Maker Foundry Settings — Finding Settings

  • Can I sort the results?

    Yes — use the sort dropdown: Newest first (default) — most recently added settings. Oldest first. Most favorited — the settings the community saves the most, a good signal of what works.

  • How does the search bar work?

    The search is multi-word and searches everywhere at once — material, color, brand, vendor, manufacturer, machine, notes, laser type, and surface. Every word you type must appear somewhere in the result. So "f2 tumbler" finds a setting on an F2 machine for a tumbler material, even though those two...

  • How do I find a setting for my machine and material?

    Start on the Library page (the home page when signed in). The fastest paths: Type in the search bar — it matches material, color, brand, machine, and notes all at once. Try "P3 acrylic" or "basswood cut". Use the filter dropdowns to narrow by manufacturer, machine, laser type, operation, and mor...

  • What is the "By Material" page for?

    By Material flips the library around: instead of one row per setting, it groups everything by material (and color, and machine). Open a material and you will see its engrave, cut, and score settings linked together, with cut settings broken out by thickness. It is the best view when you know the ...

  • What is the difference between the Detailed and Compact views?

    A toggle at the top of the Library switches how results are shown: Detailed — larger cards with the full numbers, notes, and shop links visible. Compact — image-forward, tighter cards so you can scan a lot of settings quickly, then tap one for the details. Both load more results as you go with ...

  • Why do I only see a few settings when signed out?

    Signed-out visitors see a public sample so the library is discoverable and searchable on Google. Sign in free to unlock the full library, all filters, and every action. Individual setting pages are fully public — you can read any one you land on.
