Five reusable prompts that output named parameters, not mystery STLs.
Scheduled for September 21, 2026. Five reusable prompts that output named parameters, not mystery STLs.
Goal
Ship a finishable Article focused on ai hardware/workflows, with materials, steps, failure modes, and an optional AI assist note.
Materials / prerequisites
- List exact boards, sensors, filament, or software versions
- Link related gear on /gear where relevant
- Safety notes (mains, batteries, hot ends)
Steps
- Baseline: prove power + serial / mechanical free motion
- Core feature of this guide
- Validation test (what “done” looks like)
Troubleshooting
- Top 3 failure modes for this build
- How to measure (multimeter, serial log, calipers)
AI assist
Include a copy-paste prompt that requires assumptions lists and refuses invented part numbers.
