Stamp came out great, but… Time to be that guy again.
We have crept into the ‘little bit pregnant’ zone.
I thought keeping focus off politics was reasonable to prevent brawls.
Now we have politics with a side of civil disobedience.
Doesn’t matter if I agree with it or not. It is cracking a door best kept closed.
Hate me for saying this if you must, but if the door is open for politics, then this forum will go crazy train like the rest of the Internet rather fast.

I do hope not, I can only count on being saved from myself a certain number of times in a week.

I’ll be the other guy then. You’re right to want to hold the line against political dust ups, but I think no politics were harmed here.
There was no editorializing. Just a statement about admiration of ms Tubman and the fact that the bill wasn’t changed.
We’re not even a tiny bit pregnant. Yours and my posts are the most political part.

It’s actually against forum rules to ask for files.
Since when? I’ve had people ask me for files, ask for settings, PM me to see if they could sell my files. It’s a community and I asked if the original poster was willing to share their information. If it’s against the rules and admin will correct me.
There’s really no reason to have a community if we’re not here to help each other succeed. If I’m having good success with a certain material I would be happy to share that information with anyone who is having a hard time.

This is from the Glowforge FAQ:
If someone shares a print that they’ve made, please respect their sharing and do not ask for the source design or artwork. Designs take work and have value, and when you ask someone to give you that value for free, you undermine their work.

what @hansepe posted is correct.
everything you’ve mentioned except for asking for files is encouraged. we share information all the time and this community is very giving and sharing in that respect. but the one exception to that is asking for files. there is a forum section for people to share files if they wish to, but it needs to be voluntary. asking for settings is fine, asking for help in creating is fine, asking for the source files is not.

It’s not their source material. It was downloaded from thingiverse. My request amounts to help with illustrator. But even if it was theirs, I would still ask if they were willing. Anyone can say no.

if you do, it will still violate the rules that GF has set up for their forums. their admins have chimed in on this before as well, it’s not a grey area.

And they are welcome to chime in this instance also. Thank you for pointing out the FAQs to me.
Urjac. I’m sorry that my post apparently was against community guidelines and multiple people flagged me as such. I though I was asking a simple request of a community that I have been a part of since 2015.
Now I’m asking to please not share the file that you found on thingiverse. I have had the file but haven’t had much success getting it to work with my glowforge. I’ve had trouble with the correct settings for the pink rubber. If you have any tips you might be willing to share, but not the file that I already have, I would be eternally grateful for your help.
I repeat… Do not share the file. That is not what I’m asking for. I already have the file from thingiverse.
By the way… Excilent job on your Tubman stamp. I plan to make many of them when I get things straight because my sister and her friends would love them, and my wife works at an ATM company so if I can get her to stamp a few thousand $20 bills that would be great also.

It is a definite stretch to call this political. And since it’s not even breaking any laws, it’s not even civil disobedience. If we can’t share anything that’s passed through our government for debate, we’ll have a pretty empty forum.

The whole reason the policy is there is to not put someone on the spot. You’re not going to change the policies, so I’d suggest you accept it and move on. This has been discussed many times, GF believes strongly in it. Trust me the forum is still useful, hyperbolic claims that it’s not aren’t very helpful.
