At one point we were all new to Shapeways and 3D printing. A lot of use were/are pioneers in trying things out, finding out what works. We've all been helped, and have helped others to start being able to use Shapeways to the best of our abilities, and to the best of Shapeways abilities. We have thousands upon thousands of posts on the forum about how to use Shapeways. But it would be much easier to access that information in a condensed form. We have a
tutorials section, that is in the process of being update. It's just not possible for all of the knowledge that we (the community team) have to cover everything that the community needs. We hear you want more tutorials. So here's your chance to help your fellow community members that may not be as knowledgeable on a topic as yourself, and to learn from other knowledgeable users.
So Guidelines:
1. A complete tutorial with a goal and steps from start to completion
2. Topic is your choice. Software specific, interesting solutions, interesting modeling methods, post production. Anything you think someone else would find useful
3. Pictures say a thousand words
4. Deadline End of day Monday
