# Ideas & Planning

We actively incorporate suggestions from community members. Here are concepts currently in development for upcoming meetups:

## Future Challenge Ideas
- **"Sliced" Rapid Design Competition**: Timed on-site modeling/slicing challenge.
- **Mechanical Compliance**: 100% print-in-place compliant mechanisms without hardware.
- **Recycled & Sustainable Materials**: Prints made with rPLA and recycled filaments.

## Workshop & Presentation Topics
- Advanced Scarf Seam calibration in OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer.
- Multi-color filament painting and HueForge layer optimization.
- Designing functional snap-fit joints and tolerances.

## Community Outreach Initiatives
- **School Partnerships**: Outreach to robotics teams and STEM programs.
- **Discord Integration**: Online community voting and suggestions.
