The All-New FireShare is Live🔥

[langmuir-zack]

Hey Everyone,

Big day for us. After months of work (and years of listening to your requests in this forum), the all-new FireShare is officially LIVE!

What’s new

Files for every Langmuir machine, not just plasma. FireShare now supports project files across the whole lineup: plasma, laser, MR-1 milling, and 3D printing. DXF, SVG, STL, 3MF, STEP, Fusion files, G-code. If you make it, there’s a home for it now.

Actually finding what you’re looking for. All-new search plus filters for machine, process, material, category, and license. Want aluminum projects for the MR-1? Trending and recently-added sections on the home page so you can see what the community is cooking up.

The big one: the Seller Dashboard, powered by Stripe. You told us you wanted more ways to engage with the community and support the creators behind your favorite projects. Creators can now sell designs under a commercial license and earn on every download.

Setup is simple: click “Become a Seller,” connect your payout account through Stripe (takes a few minutes), upload your design, set your price. Stripe handles the secure payouts straight to your bank. Your dashboard shows your sales, earnings, and payout schedule in real time.

And here’s the part we want to be really clear about:

Free files stay free. Forever. The thousands of free community projects you’ve shared over the years aren’t going anywhere, and nothing about the free side of FireShare changes. Selling is a new option, not a requirement. Share for free, sell commercially, or do both.

A quick word on the commission

To help cover the costs of the server space, we will charge a small commission on paid sales — but not a lot, and it goes down as you sell more:

• New sellers: 15%
• Established ($1,000+ in sales): 12%
• Top sellers ($5,000+ in sales): 8%

Every sale shows you the exact math in your dashboard.

Final Note

FireShare has always been powered by this community — every file shared, every comment, every post. This rebuild is our way of saying we heard you. It’s a marketplace now, sure, but at its heart it’s the same thing it’s always been: makers helping makers.

Go check it out, kick the tires, and tell us what you think in this thread. Found a bug? Post it. Have an idea? We’re listening, that’s how we got here. Open to any and all feedback. Or if there are more and different ways you want to engage with the community and other makers.

We can’t wait to see what you create.

This is an exciting announcement. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out for users.

Looks pretty cool. I hadn’t looked on Fireshare in a while, like the new formatt.

[ChelanJim]

I like it but I was hoping that fireshare might allow the creator to edit a listing. I am always tweaking any design and finding fault and improvements with said design.

That is the primary reason I stopped submitting projects.

@ChelanJim

allow the creator to edit a listing

This This feature would be super helpful and stop multiple posting of the same project to fix design mistakes or mistakes when posting.

[holla2040]

@ChelanJim

allow the creator to edit a listing

Really, you can’t edit a listing? well, that’s lame.

[langmuir-mikeg]

We spoke with our developer and he stated he added this feature based on your feedback, today. Please give it a try and let us know if it is not working for you. Thanks for the feedback!!

[ChelanJim]

Very happy with this change. I just edited a project that has been bothering me for quite awhile. Here is a screen grab to show how easy it is. You go to your “Projects” and click on the three dots to the right of the item you want to edit:

You will need to fill in a few answers that were previously not asked: 2d size, time, metal thickness and perhaps a few others. Then click SAVE Changes at the bottom of the page.

Perfect!!!

[langmuir-mikeg]

Keep the ideas coming!

Next we need basic formatting in the description instead of one long run-on blob of text. Line breaks would be the most simple visual help. Simple things like that have been pretty obvious from the start. Thank you for adding editing, badly needed.

To continue this, I see that description text, Download button, everything on the right panel is cut off on the right side of my one project. I don’t notice that with other projects yet.

Did everyone else lose their favorites from the old Fireshare? I used that to bookmark things I wanted to try out.

[john_s]

My favorites are empty as well with the new version.

[holla2040]

I suspect that this was overlooked during the migration. The developer just needs to export/import and wire that in.

[rpcraft]

Well, that is interesting but I have to admit I would be a lot more excited for updated Fire Control software with the ability to add some basic geometric shapes and sizes and not having to do even those basic operations in some other CAD package. Not complaining, just thinking that might be a big productivity bucket list item for many. It seems to be one of those things folks complain about a fair amount when comparing things.

[langmuir-mikeg]

Interesting - thanks for sending that feedback…we sent that over to our developer today. I’m sure he can fix that quickly. Thank you again for sending that snapshot!

[langmuir-mikeg]

stay tuned…

Number one bring back or tell me how to get it back all my saved favorites from the old fire share

Number two when looking through the new fireshare I set my filters that pulls up what I want to look at, but if you tap on one of the files, it opens that file up and when you close it and click the back to browse button, it goes back to the files you were looking at, but it delete your filters.

Number three when you are looking at products and you click on one to look at either to save as a favorite or just go back when you go back fire share goes all the way back to the first page instead of taking you back to the page that you were on to continue looking at other products. This is very annoying.

Number four is there a way to save your favorites to a file on your own computer so that you don’t lose them as I seem to have done once you changed to the new fire share?

If This all seems stupid. I apologize for that I’m an old fart and my brain doesn’t work like the younger generation.

Thank You

@Customcut I moved your comment to this thread since one of your issues was losing your “favorites.” That has been discussed here and the resolution might appear here first.

To give you an idea for browsing, so you don’t need to keep formatting your ‘filter’ settings during a given session:

Don’t left click on a link. Instead, right click on the link and “open in new tab or new window.” Either method will keep your search page untouched. To get back to your search tab, just click on that tab and you will be right back where you came from (filters intact).

For your desire to save favorites to your computer, not sure of a ‘favorites list’ procedure but many people have a file system. You can create that on your desktop by right clicking on an empty space and “Create a new folder”. Name it something like FireShare Projects. When you download files, you can specify them to go to this new folder. To keep it organized, you can make multiple sub-folders as you are saving the files.

Additionally, your browser will have a method to add any webpage to your browser favorite. Ask Google how to do it for your preferred browser. It is a simple task but that “favorites” list can get quite crowed if you don’t keep it organized, again, with some subfolders.

Welcome to the forum.

[langmuir-mikeg]

I passed this feedback to our developer…we’ll see if he can sort out some or all of these requests.

What use to be a cool free community with people sharing the same machines will soon be taken over by accounts just trying to make a buck. What a shame.
