Interesting and useful article, but:

> If you are new to 3D printing and/or CAD for 3D printing, this is not the right article for you.

I feel like I would have been fine with this article about a week into my 3d printing journey.

Original author here. Thanks for the feedback.

I always find it hard to determine what audience is appropriate for what I write. In this case I specifically didn't want to spend time on explaining what I consider basic terminology, and as deep as I am into 3D printing it can be hard to know what is at what level.

I don't think it's important to specify the target audience's required knowledge or level.

I often start to read article outside of my knowledge/competences and yes, often stop because I'm lost in terminology and don't want to read further.

But, it also happens that I want to know more and discover what specialists consider "basic knowledge".

This is the exact pattern that made me want to read your text. I knew vase mode existed but never cared for it because it's outside of my requirements for 3d printing.

Now I know and you explained it perfectly!

Just leave that remark out. You're likely to be wrong for the majority of readers. Just let the reader decide whether the article is right or wrong for them.
