1. Keep it Relevant & Organized
Post your threads in the correct categories (e.g., technical issues in Troubleshooting, project photos in Showcase).
Use descriptive titles. Instead of “Help!!”, use “Bed Adhesion Issues with PETG on Ender 3.” This helps others find your solution via search.
2. Respect the Intellectual Property of Others
Only share STL files or designs that you have the right to distribute.
Credit the original designers when showcasing a project you didn’t design yourself.
3. Quality Over Quantity
Avoid spamming or excessive self-promotion.
Helpful links to resources are encouraged, but please ensure they provide genuine value to the discussion.
4. Be the “Support Squad”
We are a community of makers helping makers. Maintain a polite, constructive tone—especially when giving feedback on someone’s “work in progress.”
5. Safety First
Do not share personal sensitive information.
Always follow safety protocols when discussing 3D printing hardware modifications or electrical work.
When you post these rules, use Schema Markup (specifically FAQPage or CreativeWork) in the backend. This can help your forum rules or “How-To” posts appear as rich snippets in Google, increasing your visibility to new makers searching for a community.
