2016/01/12 | 593 | 2,332 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been wanting to learn about 3D printing a long time so I really want this site to succeed but I have no previous experience with the subject.
I was wondering how can I help the site at this early stage. I thought about asking about how to get started with 3D printing but SE explicitly ... |
2016/01/12 | 504 | 2,353 | <issue_start>username_0: There are many different printing technologies. While it might be clear to the asker that he's talking about his home 3D printing machine, that's not necessarily the case for those that try to answer the question.
I think it would help to specify the scope of questions with tags, to allow futu... |
2016/01/12 | 530 | 1,883 | <issue_start>username_0: Stack exchange isn't a good platform for product recommendations in general, but a few sites allow it with a tight focus and control. Some that have allowed it in the past have decided to discontinue it for a variety of reasons.
I expect at the start we are going to get a lot of "What specific... |

2016/01/12 | 2,961 | 10,700 | <issue_start>username_0: Given our successful private beta, soon after we go public it will be time for us to get our first crop of moderators, as explained in the [“Moderator Pro Tempore” blog post](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/moderator-pro-tempore/):

2016/01/12 | 486 | 1,803 | <issue_start>username_0: Are there plans or ideas floating around for a logo contest, or is that a Public-Beta stage thing?<issue_comment>username_1: Getting a logo is part of getting a design, which is something that happens when a site *graduates* out of public beta.
In short, not for a long time yet.
While the sit... |
2016/01/12 | 774 | 3,372 | <issue_start>username_0: Is it realistic or thought neccesary to develop a plugin/feature for this site, to automatically add a small info-box about a thingiverse link? An example of this is Apple's 3D touch technology. In theory, the plugin could recogize thingiverse links in questions and answers, replace the link wi... |
2016/01/12 | 1,171 | 4,630 | <issue_start>username_0: It is very easy to ask questions that only tangentially involve 3D printing, such as:
* How do I drill a hole in a 3D printed part?
* How do I paint 3D printed parts?
* How do I sand, smooth, etc...?
* How do I take a picture with a 3D printed camera?
My last example is clearly not on topic, ... |
2016/01/13 | 1,046 | 4,426 | <issue_start>username_0: This has inspired some discussion and I may be just splitting hairs, but I've always been confused by this strategy. The specific example I'm referring to is here: <https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/29/60>
In many cases on SE, I see people post "Answers" that basically say "Don't do what ... |
2016/01/13 | 2,559 | 8,880 | <issue_start>username_0: **A big shout out to all of us for a successful graduation into private beta.
Let's make it a success now, and make sure we graduate into a full-fledged site.
So, this is one post which every user of a private beta site should read and act accordingly.**
This is a reproduction of a moderator... |
2016/01/13 | 984 | 4,019 | <issue_start>username_0: This site may attract questions such as
* Is it legal to sell 3D printed objects from a model repository?
* Are 3D printed guns legal in my jurisdiction?
* If my custom-built printer sets my house on fire, does the insurance cover it?
Are such questions allowed on this site, or should they be... |
2016/01/13 | 135 | 548 | <issue_start>username_0: What would be a good tag to use for doing business/making profit with a 3D printer?<issue_comment>username_1: I'd suggest two different tags:
* [monetization]: For selling, or profiting from printing, or from printing machines
* [financing] (or [costs]): For calculating the cost of materials a... |
2016/01/13 | 310 | 1,149 | <issue_start>username_0: I believe this question is asked on every private Beta... what should be the name of our chatroom?<issue_comment>username_1: **The Hotbed.**
Colloquially, "hotbed" generally refers to a center of activity. Here, it will have a double meaning (referencing the hot bed of a 3D printer.

2016/01/15 | 914 | 3,231 | <issue_start>username_0: We currently have quite a few tags about filament:

2016/01/20 | 624 | 2,647 | <issue_start>username_0: The questions so far are pretty strongly geared towards hobbyist/consumer FFF machines. That's not necessarily bad, since that's where most legit questions will come from. (Not much reason to ask questions about a plug-and-play industrial machine.) But it's a pretty important scope distinction.... |
2016/01/24 | 864 | 2,864 | <issue_start>username_0: We have only had activity on 3 questions in the past 2 days. It is recommended that we get 10 new questions per day. This is far below these goals.
What can we do to get more questions?<issue_comment>username_1: I wouldn't worry too much about it.
We're still currently in the private beta st... |
2016/01/24 | 1,059 | 3,529 | <issue_start>username_0: When 3D Printing moves into public beta, you're going to want to get the word out. And fast! One of the best ways to advertise ourselves across the entire Stack Exchange network is through community ads.
### So what are these "Community Ads?"
Graduated sites allow the community to advertise ... |

