Thingiverse and MyMiniFactory community

[Tom Gidden @gid My Robox is a Green Kickstarter Beta Portishead, UK]

Hey,

I’ve fleshed out the “Things” page on Roboxing.com to include a list of Robox users on Thingiverse and MyMiniFactory, along with some Robox accessories available. I’ve added who I know is on there, but it’s not exhaustive.

Please do check out http://roboxing.com/things and add yourself to the list! Also, please do “friend” me and others on Thingiverse! I haven’t really got to grips with My Mini Factory yet.

If I’ve added your name to the page but you don’t want to be on it, please accept my apologies, and do let me know (gid@roboxing.com) or just go in and edit it yourself.

@gid could you start a topic in Chatter with something like Thingiverse vs MyMiniFactory - not that much put them head to head but raise awareness and see if there’s (perceived(*)) difference between them, etc…

(*) yes I do have opinion but I suspect it is wrong and would like to hear from other

And… yes, you missed me on MyMiniFactory: http://www.myminifactory.com/users/clicky

@pelgrim To get some of really nice design out of it. Or to share with the world some of yours.

@clicky : for discussion and comparison, I’ve added to the existing announcement link: http://www.cel-robox.com/forums/topic/myminifactory-partners-with-cel-robox/#post-14075

Looks like you can start threads now too… I’m glad it was a glitch and not a result of being in the dog house 🙂

@gid - no, still can’t. That was ‘other’ me (just followed Pete’s idea to try it from different account).

Hi @smitty : the link is a little difficult to find, admittedly. Register or login using the link on this page http://roboxing.com/start?do=login ; then follow the instructions on http://roboxing.com/user_locations

So is the location map feature indicative of who is out there with a Robox then? I am really surprised how few and I have to say I would have hoped there would have been more activity on these forums - not having access to a Memberlist (another WordPress’ism) its difficult to tell how many people are really on here.

@discosteve I bet that many Robox users are not even aware of this forum - not roboxing.com…

@discosteve : The map is merely an indication of Robox users that have put themselves on the map 🙂

If Robox users choose not to use the forums, or not to use Roboxing.com, that’s totally up to them. A bit dumb, though… after a while, the experienced users are going to get rather sick of answering the same questions over and over.

I just noticed that Thingiverse have opened up a new “Thingiverse Groups” feature. (Is it new, or did I merely not notice it before?)

I’ve created a Robox group: http://www.thingiverse.com/groups/robox-users so you can add yourself if you wish.

@gid “If Robox users choose not to use the forums, or not to use Roboxing.com, that’s totally up to them.”

No - it is not that. It is more like they are not aware, didn’t think of it, or something else…
