10 Years of V1!

[vicious1 (Ryan)]

Okay, this is nuts! Next month will hit the 10 year mark for us.

What should we do? I thought it would be fun to see “10” made on a V1 machine of any kind. We need some sort of tag so maybe #V1E10? Any other suggestions?

If not, how about, if you are having fun and running a V1 machine I would love nothing more than to see a “10” of some sort carved, burned, printed, draw, scraped in the sand before 15th of next month. I would really, really like to see the machine that made it, in the frame somehow, at least enough of it to know what machine it is. We have a project gallery already, I am looking for a machine gallery.

Please submit it here, FB, any of the socials above with the #V1E10 hashtag so I can find them. I would love to make a post on the homepage about the journey we have been through, and including a lot of those pictures will warm my little cold heart.

If you have some fun related CAD to share that might help some people as well. (logos are linked at the bottom of the homepage)

so imagine if the v1e.com website circulated through pics of machines from Day 1 to now!

[vicious1 (Ryan)]

There are soooooooooo many.

[RockinRiley (Riley)]

Then have someone compile them into a youtube video and post that!
what a great Montage!

dang it removed my quote!

Gallery right? Is there a music preference or just router cutting noises?

Congratulations @vicious1 on growing your idea into a business, and nurturing a healthy community. Thank you for all the machines and support!

Neat idea @RockinRiley! Some image filtering is needed though…

For music, The Chain came to mind for some reason . But curious what you go with…

Personally would like to see a LR4 paraded around on the back of a truck, outside Home Depot and such…

Congrats, @vicious1 ! So cool.

Congrats @vicious1! You are doing awesome!

I will see what I can come up with and carve on my LR4 to post! I have a few more of those new V Bits I want to try out anyways!

10 colour theme of v1e machines. “10” countries where you can find V1e machines. 10 first projects to beginners.

[Strider_Matic (Tim O.)]

10 year anniversary printed part kits from the shop. Maybe special color, but definitely embossed with “10” somewhere on each part. V10E perhaps?

[dgkeith237]

@Strider_Matic

definitely embossed with “10” somewhere

Oh this is a cool idea. Perhaps Ryan could mod the graphics on a few pieces with a special 10 year anniversary version for each machine. (Just a little 10 or something.)

[vicious1 (Ryan)]

Hmmmmmmm

[orob]

Or a 10 year peter plate for the LR4

[vicious1 (Ryan)]

That would be cool then everyone that wanted to could print one pretty easily.

[vicious1 (Ryan)]

Well that didn’t come out how I expected…
