Hm, quite the active chat!

Well, day one of a private beta. I've seen decent activity over the past hour or so, which is good, and some meta participation.

Based on experience, I'd like to recommend one Meta post in particular:

Q: The Real Essential Questions of Every Beta

The blog post Seven Essential Meta Questions of Every Beta gets linked to prominently from every beta's meta. However, this blog post is somewhat inaccurate and misdirects new users. In almost every beta, the site design question, for example, gets asked and undergoes a fair bit of discussion eve...

If you're new to a private beta, this is a good read, rather than the blog post.

I don't have a whole lot of 3D printing experience, but I've been in quite a few private betas, so if anyone has any questions, I'll be around here for a while. Feel free to ping me!

Best of luck to 3D Printing Stack Exchange!

I modified the feeds. Meta questions will be posted as normal answers; questions on main will appear in a ticker.

I think it worked.

@HDE226868 I hope I wasn't too harsh on the acetone question.

HDE 226868

@TomvanderZanden Absolutely not. I was convinced that I was right, but I wasn't. Like I had written in a comment, it's a question about safety. Answers to those must be right; if not - well, maybe someone could get hurt. I'm glad you corrected me.

Might I suggest we delete the comments, to reduce clutter (unless some of yours are still relevant)?

Tom van der Zanden

Sure

HDE 226868

Great.

Evening all.

Like HDE226868, I have almost no experience with 3D printing, but I've been in several and moderate two betas, so I'll be around in chat (and hopefully meta, too) to help this site get on its feet.

HDE 226868

@ArtOfCode Can you check the feeds? They don't seem to be working correctly.
