The folgertech facebook group uses this to let people add where their printer is located. Seems like that would be a cool thing to have linked on your site for locations of all the MPCNC, Lowrider CNC, MP3DP & ZenXY around the world. In the description for each entry on this zeemaps site, people put what kind of printer they have.
I did not look at the price. That could be expensive. I wonder if there is a wordpress plugin or something similar that could be created? Looks like prusa just uses a map from the 3Dhubs.
Here are a couple of open source Interactive World Map plugins I found.
I’ve used software in the past that would map the IP addresses of where my customers were coming from.
Since a lot of people that visit the forum are building ‘something’ from the site, that would be an ok representation. + or - the few nutjobs that VPN through Peru or something (can’t verify, but think Jeffe probably fits this list)
I’m so down for this, I send boxes to countries I have never heard of! Votes for a good one, That doesn’t cost $20/month? The two other links above I don’t think will work.
@Ryan, why don’t you just point a webcam at a low rider, carve the world map on it, and let people punch in whatever gcode they want to mark where the machines are?
I just dug through it a bit, it looks more like a crowd sourced map. I placed a marker but it disappears as you zoom out.
User submitted info is tough. I have it working in google maps but there is no way to prevent deleting points. If you can add a point you can delete any or all points. The one I almost had working on the previous page, needed you to make a post on the site…kinda complicated.
