🧰Pilot Space Knowledge Base

Welcome to our internal wiki, the Pilot Space Knowledge Base. Find information on machines, software setup, material selection, and more!

How do I use this site?

The "wiki" section on the left contains information on all of our machines and tools.

• Searching: this site features both a traditional search function and a machine learning powered search (the "Lens" button in search). This is a feature of Gitbook, and uses an AI language model trained on the content of this site. The output at times will be completely inaccurate or otherwise misleading - please consult the "Answer based on x sources" at the base of the answer to back up its response.

• Machine Documentationcontains information on the machines themselves

  • General usage instructions

  • Maintenance

  • Material restrictions

  • Any "helper" machines are located in the category of their related main machine. For example, the Stratasys Support Cleaning Apparatus docs are located in the 3D Printing section.

• Software contains:

  • download links, installation notes, initial setup guides

  • Guides that will be re-used

    • example: under CAD -> Solidworks, Exporting an SVG

Contributing

If you want to note incorrect information or make minor changes, please send an email to [e-mail] and include:

• Subject with brief descriptor: "Gitbook change request: [issue]"

• The link to the page with the issue

• The issue itself (ex: "x is worded poorly" or "x is incorrect")

• The correction (ex: "change [x] to [y]" or "rephrase [a] to clarify that [b]" etc)

If you'd like to add a page, etc, just make a more detailed version of the above example.

Please do not use this format to inquire about how to use a specific machine - this is for corrections only. If you just need help using a machine, please talk to a Pilot Space Assistant directly!

If you wish to become a contributor, please send an email to [e-mail]. This would be a very rare approval - the most likely response is a request to submit the files you'd like to contribute, but in special cases it may be approved.
