My side project: free 3D printing tools + a community printer/filament DB. Help me make the data better?

Hey all, I've been building a little side project called MakerBuddy (https://makerbuddy.de) — basically a bunch of free 3D printing tools (STL viewer, cost calculator, gridfinity/skadis generators, keychain maker, QR codes, etc.) plus a growing database of printers and filaments you can browse and compare.

The printer and filament databases are the part I care most about getting right, and honestly they're only as good as the data in them. So two things I'd love help with:

  1. Feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, what would actually make you use it?
  2. The databases — if you spot wrong specs, missing printers/filaments, or stuff that's out of date, you can suggest edits right on the site (free account needed for that, and everything gets reviewed before it goes live). More eyes = better data for everyone.

The tools themselves are free and need no signup — the account's just for contributing to the databases.

Would genuinely appreciate any thoughts, good or brutal.
