Suggestion for 3D Hubs Widget to reduce confusion

Fargo3D · 2016-01-26T00:06:40.000Z

My hub has multiple printers that print the same color of the same material. For example, Blue PLA on a Replicator 2, Replicator 5th Gen, LulzBot Mini, LulzBot TAZ, etc.

Could there be a way to reduce the number of color options that populate in the Color dropdown to just one for each color? Then have a third dropdown for 3D Printer selection?

I am currently getting a lot of complaints from potential customers that they don’t know which color to select, and frankly I can’t blame them. I’ve attached a screenshot of what a customer sees when they are trying to choose a color.

Anyone else have suggestions on how this could be improved?

3D Hubs: any chance on a remedy for this coming soon? Any suggestions for what I should do in the meantime?

Hey @Fargo3D thanks for raising this issue. We’re well aware of it and have it on our roadmap as something we will fix. I’ll keep you informed.

Best, Pete

@petervl, I don’t suppose you have an eta on implementing a fix? I love the widget and it’s what kept me on 3D Hubs vs. going to another online print quoting tool.
