Forums

Information on why we request to keep your topics and replies as simple (understandable) as possible.

In this forums you can post bug reports for projects, downloads and/or software. Please do make sure to first read the topic explanation!

In this forum I might/can announce projects, 'products', content or do other announcements in regards to these topics or the XNL Future Technologies Platform or Community. I will for example post things in here which are either not 'big enough' to post on a blog post, or I will double post them here also (blog and here) so people can enable email notifications for this forum. NOTE: Only XNL Future Technologies can create topics in this forum, members can reply to topics though.

In this forum beginners can ask help, or you can post explanations/tutorials on how to do things. When asking help do make sure to be detailed, tell what you have already done etc. And when helping, try to be as detailed as possible (see this topic for more info)

The forum for modules, sensors, components and more of the alike, how to use them, to ask about them, to tell others about them etc.

Ask or show how to repair things, mod things or 'hack' things. NOTE: Illegal hacks are not allowed on our forums! With 'hacks' we mean things like adding/modding features or repurposing (old) equipment,

In this forum you can ask anything related to 3D printing. From advice about buying (your first printer), filaments, repairing or modding your 3D printer, slicers and every thing alike. NOTE: This topic is intended for beginners in 3D printing, so please don't start advanced modding discussions, custom board discussions etc, tips on for example hot-end upgrades are welcome of course though.

Here you can discuss, post, ask etc everything about Resin 3D printers. Do however note that we (at XNL Future Technologies) don't use Resin printers, have minimal experience, and most likely won't (ever) use them either for various (personal) reasons. But we do want to provide a space on our forums so that resin users can share information and help each other.

This forums contains several sub forums dedicated to general 3D modeling, modeling for 3D printing, modeling for game models and (3D) modeling & CAD software

This forum is intended for beginner programmers, no matter if it's for microcontrollers, desktop software, web development or game development, mods or scripts. Here you can also ask and find information when you want to know where to start when you want to learn programming.

In this forum you can discuss anything related to microcontroller related programming (mainly Arduino, but other platforms/architectures are also welcome).

Discuss your (building) automation projects in this forum

Discuss your (hardware) 'hacking' and modding projects in this forum. WARNING: Make sure to read the rules of this forums first before posting!

In this forum you can (within the rules of the forum obviously) discuss anything which is considered off-topic on the other parts of the forum(s).

In this forum you can offer (either for free or for sale) stuff related to electronics, 3D printing etc for others to get/buy. Do read the sticky post in regards to the 'marketplace' before posting though!

Talk about, discuss and promote other electronics, 3D modeling/printing, programming and DIY content creators (Channels, forums and websites). Yes you can for example also promote your own channel here, but do first read the sticky topic before posting in this forum!

This is basically the same general chat lounge as the public one, but then only for (all) patron members. In this forum you can discuss anything 'off-topic' to the rest of the forum, hang out with other patrons etc (while still following the forum rules of course).

Here you can discuss anything related to programming which you want to share only amongst other patrons. You could for example discuss (or showcase) beta versions of your project(s) here before releasing them in the public section of the forum once they are done.

Here you can discuss and show Work In Progress projects with other patrons for your projects.

In this forum I will from time to time post updates, announcements etc only visible to patrons. This would most likely most of the time be in regards to upcoming content. Do however note that it's also possible I don't post in this catergory for a long period, but then instead for example use patron only blog posts.

This is yet again basically the same general chat lounge as the public one, but then only for patron+ members (Mini Drone Factory Tier and up). In this forum you can discuss anything 'off-topic' to the rest of the forum, hang out with other patron+ members etc (while still following the forum rules of course).
