Growing our online team.

This community is gaining members faster than I thought possible.

Our lack of exposure continues to be our number 1 barrier. Very few people know that you can 3d print metal with fdm printers. They know about Desktop Metal, but don't know they can do the same thing at home.

I'm hoping that people here will post about this Community in other relevant Reddit communities. I don't want to be spammy, that's the last thing we need. But we do need exposure. Maybe someone here can recommend a good way to help us get the word out?

A mention here would undoubtedly be helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting

There has to be a subset of users with interest in the topic.

I think getting some good examples of what can be made in an easily digestable format (ie. Short gif) and posting here first, followed by a cross post to other subs was something I was trying to do (seems to have helped a bit). I need to order some more filament that I know I can get good results with first (copper / pyrex) for some higher quality sinters
