Maker community for laser, cutting and plotting?

[Madness3D]

Will there be a separate maker community like makerworld for laser, cutting, plotting models similar to makerworld ?

Will makerworld support sharing of these kind of projects?

Or are all on our own and dependent of other sources of sharing models for these projects ?

One of my only reasons going for the whole bundle was due to Bambu Labs great success with makerworld. I really hope to see something similar with these other project types.

There will be a 2D models section on MakerWorld where one can upload .svg/.ai/etc files just like you would with a .stl or a .lac file from BambuSuite just like you would with a .3mf. There will also be an option to add step-by-step tutorials for more craft-oriented projects. There are going to be categories for things like test files, and ways to sort by material/product. E.g. ones for sublimation t-shirts, sublimation tumblers, leather/vinyl/paper/plastic/etc.

Thanks mate, that was exactly the answer I was hoping for

Now we just need to get OnShape to read SVG

Concept of what it could look like:

I’m imagining a Laserbox MakerLab tool as well to create stunning Laserboxes with images, text and more

I feel like it’s kinda obvious, but there will be 2D model contests as well. (Contest for original models in .LAC or .SVG format and printable on a laser cutting printer.)

Hoping they won’t tolerate

• Uploading models with existing images, pictures, patterns or texts, or structures that are copied, not original, not authorized, etc.
• Uploading models with identical, similar, or a series of images, pictures, patterns, texts, or structures but different process type or material.
• Uploading models with images, pictures, patterns or texts, or structures same as existing original 3D models from other creators.

And I made a concept of CyberBrick process too:

This seems oddly specific for a

Looks like they officially released it!
@Zammer3D’s “concept” is absolutely spot on haha

[Deafcat22]

Agreed, it reads DXF/DWG with it’s own viewer, buy not SVG. Put in a ticket to get added to feature request

[Zammer3D]

Looks like they changed it from Laser Cut to Laser & Cut. Wonder if I had anything to do with that

[Madness3D]

Amazing!
Now we need a filter or grouping for tgese models in the search of makerworld and bambu handy.

In addition Bambu Suite should have easy access to view models and projects directly from the desktop app.

[Zammer3D]

It’s a top nav menu, as noted in the screenshots. They added it in the last few hours, not sure why they waited as it was only one feature flag. Not that I would know that

I see it’s already getting flooded with low effort models.

Example 1

He shows it being cut using clear acrylic… which the blue light laser of the H2D can’t cut. You need CO2 or fiber for that. Yes I know you can just use an opaque sheet but I feel like this user just copy/pasted this project from somewhere else.

Example 2

Guy doesn’t even own an H2D and the profile is not configured at all lol.

I guess people will just drop SVG’s and be done with it.
