I am personally very okay with makerville.io taking it's own sweet time to have users. But I realized that there's no way to request an invite. So if you are someone who would like to join makerville.io, just send me a mail at anuj at makerville.io. A small introduction to what you do would help!

I decided to get the Prusa Mini recently for my home lab. Here's the breakout of how much I had to pay  -

44% feels okay for importing a really good FDM printer like the Prusa Mini,  but if I was getting a SLA printer like Prusa SL1 which starts at 1400$ - it would mean I end up paying over 2000$ for it. 

1. Wisdom related to manufacturing, production, supply chain, and design for physical products is localized. That's why the "Indian" constraint
2. I have been doing hardware for a bit now, and there's just so much to learn it's overwhelming at times. Starting and moderating a community of makers is one of my ways to make the learning a bit more accessible.
3. Meeting people at meetups and conferences is one of my favorite things to do. Bouncing ideas off each other on twitter as well is a close second. Given the constraints of a post-2020 world, I think places like this forum can help with quality community-building
4. I'd love to have a place to document my projects. Personal blogs feel like Cathedrals. A forum is closer to a Bazaar - which makes a lot more sense to me.

What about you - what do you think this community should be about?
