I only really buy IC and components and do 99% of that on eBay. Not sure how massdrop can compete or offer anything not already on eBay for cheaper. The tools you should buy good stuff, not cheap deals.

+1 for DIY audio. I have a hard time believing that, with the size of the Audiophile community on Massdrop, there's been no thought given to DIY options. Perhaps just no polling on such items.

I'd like to see diy audio gear in this community... (and of course, open source discounted single board computer with lots of I/O :D)

Posted a 3d printer poll, pretty much took some 3d printers from /r/3dprinting that are highly recommended. I would love the support!

sokolskeThinking of building my own 3D printer or CNC build but NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 stepper motors are kinda pricey. And don't even get me started on the ClearPath servo motors. Really nice but kinda expensive.

Alot of the polls are for computers and led lights (not regular leds, the home fixture kind), there is a phone, gaming mouse, and piano keyboard. I am really into DIY tech like arduino and raspberry pi, and I work with them a lot. Some of those polls have nothing or little to do with DIY tech and belong more in the tech category. I am really excited for the community but not these unrelated polls.

RobinghYeah, it was a function of the SQL pull because it is hard to move related polls by hand. We are moving unrelated polls back into Tech as we speak. Thanks for the flag.

3D printer/printing Community Suggestion?
With 3d Printers becoming more popular, It would be nice to see a 3d printing or printer community and more drops for 3d Printers. Would like to get some feed back.

We need more Pi!
I am a HUGE fan of the Raspberry Pi, and have found so many uses for fun and utility for the Pi around the house. At any given point I have no less than 3 Pi's actively filling some role around my house, with a few more always sitting around for projects/testing/etc. The Pi 3 has really made the Pi a computing powerhouse for the price ($35 retail) and the size, and is not only significantly more powerful and faster than the Pi 2, but has integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well! I think a common misconception is that Pi's are just for programmers and tech-savvy folks, but that simply is not the case. Because the Pi was created to be an introduction tool for learning some basic programming and understanding to how computers work, there is a massive amount of excellent documentation and tutorials that can walk you through setting up operating systems, installing programs, and creating all sorts of projects with your Pi. Yes I know Massdrop has had some kits in the past...

So when is Massdrop going to do 3d printers? It's getting really affordable now and I would love to see massdrop edition printers!

Carvey FTW
At first I wanted an x-carve but since I live in an apartment where noise and dust can quickly become an Issue I've decided a Carvey will be the next best thing. A Carvey is a CNC machine for makers that allows engraving and cutting of materials to be easier from home, classroom, or small studio. It's fully-enclosed making the cuts clean, quiet, and safe. It comes with a free free web-app thats is easy to use. Interested?

Change DYI Tech to Maker.
The term Maker is being used more and more. Fits in - more than just Arduino or Pi.

Would massdrop be able to do a drop for manual benchtop milling machines?
I'd really like to get a little milling machine of my own and would prefer a manual one over cnc but the prices are a little prohibitive so I was wondering if a benchtop milling machine would be reasonable with how much they cost and how much they weigh.
