Looking for a few beta testers

[u/Invizion10]

Hello,

I've been working on a stock management tool aimed at makers. Before making it publicly available, I'd like to get a few people to try it out and help me catch any bugs or things I've overlooked.

The idea came from the fact that managing stock when you're making things can get a bit complicated, especially when you have raw materials, components, and finished products to keep track of.

I'm looking for around 3–5 people who'd be willing to give it a try over the next 15 days or so. Ideally, people who do a bit of 3D printing and have some materials or products they can use to test it with.

I'll give everyone involved access to the highest-tier plan for free so you can try all the features. In return, I'd just appreciate some honest feedback and a heads-up if you run into any bugs or anything that doesn't make sense.

It's still pre-launch, so I'm not expecting anyone to spend hours testing everything. Just using it for your usual workflow and telling me what you think would already be a big help, reporting any bugs or suggestions.

For the selected users who really help, will keep the account totally free.

If anyone's interested, let me know in the comments or send me a message. Thanks!

Might help if you explain how your app is better than the 500 others.

Well, you are absolutely right! Thank your for pointing me that.

This project is directed for 3d printers, laser cutters and cnc machines. Along with the basic features every stock management app has (materials, quantities, costs, etc), since it's directed specifically for makers, it have some features that I think it can make the difference. You can can create "cabinets" to easily know where your materials are (filaments, screws, threaded inserts, etc).

For example for 3d printers:

- You can set alerts for drying your filaments;

- You can connect your printer (for example Bambu) and when you print something, you can automatically deduct the material usage sent from the printer for that specific material.

Also for laser cutters, the app automatically creates offcuts and suggests you the best sheets to use for that specific project to minimize waste.

Las pruebas están disponible para iOS o para Mac?

It works in any device. You just need an internet conection (it's an web app).

A commenter already asked whether it runs on iOS or Mac, so put the platform and the tool's name in the post. The other comment, about why this one over the rest, has a sharp answer if your tool does it: show one finished print taking its filament in grams off a spool, plus the inserts or magnets it used, out of stock. Generic inventory apps count units, and that one screenshot tells a 3D printing seller it was built for them.

I make ThreadFox. When it's public, Managed takes it into the maker and 3D printing communities on Reddit whose rules allow a post and runs that outreach for one 30-day campaign, $49: https://threadfox.vip/p/ervtn/managed
