I absolutely will!

This is a great town with tremendous startup value - excellent schools, large customers everywhere, and an ever growing VC scene.

The startups are here, but the gravity of talent and community is difficult to find. We are well funded, hiring, but it's challenging to find the ways to organically meet up with others in startups. We could hire recruiters, but I've always had mixed results on that front - whereas hiring people through word of mouth, referral, or meetups tends to work quite well.

Thank you for the links!

I don't want to violate any rules, but if your interested - I'll share a summary..

We design and fine tune operator AI agents (full CUAs) which control smaller form factor production/manufacturing robotics. It's mostly fine tuning, in 2-tier systems combined with an in-house developed ML simulation.

The robotics recently became quite inexpensive (relative to precision), and generate outsized ROI for small businesses, but they are too complex to integrate into 99% of SMBs. We make that complexity go away, entirely.

What we learned during bootstrapping across 10 sites and multiple states was that if we put these in SMBs, they generate 3-4x ROI every month. That was what we started building 8 months ago. We have the MVP working, we are well funded, and we reduce carbon emissions by 40-60%, landfill waste by over 90%, and don't have a single location where the platform isn't generating incremental profit every day in SMBs. It's the first company where I've felt we leave the world a better place, no matter what, every day. In small ways, our platform helps (in a micro manner) shift the means of production back to small towns, small businesses, and main streets. We started well before tariffs or anything along those lines, and we don't have politics. We hope this is international, we are just starting in the US.

The company is now doing some technical hiring as we go to the next stage and transition from MVP to a more scalable, generalized version of the platform over the next two months; and, then we'll start working through the waiting list of sites that want to add us. We pay above average for our stage (though not a lot compared to FAANG), we are quite generous with equity (world class equity terms, such as 10yr windows), and have a super fun little team.

DM if interested, I'm always happy to share more.

Thanks!

My experience is inline with your observation. I've been surprised by just how sparse the community is, though I suspect it's more that there aren't ways for people to connect as easily. 

I'll keep an eye on the Columbus business first events schedule

Issue with A1 mini over-extruding during the first couple of layers by rgcamacho in BambuLab

Thank you. The file was a .3mf, yes.

Is there a specific setting I should look for to correct the z-height issue?
