Creative Visionary of Pixel and Plastic

Some things came through pretty clearly in the responses to the last post.

A lot of people, myself included, miss supportive spaces. Forget polished, forget perfect, just supportive spaces.

Places where people were allowed to figure things out.

Tools that once lived behind factory walls now sit on desks, workbenches, and hobby tables. This isn't news.

When something grows this quickly, the tools evolve fast, the audience evolves fast, and the culture around it evolves fast, too. Not always in healthy ways.

@dennisdemeyere Through my own experiments as well, I've come across pit falls that would have stalled a novice. While the code is valid, it doesn't mean it does things exactly how or what you want it to do.

@Randomizy3D All of the platforms have changed drastically in the last several months. It's not you. Too much spam and it breaks the platform to sway numbers that don't mean anything. Copy and post as much as you can that's the general strategy for the last few years. Now it's broke

It's been a minute since I've posted here... How about a course correction? Just at half scale for testing purposes...

@dennisdemeyere @Thangs3D I can't put the words together. There are no words that can express this. My heart is with you and your family. Please know that you are surrounded by love and support, Dan. We love you, and you are a star.

[Dennis DeMeyere @dennisdemeyere]

Many in the 3D community have interacted with Dan, as part of his designer success role at @Thangs3D.

Those who know him, know he is a passionate supporter of makers and designers around the world - and a very kind soul.

Recently, Dan's family was a in a car accident that resulted in the loss of their child, Archer. Fortunately, Dan's wife survived, though he tragically also just lost a parent.

Dan is raising funds, and if folks are interested he would appreciate help getting the word out: https://t.co/PGNgGCjWsI

Some of the money raised will go to special needs charities and organizations, which helped Archer. The rest will go towards supporting Dan's family.
