I really like deep dive and think we should introduce levels on top, like
Expert Diver: 100 3d engraves
Diving Instructor: 500 3d engraves

Or something like that.

I think you have to at least doodle a proposed badge or it doesn’t count.

Ahh I get it. You are going to allow us to paint that fence for you…

I get bored later, will see what I can think up.

Two “better” suggestions and I’ll stop :slight_smile: .

HELPER for somebody that regularly hangs out in the “Problem and Solutions” and offers aid and advice. Called out by staff for providing solutions

DOCENT for people that have created tutorials, or that offer help and advice on a regular basis

Asset 3

These could actually be a single badge - I’d go with Docent.

Dadgummit! I’m interrupting my vacation to do this one, but can’t help it… :smile:

Mistakenly cut Extruded Acrylic thinking it was Cast Acrylic:

skunk

(And @brokendrum, you prompted this one by mentioning a skunk up above…it really fits!)

Okay, I’m getting back out of here before I get yelled at. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I haven’t really finished these, but close enough. From the top:

  1. Recycler - for responding to a thread more than 6 months old
  2. Hedgehog - lets move on… I got nothing
  3. WiFi Master - for walking others through settin up WiFi to their GF
  4. Atlas - for providing links to cleaning, matrix, days to delivery, etc.
  5. Science - for those that have used their GF for science
  6. Fixer - for helping others fix files, pick a color, etc.

Have fun.

There needs to be one for when you (accidentally or on purpose) position your design so that just the tiniest bit of it ends up off the side of your material.

One everybody gets sooner or later.

Kind of unhappy with these, but the point is made.
You got one in house - you get a finger wave for good measure.
