MakerDraw is ready for beta testing. If you're a maker or 3D printing streamer on Twitch or YouTube and want early access to a giveaway tool built for this community, I'm looking for testers. We also made last month's funding goal just in time. Hoping to get there sooner this month.
<p class="mb 2" MakerDraw is more or less ready. The giveaway platform built for maker and 3D printing streamers is at the point where I need to start testing it live. The plan is to do a stream to put it through its paces, and after that open up a beta for wider testing.</p <p class="mb 2" That's where you come in. I'm looking for beta testers.</p <p class="mb 2" If you're a streamer on Twitch or YouTube and want to try running giveaways with MakerDraw during your streams, I want to hear from you. This is early access, so things might break and rough edges are expected. But that's the whole point. The more people testing it, the better it'll be when it launches properly.</p <p class="mb 2" If you're interested, send me a message on TinkerAtlas or any platform we're both on.</p <p class="mb 2" <strong What Is MakerDraw?</strong </p <p class="mb 2" For those catching up, MakerDraw is a giveaway and competition platform built into TinkerAtlas, designed for maker and 3D printing streamers. Instead of a generic spinner wheel, winners are picked by a 3D printer extruder animation. The extruder spins up, names scroll on a filament strand, gears accelerate to a blur, then slow down and lock onto the winner. Celebration particles and synthesized printer sounds included.</p <p class="mb 2" Streamers get a simple setup wizard, OBS ready overlays, Twitch and YouTube chat integration, and an analytics dashboard. Once viewers have linked their TinkerAtlas account to Twitch or YouTube, entering is as simple as typing a command in chat. No extra steps for every new giveaway.</p <p class="mb 2" More details coming soon as we get into testing.</p <p class="mb 2" <strong Funding</strong </p <p class="mb 2" We made it to 100% last month, just in time. Thank you to everyone who made that happen. I can't overstate how much it means.</p <p class="mb 2" We're in a new funding month now, and I'm hoping we don't cut it that close again. Every contribution goes straight to keeping the site running. The server, the devtools, the platform. None of it is a paycheck for me. I haven't taken one since I started building TinkerAtlas in July 2025.</p <ul <li <p class="mb 2" <strong PayPal</strong ā <a target=" blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text blue 600 hover:text blue 800 dark:text blue 400 dark:hover:text blue 200 underline cursor pointer transition colors" href="https://paypal.me/makerviking" https://paypal.me/makerviking</a </p </li <li <p class="mb 2" <strong Ko Fi</strong ā <a target=" blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text blue 600 hover:text blue 800 dark:text blue 400 dark:hover:text blue 200 underline cursor pointer transition colors" href="https://ko fi.com/tinkeratlas" https://ko fi.com/tinkeratlas</a </p </li <li <p class="mb 2" <strong TinkerAtlas+</strong ā <a target=" blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="text blue 600 hover:text blue 800 dark:text blue 400 dark:hover:text blue 200 underline cursor pointer transition colors" href="https://tinkeratlas.com/pricing" https://tinkeratlas.com/pricing</a (lifetime accounts at $199 ā only 4 left)</p </li </ul <p class="mb 2" If you support via Ko Fi or PayPal, I manually add TA+ perks to your account.
