Stackoverflow for 3D printers?

Like "solidoodle jams after 15 minutes printing". And then people would give their advice, best/most successful answers getting upvoted.

Not quite sure what you're getting at. Stack overflow refers to a situation in computing, where an interrupt, or exception causes data to be stored onto an area of memory and an associated memory pointer is incremented, in the process, becomes corrupted and points to an erroneous memory space. A stack overflow usually happens when a multitude of interrupts occurs very quickly and the firmware cannot react quickly enough. Even so, tests can be made in the firmware to detect the condition and code written to ensure that system performance "gracefully degrades". So far as I'm aware 3D printers don't generally suffer from this problem. If they do, the firmware is either badly written, badly tested or both.

There are lots of forums out there that address the issues you are talking about. I don't know about this up vote deal, but based in responses and revelence is how it is usually rated.
I believe that is what you meant by stack overflow.
I wonder if there's an opportunity to centralize these disparate forums.
What works so well about stackoverflow.com is that whatever my question is (in regards to comp programming) I know that I can go to stackoverflow to get a good answer. I don't need to go digging through a bunch of different forums.
Perhaps next time you ask a question, you'll think about what you're going to ask before you start typing.
i was just asking a friendly question..
Jams can be caused by many things. Are you using a spool of filament? Some spools have contamination in them that blocks the nozzle. Some times the print head has an issue with the liner being distorted that jams the filament. Sometimes the filament drive gets full of particles and it cannot grip the filament. If the nozzle is too close to the bed the liquid filament can back up in the nozzle and freeze causing a jam. If its jamming on the first layer probably a good possibility. Best way to proceed is to thoroughly clean the extruder and drive system recheck the bed clearance to nozzle and try again. If you are using a new spool of material switch back to one that has performed well. Hope this help.
As regards the potential of a similar format for 3D printing questions, it seems to be a good idea to me. Most of the information online seems to be on manufacturer's own forums at the moment, with one or two exceptions, and I'm sure that general ( non-printer-specific ) information, such as the tips you give above, probably appears in a hundred different places right now. It would be useful to have a central repository for this kind of info. Personally, I find that a quick Google or YouTube search usually turns up what I need but I think I'd probably bookmark such a site and, depending how well it's organised, I could at least potentially use it extensively.
