MachineInfoBox Example: 3D Printer

Type:	CNC (additive manufacturing)
Material:	1.75 mm filament
Location:	3D printer farm
Access Requirements:	upon introduction
Status:	working
Firmware:	Marlin
Software:	Cura
Tutors:	Mitja, Lukas

We call pretty much all electric devices and big or small power tools "machines" in this wiki. Their pages should contain this InfoBox!

Documentation

To use this template, simply copy this code into your page and enter the relevant parameters:

{{MachineInfoBox
|machine name=
|image=
|synonyms=
|type=
|material=
|location=
|access=
|status=
|firmware=
|software=
|manual=
|tutors=
|used with=
|similar=
}}

Most fields will only be shown when used, so the box can be more or less detailed. Make frequent use of the "Show preview" button and it should be clear.

For example, entering the following leads to the box on the right:

{{MachineInfoBox
|machine name= Example: 3D Printer

|access=upon introduction
|status=working
|type=[[CNC]] (additive manufacturing)
|location=[[3D Printer Farm|3D printer farm]]

Bugs/Future Development

"smart" behavior like color change according to status would be nice
