Thank you to all of you who contributed to the survey, it’s given us some great insights. We wanted to find out how you were using Opendesk filesets that come in a range of thicknesses and if there was anyway we could improve this service and you’ve helped us do just that. So, what did we find out?
On average you gave this service a usefulness score of 7.9 out of 10. Pretty darn useful! So we’re going to keep pushing this service and expand it to more products because you find it helps you build Opendesk products.
72% of you said you were aware that we produce a range of files mastered for different thicknesses. We want this number to be bigger, so we’re going to be clearer about it’s availability. We going to keep you updated in newsletters, clear up our communication in our maker onboarding process and clarify what’s available in the download pack.
86% of you think the range of 17.5mm to 18.5mm is enough to cover most of the variation you see in your material thickness. That’s great, however we know a lot of the material available in the world is in produced in imperial measurements so we’re going to expand this range from 17.5mm to 19.5mm.
We had some other useful insights from the last question; “I would really like to see the drawings offered in Imperial units, not just metric.”
A few people mentioned having access to the nested 3D files; “Since we program inside solidworks, a nested solid file would be a little easier to deal with.” We’re going to figure out if we can deliver this in a useful way. If you’d find this format useful, please reply to this email with how you would like this files. Different thicknesses, which orientation and anything else you can think of that would be useful.
Is there a routing bit size which is widely agreed upon for profile cutting ?
