What do I get on a public project page?

The title and summary, every step in order with its instruction text, a rolled-up bill of materials, and a button into the interactive guide. Search engines can read that page; the player is for assembling.

Are draft projects visible?

No. Until the owner publishes, guests get a 404. You will not find half-written manuals in Explore.

For builders

Assemble from a real bench guide

Clone a machine, print the right profiles, order the hardware, and follow a step list that already knows which screw you should be holding.

What you get instead of a zip

A readable build page

Every published project has a public URL with the title, summary, step text, and a rolled-up parts list. You can skim it before you print a single part.

Hardware with the step

The guide does not say “assemble gantry.” It says which printed parts and which screws belong on that step, then totals them for the shopping list.

A player for the bench

Start the guide when you are ready to assemble. Step through it, then return to the public page when you want the whole manual in one view.

Browse by what you are building

Explore is split into the same categories creators use when they publish. Empty categories stay empty until someone ships a manual — we do not pad the library with placeholders.
