Anything related to 3d printing is welcome. We are not really large enough on Lemmy to justify micro community specialization. If it ever gets to be big enough that it overtakes 3d printing in general, we'll deal with it.

I'm just the janitor here when acting as a mod. I will always tell you when I am acting as a mod, such as in this comment. I am the janitor in that I do not own this community. You own this place as much as any of us. If you're down voted into negative oblivion, I might contact you, otherwise do whatever so long as it isn't commercially motivated in a way that is tiresome or exploitive, or related to firearms, and is inclusive for all. Rules are more like guidelines where the collective community always comes first.

I also have !unfinishedprojects@lemmy.world if you want to post something incomplete or never finished, though that is much smaller and mostly just me and my old junk or whatever functional print design I am working on. Anything is welcome there too.

Reddit has got a big 3D animators' community but lemmy seems to be lacking behind.

I'm starting one. Please feel free to join 😊😊😊

Everything here is just starting out and there's no problem with that. I wouldn't call myself an animator. But I have done some animations in the past through blender Etc. And develop some small game assets Etc. Which includes texturing/painting unwrapping Etc. I certainly wouldn't mind some content related more around all that. I know there are a lot of intricacies and techniques even just including blender to make professional looking animations Etc. I don't know if there's enough there to supply a whole community. But there is only one way to find out.

Not that I know of, but feel free to be the change you want to see.
