Feature: Notes field on a Model
It would be useful to have just a textarea on a model to store some notes. Like for example, I have a model of a fan shroud and I'd like to store a note along side with it saying "BL/3D Touch Offset: x-51 y-13". Otherwise I have to store this somewhere else. Could also store things like print settings, infill etc
Nice idea! I'll pop it on the list. Do you think just Models, or for individual parts as well?
I just had this same thought. It would be nice to be able to have fields for Material, Infill %, and other comments (like if it takes a certain fastener, etc).
Being able to upload a README/How-To to complement model folders would handy for complex designs that still need to be built after printing.
Any news on this? Any way i can assit? if i knew how the website structure was a lil bit i may be able to suggest some code additons. i believe this could be an additional column (varchar(500) on postgres database van_dam.models, and then have an entry on the page that read from that field, and a button to update the text in that field, similar to the one for printed, pre-supported, y axis up. Thoughts?
It's quite a straightforward change, Rails makes this really easy to add. Just needs a bit of time to get it done. PRs are welcome, of course!
Ah cool, So rails is the platform that is providing the back end for the website? I can research and see what i can do.
Funny coincidence, I started work on this issue yesterday :) I expect I'll have a PR in the next day or two on it. I'd probably have it done already, but I had to read up on how rails extends the database, etc.
thank you! will there be a new update, or do i need to reinstall the container?
This will come out on v0.41.0, which I hope will get released later this week - just a couple of jobs left to do on it. Updating and restarting the container should be all you need to do.
