Building @TinkerAtlas — a social platform for the maker & 3D printing community. Share your prints, find makers near you.

So I'm writing a book series. With 3D Printing in it.
Some of you know me as... https://t.co/YZifjDblxI #TinkerAtlas via @TinkerAtlas #sciencefiction #3dprinting

Do you like sci-fi and fantasy? There's a bunch of free books here: https://t.co/B1uOkyBFRl

Three things if you've got bandwidth:
→ Use the platform. Post something. → Tell one maker who'd belong here. → If you can chip in, chip in.

Servers safe. Dev paused. Plans in motion. No panic.

Previous funding period closed. Here's the honest picture.
Servers are covered. TinkerAtlas stays online, stays fast.
The devtools half came up short, which means active dev is paused until that gets sorted.

Together: TinkerAtlas becomes a proper hub for maker streamers, not just a place to post finished prints.
Both ship when devtools funding comes back.

To be clear, I’m looking for model designers who are attending 3D Print Lyon in France, as the Snapmaker Project Manager in charge of the new model repo wants to do interviews and research.

Not looking to commission anything, sorry.

Funding period closed at 44%. Genuinely, thank you to everyone who showed up — getting from 13% to 44% in two weeks wasn't nothing.
Servers covered. Dev tools $188 short, which pauses development until I figure out next steps.
Late contributions still count if anyone's inclined.

@Sovol3d I think 300 cubed. Looks interesting!

Hit RUN DRAW and watch your extruder pick a winner.
The final $188 of this funding period is what finishes the rest of the tool + much more. If you stream and want to beta test, DM me.

@MakerViking @TinkerAtlas extrudes the winner might be the best 3D printing pun I've seen all week

[GigaCrafter @giga3dtech]

@MakerViking We went ahead and chipped in. Yeah, 'sustainability' might have been underselling it. Fingers crossed you cover both.

[MakerViking @MakerViking]

Final day. 44%, $188 to go.
Servers are covered — TinkerAtlas stays online next cycle. Genuinely, thank you to everyone who made that happen.
What's left funds dev tools: finishing MakerDraw, then the streaming calendar.
Whatever you decide, thank you for being here.

1/Update on the TinkerAtlas funding situation, and I need to correct something from last week.
Two days left in the period. We're at 23%.
$57 short of covering the servers. $257 short of covering dev tools too.
Last week I framed this as a sustainability problem. It's more immediate than that. 🧵

Why not submit to the Snapmaker Model Design Contest :) https://t.co/aqPqWFzNJ9
