@andypiper that's the plan! 😬

Very interested to see MyMiniFactory's Soulcrafted Slicer announcement; a fully open source resin slicer escaping from vendor lock in. This is the way. We'll definitely be looking at supporting this somehow!

RE: https://3dp.chat/@manyfold/115508277423769633
@DoctorSpork do you know of anyone out there who might be up for this? Or of course yourself (though I don't *think* you do models via subscription, just straight sales?).
RE: https://3dp.chat/@manyfold/115508277423769633
@kalos do you know of any sculptors on the Fediverse who we could ping about this?
We'd very much like to talk to someone who uses something like Patreon subscriptions for working on 3d models for subscribers. We want to be able to support your workflow, and would love to learn from you about what you need.
Boost for reach, or intros to anyone that might be interested in […]

@FritzAdalis @Floppy yeah, don't want to complicate things, just need to have text with it sometimes.
I've been reminded again this morning that it really helps if your graphical logo has a word on it. So, I need to choose a nice creative commons font for @manyfold - I'm thinking it should be all lowercase and smoothly curvy, like a line of extruded filament. Anyone have any suggestions?
We're honoured to have been shortlisted for the 6th annual OpenUK Awards!
And of course, congratulations to *all* the amazing shortlisted entries!

We've just released a bugfix for v0.127.0, so as @Alephcat suggested, we just *had* to call it v0.127.0.0.1... hopefully this doesn't break anything 🤪

Ooh, now I'm wondering about doing a stand at FOSDEM for @manyfold, and who I could share it with (a whole one just for me would be excessive)
