# Current Challenge: September 2026
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As we head into fall, it's time to show off the practical power of 3D printing with **Practi"FALL" Prints**!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whether it's an everyday household fix or a clever workshop tool, bring in a practical print that solves a problem or makes life easier.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### The Focus: Functional Utility & Everyday Practicality
|
||||||
|
The goal is to design or print a functional item that serves a practical purpose. This can be anything from a simple door stop, cord clip, or drawer organizer, to a crazy multi-levered bottle or can opener, tool jig, or replacement bracket!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Submission Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Physical Model**: Bring your practical print to the **September 16th, 2026** meetup.
|
||||||
|
* **Range of Entries**: Anything functional qualifies—from simple everyday utility items to complex mechanical openers or tools.
|
||||||
|
* **The Story**: Be ready to demonstrate or explain what problem your print solves, how you use it, and your printing/design approach (materials, infill, orientation for strength, etc.).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Judging & Prize
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite entry based on practical usefulness, creativity, and execution.
|
||||||
|
* **Prize**: The winner will receive a **free spool of filament**!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Timeline

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Challenge Announcement**: August 19th, 2026 (at August meetup)
|
||||||
|
* **Show & Tell / Voting**: September 16th, 2026 (during September meetup)

# Past Challenge: July 2026
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Challenge: Scarf Seams
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Master the art of scarf seam placement! This month's challenge focused on dialing in your scarf seam settings and techniques.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### The Focus
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The scarf seam is a powerful tool in your 3D printing arsenal. This challenge asked participants to create a model with a carefully placed scarf seam on a **sphere**. It provided an opportunity to experiment with different settings and share what was learned about getting the perfect seam placement.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One of our community members designed a great test part specifically for this challenge! You can find their test model in our Discord server here:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Submission Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Physical Model**: Brought to the July 15th, 2026 meetup.
|
||||||
|
* **Size Constraint**: The object had to fit within a **75mm cubed space**.
|
||||||
|
* **Seam Location**: The seam was positioned on a sphere (the bottom half square approach was permitted).
|
||||||
|
* **Settings Discussion**: Participants shared their print settings, temperature, speed, and tricks for achieving clean scarf seams.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

# Challenge Archive: Bring an Experiment (Round 2!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Challenge: Bring an Experiment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to the huge success of our last challenge and the awesome influx of new people, we are running **Bring an Experiment** again! We want even more of you to bring in your experiments. These can even be completely failed prints—remember, as 3D Printers, we love spaghetti!!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this month, we challenge you to try something new, crazy, or wild! It can be anything from simple cubes to complex prints. The goal is simply to push boundaries and try something you haven't done before.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### The Focus: The Process
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We want to hear about what you tried. Be prepared to share:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* What was your experiment?
|
||||||
|
* Why did you try it?
|
||||||
|
* Did it work, or did it fail? (Failing is encouraged, it's about trying something new!)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Submission Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Physical Model**: Bring your experimental print (or spaghetti!) to the **May 20th** meetup.
|
||||||
|
* **The Story**: Be ready to tell the group about your process and what you were testing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Judging & Prize
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite experimental attempt.
|
||||||
|
* **Prize**: The winner will receive a **free spool of filament**!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Timeline
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Challenge Announcement**: April 2026 (at April 29th meetup)
|
||||||
|
* **Show & Tell / Voting**: May 2026 (during May 20th meetup)
|
||||||
|
* **Winner Announcement**: May 2026 (end of May 20th meetup)

