    There was a short "how should we go about this" discussion some time ago that led to no clear scheme, and the problem is worse now than ever. All need to remember that the MakerFarm product line is far more complex than it used to be. Long gone are the days where a single set of files works for everyone with a MakerFarm printer, at least not without some adjustments.

    Don't get me wrong - I'm all about sharing lessons learned and helping out the next user. As a minimum, things like thread posts, comments, descriptions, filenames, and foldernames should probably clarify what the content applies to. Even without factoring user modifications, the type of electronics (RAMPS, RUMBA, RAMBO), type of LCD (character vs graphic), type of extruder (Greg's Wade, bulldog, Pegasus, Titan single vs dual), and bed compensation scheme are examples of ways MakerFarm printers can differ as far as a firmware build and configuration parameters. Many users can readily deal with tailoring standard files for their unique configuration, but history has shown that some, especially new users still somewhat unfamiliar with the firmware and lacking confidence in what they are doing, will struggle in doing this. If that is considered somehow from the beginning, maybe it'll be easier for all in the long-run.
