OpenBuilds®

Thanks Michael! Very cool of you to offer to do this. At the moment we are backing up docs to Internet Archive and they are also on GitHub As well as this we are actually in talks of working up a budget option so we can keep them hosted on the server side for the next few years. So that would be exciting to have ongoing. Thanks again

@OpenBuilds So I saw the post where you are looking for options on the forum. I'd be more interested in the documentation side of things and where they will land. If I you could share what software being used...I'd like to see what it would cost for hosting

@Mojee3d Thank you, Corey we'll be missing you guys as well! Not sure what the future will be, but stay tuned for more updates, and please feel free to reach out with any questions!

@OpenBuilds Are there any alternative suppliers for these products? I use the c-beam and v-wheels everywhere at work

@Adam8234 Yeah, it’s been a hard one. Thanks for the support—it really means a lot.

@OpenBuilds Dang this sucks

@peepee_p00p00_ Wow—that means the world to us. Thank you for sharing. Stories like yours are exactly why we did what we did. ❤️

@OpenBuilds Thank you guys for everything. I got my first engineering job interview because of the machine I built with your parts. Got hired and it changed my life. ❤️

@MrExocomp Thank you for the kind words. We’re grateful to have been part of the journey.

@OpenBuilds Sad to hear that, hope your team moves onto bigger and better things. Thanks for all the fish

@Afro3dP Thank you—we’re honored to have played a small part in that history. ❤️

@OpenBuilds History has been made 😐

@AadiSalimani Thanks for asking—there’s no single reason, just a complex mix of challenges that led us here. We’ll share more details soon.

@OpenBuilds Noo this is sad, are you able to share the reasons for going out of business?

@Matt_MSZ Yeah, it’s tough. Thanks for riding with us. 💔

@OpenBuilds That sucks

@AbeAllen Thanks so much! Wishing you all the best as well—appreciate the kind words. 💪

@OpenBuilds Good luck on your next steps... I wish you success and prosperity!

@slippyfox Thank you—means a lot to hear that. We're proud of what we built and hopeful for what’s next. 🙏

@OpenBuilds wow, you folks were always a mainstay. I hope your journey continues in other ways.

@roryaronson @farmbotio @roryaronson Rory, thank you! That support in the early days meant so much. You helped spark something big—and we’ll never forget it 🌍❤️

@OpenBuilds Your ecosystem of open parts sparked a lot of imagination over the years and your team was so kind and helpful in the early days of @farmbotio ♥️ Congratulations on 12 great years, you will be missed!

@RadoHunterius @RadoHunterius Your words mean a lot. We're hopeful that the OpenBuilds legacy lives on in the many makers we’ve had the privilege to support 💖

@OpenBuilds Sad news ☹️, kind of understandable, but painful nonetheless. Still hope that some kind of transformation will happens and you will remain operational in some different way.

@THEJATMN @THEJATIMN Appreciate the question! We’re still working out the details regarding the future of the site, documentation, and shared projects. As soon as we know more, we’ll be sure to let the community know.

@OpenBuilds Oh no! 😢 Is the site coming down completely? or will the projects and resources stay online? please dm me.

@nickwiegand @Mark_Carew @nickwiegand That backup BlackBox is going to serve you well, Nick! Thanks for sticking with us from the start 💪

@OpenBuilds @Mark_Carew Sad to hear. I just ordered a backup black box to go with my OG White box.

@WeShallPai @WeShallPai Thank you so much—that’s incredibly kind. We’re still working out the details. Knowing there are people willing to help means the world. We’ll keep the community updated. 🙏

@OpenBuilds Oh dear. Have built many DIY rigs with your parts. If you need help keeping the projects alive on a server please reach out.

@Shiva67394032 @Shiva673943032 Thank you, Shiva. We're still working out the details on where and how OpenBuilds resources and documentation might be preserved. We’ll share updates as soon as we can.

@OpenBuilds Sad to see this. Open build helped makers and creators. Is there any summary/blog we can find why this happened and what next?
