It would be great to have a screen that slowly cycles through completed projects, with nametags on them. So you can see what people have made, and their name so you could reach out to them if you have questions.
This is because there are loads of people who have niche knowledge and skills that other people would benefit from. I’m imagining a screen on a wall somewhere that turns on when the shutters are raised?
Here is what it would require I think?:
A screen
A shared drive / space to upload photos of completed projects
Something to display the images (Raspberry Pi?) - I’ve got an old desktop PC if that’s of any use?
We could even test it by having one of the screens above the 3D printer computers, to see if people like it? How do I suggest something like this?
We already have a TV in the textile area which can screen mirror. That would seem a good place to start? It isn’t used as much as I had thought when we had it - so could be moved to another area if its needed.
If there’s a Roku stick, there’s an existing screensaver feature that you can just point it at a google photos account and it’ll scroll through the pics. Then people can just share photos with it. But it does require a google account, and not sure how people might feel about that.