2016/01/28 | 491 | 1,932 | <issue_start>username_0: As you may or may not know, this is the third iteration of a proposal site that covers 3D Printing. The first 2 made it to the beta phase, but did not graduate from the beta successfully:

2016/01/29 | 723 | 2,881 | <issue_start>username_0: I feel like questions along the lines of, "my printer is crashing for no obvious reason, what should I do?" may be too broad and open-ended for this format. It's better handled by a forum where people can have running discussions to rule out a series of tests. What do you guys think?<issue_comm... |

2016/03/17 | 1,448 | 6,128 | <issue_start>username_0: I've been seeing feedback from people in other 3DP communities that they think this stack exchange site is driving away new users by holding newbie questions to an excessively high standard for quality. On one hand, we all know SE works best with clear and logical questions that lead to clear a... |
2016/03/26 | 852 | 3,161 | <issue_start>username_0: I just noticed that there is a large amount of tag wiki excerpts edits in the review queue, all of which are of the form:

A tag wiki excerpt should define what a term means *to our community* specifically and give *usage advice*. In particular, Stack E... |
2016/03/29 | 987 | 3,871 | <issue_start>username_0: I see there was already a meta question regarding this but it was back during the private beta.

2016/05/03 | 1,758 | 7,070 | <issue_start>username_0: The amount of posts being voted to closed is getting ridiculous. The last two posts have been printing related, one looking for information and the other a design question for 3D printing yet both have been voted to be closed.
Yes, I have read the other Meta post about how closing is not perm... |
2016/05/03 | 1,696 | 6,837 | <issue_start>username_0: There has been a lot of questions and confusion about what is acceptable here on 3D Printing SE. Let's go ahead and discuss what types of questions should be acceptable on the site.
We're going to do this based on votes. I'll leave it up to debate in the comments below, but we'll emulate Area5... |
2016/05/03 | 612 | 2,608 | <issue_start>username_0: Context: I have absolutely no knowledge of 3D printing other than you need a computer, a printer, some software, and a design. That is literally the extent of my knowledge on 3D printing.
However, I have an idea of something I'd like to have 3D printed. While the idea has a fairly reasonably d... |
2016/05/06 | 519 | 2,111 | <issue_start>username_0: We have [a recent question](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/1117/alternative-3d-molding-techniques-at-home) that brings up the question of "*Should we support general hobbyist questions?*"

2016/05/10 | 796 | 3,247 | <issue_start>username_0: Are there any official naming conventions for tag names on Stack Exchange? And if not, how should tags be named?

2016/06/02 | 1,252 | 5,009 | <issue_start>username_0: It's pretty manageable right now due to the low question rate, but I think maybe ~3% of all questions this site will get, forever, will be "what's the best printer" or "what printer should I buy" type questions. They're mostly coming from people who don't know enough about 3DP to articulate the... |
2016/07/05 | 743 | 2,973 | <issue_start>username_0: [This question](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/244366/how-do-i-tell-if-my-thermistors-are-10k-or-100k) was migrated to electronics.SE. To me the migration makes no sense:

2016/07/07 | 1,084 | 4,660 | <issue_start>username_0: I originally posted this on Meta StackExchange to judge whether my thoughts fit within SE and have been redirected back to our Meta.
We've received a few questions along the lines of purchasing references since we've opened in Beta. While I personally don't think direct questions about "*What ... |
2016/08/11 | 764 | 2,956 | <issue_start>username_0: Following this [issue](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/2617/decent-cnc-control-software-for-osx) I would like to propose to allow general CNC related questions here as well. 3D Printers are CNC machines, they only add instead of subtract. 3D printers use G-Code, just like CNC mil... |
2016/11/15 | 509 | 1,784 | <issue_start>username_0: I noticed that the most popular tag (82 questions tagged) is [3d-printer](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/3d-printer), and that we also have a [3d-printing](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/3d-printing) tag (23 questions). These seem extremely redundan... |
2016/12/05 | 1,074 | 4,236 | <issue_start>username_0: In past few months, there are a devastatingly few number of users that cast up votes, and many of users aren't coming back to site, and existing users don't have so much reputation, because no one is voting up great questions / answers.
So... let me start like this..

2016/12/05 | 1,397 | 5,265 | <issue_start>username_0: I'd like to talk about site building a little bit.

2017/03/19 | 343 | 1,452 | <issue_start>username_0: I know that here at SE I cant ask recommendation of products and so. I have a printer that I wanna buy and I want to know if it's good.

2017/05/10 | 696 | 2,553 | <issue_start>username_0: This question may require migration to Meta.SE, as it could be a site-wide "bug", but I thought that I would test the waters here, to see if there is an obvious explanation.
I noticed that a question of mine had been modified, on April 16, by "<NAME>" in the [unanswered questions list](https:/... |
