | <issue_start>username_0: We should do some tag maintenance, especially regarding printers to make them easier to read. Use an answer to propose a change, merge or split. Discussions for each change should go into the comments of each change.
Some things are easier than others:

2019/09/01 | 2,815 | 9,335 | <issue_start>username_0: Every time I write "Cura" in a question or answer, it gets edited to "Ultimaker Cura", [most recently](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/10940/11157) resulting in awkward verbose repetition that required additional edits to fix. I don't see any justification for requiring use of official v... |
2019/11/20 | 1,172 | 4,808 | <issue_start>username_0: We are currently looking at the scope definition on the Arts & Crafts site. Some 3D subject matter could be on-topic there, and we don't want to steal any thunder from the 3D Printing site. Your "what's on topic" discussion in the Help section covers a lot of subject matter beyond 3D printing p... |
2019/12/08 | 2,376 | 7,892 | <issue_start>username_0: Half a year passed since [Tag Maintenance Summer 2019](https://3dprinting.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/tag-maintenance-summer-2019). A lot was done, some wasn't, so cleanup and rinse and repeat: Let's do some tag maintenance, especially regarding printers to make them easier to read. Us... |
2020/01/04 | 1,747 | 6,550 | <issue_start>username_0: As the question states, should [bed](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bed "show questions tagged 'bed'") and [build-plate](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/build-plate "show questions tagged 'build-plate'") be merged?

2020/04/03 | 204 | 791 | <issue_start>username_0: Several questions are related to first layer calibration or issues: I found 43 of them with "first layer" in the title alone, 150 with "first layer" anywhere (no duplicates).
I propose adding a "first-layer" tag to more easily retrieve said questions.
I already applied it to my latest questio... |
2020/09/13 | 830 | 3,463 | <issue_start>username_0: I've been here for a little while. I am still a low-reputation of SE, with most of my involvement being here. I know that each SE has it's own personality, somewhat derived from the charter, somewhat from the written standards, and somewhat determined by the customary practices in the community... |
2021/01/16 | 538 | 2,156 | <issue_start>username_0: Currently, pure CAD questions are out of scope of our Stack, but we have quite some cases that edge, where the question about the CAD is about how to make a model printable or design principles or such.
Where do we draw the line in the sand? [This was once discussed in 2016, but no conclusive ... |
2021/05/14 | 1,468 | 5,846 | <issue_start>username_0: I've just noticed this Meta post, [Testing three-vote close and reopen on 13 network sites](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/364007/280335) and I wondered whether we should employ it here, and what do other people think?

2021/07/08 | 699 | 2,392 | <issue_start>username_0: Our site has the default Stack Exchange logo (text balloon with text 3D), is it possible to change this logo?

2023/05/12 | 1,136 | 4,335 | <issue_start>username_0: In the last weeks, I have seen about half a dozen answers that do not answer the questions properly and just read *strange*. I ran them through [writer's AI content checker](https://writer.com/ai-content-detector/) and for the worst ones got scores of 19% to 45% Human generated text. [Copyleaks... |
2016/01/12 | 554 | 2,293 | <issue_start>username_0: When I've printed an object I've had to choose between high resolution and quick prints. What techniques or technologies can I use or deploy to speed up my high resolution prints?<issue_comment>username_1: You could experiment with slicing. For example, you might not need high resolution all ov... |
2016/01/12 | 2,502 | 9,840 | <issue_start>username_0: I would like to buy a 3D printer, but I'm concerned about the health risks that are associated with its operation.

2016/01/12 | 644 | 2,629 | <issue_start>username_0: I know the minimum layer height will effect how detailed of an item you can print and the amount of time it takes to print something, but is it necessary to have an extremely low minimum layer height if you plan to print only larger objects?<issue_comment>username_1: As with any manufacturing p... |
2016/01/12 | 1,825 | 7,297 | <issue_start>username_0: Plastic is used in 3D FDM/FFF printing partly because it had a wide temperature range for its glass state - where it can be flowed with some force, but won't flow due only to gravity.
Most metals have a very narrow, or non-existant, glass state. They transition from solid to liquid with almost... |

2016/01/12 | 1,169 | 4,746 | <issue_start>username_0: My MakerBot printer supports only two filaments at the same time.
What are techniques to print objects with more than two colors for one object?<issue_comment>username_1: The most obvious solution is to pause the print and swap filament for another color.
Another option is to [splice pieces o... |
2016/01/12 | 1,083 | 4,217 | <issue_start>username_0: I'd like to print modifications for my bird feeder, both to patch over the hail damage from last summer and to try to deter the neighborhood squirrels. I have an FDM printer (and experience with nylon, ABS, and PLA, though don't restrict answers to those if there's something else that's better)... |
2016/01/12 | 3,206 | 11,054 | <issue_start>username_0: The surfaces of my printed parts using PLA plastic look rough and uneven.
Would changing filament to a better one make any difference?
If not, what kind of methods can I use to achieve a smoother finish for my for 3D-printed objects?<issue_comment>username_1: It is called **Acetone Finishing*... |
2016/01/12 | 645 | 2,772 | <issue_start>username_0: With an ABS or PLA extrusion 3D printer, are there any potentially negative quality differences that could occur if I try to print at a higher resolution?
I am not concerned about print time as the equipment is not under high demand. I am, however, worried the device may be more prone to fract... |
2016/01/12 | 2,066 | 7,175 | <issue_start>username_0: I would like to print parts (e.g. jewellery) for use which I don't want to look or feel like a plastic, but metal-like, so briefly people won't see much difference.
Are there any specific type of home-printers that can achieve that? Or it's rather kind of filament that you should use?<issue_co... |
2016/01/12 | 674 | 2,527 | <issue_start>username_0: I am aware of several "clear" filaments for a ABS or PLA printer. They, however, have a cloudy or frosted glass appearance. I do not believe this is possible to eliminate but I believe it can be reduced.
Are there effective ways to make a print have a more transparent appearance?<issue_comment... |
2016/01/12 | 920 | 3,552 | <issue_start>username_0: My printed parts consist rafts, supports and other extraneous filament when printing with ABS or PLA.
What are efficient general techniques of removing them?<issue_comment>username_1: The best way to get rid of them is to change the design of the printed object to make them unnecessary.

2016/01/12 | 875 | 3,367 | <issue_start>username_0: I would like to understand the differences between rafts, skirts and brims. They appear in the software which I'm using to edit my 3D objects.
Can anybody elaborate what are these and what are the main differences between them?<issue_comment>username_1: All three of these features are used to ... |

I'm in doubt between a MDF cut (cheaper) or acrylic (more expensive), of course a cheaper one is my preferred option until I see any disadvantage on making it of wood.
