Maker Foundry Settings — Contributing: Submit, Vote & Report

  • Can I upload a whole LightBurn library at once?

    Yes — the Submit a library flow lets you upload a LightBurn .clb library file so many settings can be brought in together rather than typing them one by one. As with single submissions, imported settings are reviewed before they go live.

  • How do I add a photo to a setting?

    On the submit form (and on your saved copies) there is an image upload field — choose a photo of your test result or finished piece and it attaches to the setting. Photos help other makers judge whether a setting matches the look they want, and they make the material browse view much nicer.

  • How do I report a wrong or unsafe setting?

    Use the Report button on the setting page. Tell us what is wrong (bad numbers, unsafe, duplicate, etc.). Reports go to our moderators, who review and fix or remove the setting. Reporting bad data keeps the library accurate for everyone — please do it whenever something looks off.

  • How do I submit a setting I dialed in?

    Click Submit in the sidebar (or the "Submit a setting" button) and fill in the form: machine, material, operation, power, speed, and any other fields you know. Add notes and a photo if you can. Your submission goes into a pending queue for a quick review, then it publishes to the library credited...

  • What do the "Worked / Needed tweaks / Had issues" votes do?

    On each setting page you can leave a quick community vote: Worked — it ran well as-is, Needed tweaks — close, but you adjusted it, Had issues — it did not work for you. The tallies tell the next maker how reliable a setting is in the real world. It takes one tap and it is the single most helpfu...

  • What happens after I submit? Why is it not showing yet?

    New community submissions land in a moderation queue first, so the public library stays trustworthy. Once it is approved it goes live (you may see it marked "pending" in the meantime). If something is off, it may be edited for clarity or held — nothing personal, just keeping the data clean.
