3D printing
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
3D printing is the construction of a physical three dimensional object from a digital model using a computer controlled printer. In the context of the Indieweb, this usually refers to posting about 3d printing on your website.
Indieweb Examples
David Shanske
As of 2021-04-01, having recently acquired a 3d printer, David Shanske is working on adding a section to his website to organize posts about the things he has built.
Aaron Parecki
As of 2021-01-08, Aaron Parecki has posted downloadable STL files with a description of the project on his website:
As of 2022-09-29, Aaron Parecki has posted a "make" of someone else's design from Thingiverse
- Canonical version: https://aaronparecki.com/2022/09/29/13/dji-mini-2-case

Brainstorming
So far, a general prototype for a post about a 3d printed object consists of a photo and a description, often linking to our incorporating the elements of the pages on Thingiverse.
This may include details such as:
- The printer that constructed it
- The type of material/filament used
- Customizations
- The file used to generate the print.
- Source files used to make the printable part, such as design files for use with 3D modeling software.
