Ever wondered what base
configuration your peers prefer? Who likes what and why?
A few weeks ago we asked our
Community to participate in a poll and share their favorite base types. In
exchange for two minutes of their time, they got a special discount code to use
in our store (What? You didn't know we did cool stuff like that? You should
hang out in the Community more often!).
We asked them lots of questions about their favorite base materials and they didn't let us down.