# Fargo 3D Community Content & Repository Hub Architecture (v5)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This document outlines the architecture, API schemas, configuration, and implementation plan for upgrading the **Fargo 3D Wiki, Challenges, & Community Resources** system to consume markdown and structured assets directly from the **primary Git repository** (`Fargo3d/3DPrintMeetup`) instead of the flat Gitea Wiki API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 1. Overview & Key Advantages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rather than relying on the legacy Gitea Wiki API (which enforces a flat page hierarchy and requires an $O(N)$ loop to base64-decode each page just to read tags), the website will connect to the **Gitea Repository REST API**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Major Advantages:
|
||||||
|
1. **Branch & Fork Isolation for Safe Local Testing**:
|
||||||
|
- The repository owner, repository name, and branch/ref are configurable via `appsettings.json`.
|
||||||
|
- Developers can point their local environment to a fork (e.g. `espoon/3DPrintMeetup`) or a test branch (e.g. `v5-content`) and test website rendering immediately without altering production markdown or touching the live wiki.
|
||||||
|
2. **Instant $O(1)$ Tree Discovery (Zero N+1 Calls)**:
|
||||||
|
- A single recursive git tree request retrieves all markdown files, folder hierarchies, sizes, and git commit SHAs in ~60ms.
|
||||||
|
3. **True Folder Hierarchy & Categories**:
|
||||||
|
- Files are organized into natural repository directories (`challenges/`, `announcements/`, `HueForge/`, `tools/`) rather than flat wiki slug naming.
|
||||||
|
4. **Structured Asset Ingestion**:
|
||||||
|
- Directly loads `HueForge/3d-Fuel.json` to provide real-time filament hex color palettes, transmissivity values, and filament profiles on `/tools`.
|
||||||
|
5. **Direct Raw Streaming**:
|
||||||
|
- The raw API streams pure UTF-8 markdown text directly without base64 wrapper overhead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 2. Configuration & Branch-Targeting Schema
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In `Fargo3D.Web/appsettings.json`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"CommunityContent": {
|
||||||
|
"GiteaBaseUrl": "https://meetup.fargo3d.com",
|
||||||
|
"Owner": "Fargo3d",
|
||||||
|
"Repo": "3DPrintMeetup",
|
||||||
|
"Branch": "master",
|
||||||
|
"CacheDurationMinutes": 15
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In `Fargo3D.Web/appsettings.Development.json` (for local dev against a fork or branch):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"CommunityContent": {
|
||||||
|
"Owner": "espoon",
|
||||||
|
"Repo": "3DPrintMeetup",
|
||||||
|
"Branch": "dev"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 3. Gitea API Endpoints Utilized
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Operation | Gitea Endpoint | Description |
|
||||||
|
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
||||||
|
| **Recursive Tree** | `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/{branch}?recursive=1` | Returns the entire file tree. Filter for `item.path.EndsWith(".md")` to index all content in 1 call. |
|
||||||
|
| **Raw Content** | `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/raw/{filepath}?ref={branch}` | Streams the raw markdown or JSON file content. |
|
||||||
|
| **File Metadata** | `GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{filepath}?ref={branch}` | Returns metadata, commit info, and file size. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 4. Repository Folder Taxonomy & Routing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The files in `Fargo3d/3DPrintMeetup` map to website sections as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Repository Directory / File | Category | Target Route / UI Component |
|
||||||
|
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|

## 5. Frontmatter YAML Schema Standard
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Markdown files can optionally define frontmatter for card titles, badges, and sorting:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
title: "September 2026: Practi-FALL Prints"
|
||||||
|
category: "challenges"
|
||||||
|
subcategory: "2026"
|
||||||
|
order: 1
|
||||||
|
description: "Functional utility and everyday practicality challenge."
|
||||||
|
tags:
|
||||||
|
- active
|
||||||
|
- functional
|
||||||
|
- contest
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If frontmatter is omitted, the title defaults to the filename (or first `# H1` header), and the category defaults to the parent folder name.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 6. Implementation Architecture
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. New Content Service: `CommunityRepoService.cs`
|
||||||
|
Replaces legacy `wikiAPI` in `SharedClasses/`:
|
||||||
|
- **`GetContentTreeAsync()`**: Fetches and caches the recursive git tree for `{Owner}/{Repo}@{Branch}`.
|
||||||
|
- **`GetRawFileAsync(string path)`**: Downloads raw markdown text using `?ref={Branch}`.
|
||||||
|
- **`GetFilamentDatabaseAsync()`**: Downloads and deserializes `HueForge/3d-Fuel.json`.
|
||||||
|
- **`ParseFrontmatter(string markdown)`**: Extracts metadata (`title`, `category`, `order`, `tags`) using `FrontmatterParser.cs`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Dedicated Hub: `Fargo3D.Web/Components/Pages/Tools.razor`
|
||||||
|
- **Route**: `@page "/tools"`
|
||||||
|
- **Partner Voucher Card**: 3D Fuel voucher with one-click code copy and direct tracking link.
|
||||||
|
- **Interactive HueForge Palette**: Visual swatch grid populated directly from `HueForge/3d-Fuel.json`.
|
||||||
|
- **Community Supplies**: Community-tested recommendations pulled directly from the repo's tools markdown.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Categorized Wiki Tree: `WikiPage.razor`
|
||||||
|
- Replaces flat list with folder-aware accordion sidebar:
|
||||||
|
- 📅 **Meetup & Schedule** (`Readme.md`, `itinerary.md`, `ideas.md`)
|
||||||
|
- 🏆 **Maker Challenges** (Grouped by year/month)
|
||||||
|
- 🛠️ **Tools & Hardware** (Supplies, recommendations)
|
||||||
|
- 🎨 **HueForge Guides** (Filament guides, color theory)
|
||||||
|
- 📢 **Announcements Archive**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 7. Migration & Local Testing Workflow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Create Branch or Fork**:
|
||||||
|
- In `meetup.fargo3d.com`, create a branch (e.g. `v5-content`) or fork `3DPrintMeetup` to your user account.
|
||||||
|
2. **Update Local Config**:
|
||||||
|
- Set `"Branch": "v5-content"` in `appsettings.Development.json`.
|
||||||
|
3. **Develop & Verify**:
|
||||||
|
- Commit markdown and images to your branch/fork.
|
||||||
|
- Run `Fargo3D.Web` locally — it will immediately pull the new structure from your branch without affecting production.
|
||||||
|
4. **Merge to Production**:
|
||||||
|
- Merge your content branch into `master` on `Fargo3d/3DPrintMeetup`.
