Content

It has been suggested that I host a Hero Me based Livestream to cover topics like:

  • Hero Me Frequently Asked Questions
  • Best way to print Hero Me parts
  • Hero Me - 3D printer upgrade and assembly tips
  • 3D Printer configuration and tuning
  • Guests from various 3D printing backgrounds
  • Other Hero Me or 3D printing related topics

Is this something of interest to you, and if so, how often?

Please also comment on:

  • Topics you would like to see covered
  • Best Days and times for a Livestream
  • Suggested length of livestream sessions
  • What other 3D printing livestreams (other than new printer builds/reviews) have you watched that you think work well and are worth the time? 
  • Do you watch them live to ask questions, or do you watch them later when you have time?

I would love to see weekly streams at first, I'd imagine there is alot to cover and I don't think you'd be able to cram in enough info in one sitting. For just a once a month, I think a bi-weekly or weekly would be the ticket at first then space them out more after most of the info is out there after the live stream is over, post the video for reference and make it into a series

Justin above, has a great suggestion. The goal is to get to a monthly livestream to cover all those topics you listed above, Updates on the projects, upcoming projects, showcase remixes and or community solutions to FAQ's. But at the start, short weekly streams to get everyone caught up on the important news and updates, and answering HMG6 questions, and printing tips on getting the HMG6 printed will be a great start.

Bi-weekly or monthly is fine. You need time to put everything together. There's a lot of material to cover.

Victor Abyad

I agree with Killdeer and Justin. After those, then monthly.

I like the idea of weekly, and then spacing out the meetings. I run a weekly Lunch & Learn at work for the area I am the subject matter expert (SME). I make sure to have an agenda that is published a day or two ahead so folks can get together any specific questions on the topic at hand. I plan on 75% of the time as presentation & demo time based on the agenda, with topical questions as I go. In the last quarter, I open for general discussions off the primary topic. I try to hold the time to the published time, so I ask that any questions we don't get to they send me a note and I may answer that in a group email, a call, or plan a topic around one or two of the questions. After a few months now, we are going from demos to some very specific details where fewer folks are coming in, but still sending questions.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, excellent idea. I have done the same in years past and should have thought of that. Thanks for shaking my brain... Hello, hello, is anyone awake in there =)

It would depend when it airs. I work nights (US west coast) and that is when most things like this happen. Guess it’s a matter of watching later, when the world is doing other stuff.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! It looks like there is agreement that having several bi-weekly livestreams at the beginning to get a lot of topics covered, questions answered, bringing everyone up to speed with the ecosystem that is the Hero Me makes sense, then move to a monthly livestream with new topics, Q&A, guests, etc. I will create an agenda and dates (I can adjust the times to be different for each so that there is easier access for those with different schedules and timezones) for the first couple livestreams and post them. With the post I will ask all patrons to comment with questions they would like to see answered. So there will be a portion where I present and demo, and a portion where I answer questions.
