MakerDoc Build Guide Builder

3.30

Derivation Chain

Step 1 From Scratch (DIY/self-build) trend expansion
Step 2 Increasing content production in maker communities
Step 3 Project documentation and sharing tool

Problem

When makers who have completed From Scratch projects try to share their process on blogs or communities, they spend an average of 4-6 hours per project on photo organization, circuit diagram insertion, BOM table creation, and step-by-step formatting. Non-developer makers in particular are unfamiliar with Markdown or HTML and often give up on creating quality documentation.

Solution

Drag and drop project photos in order and AI automatically recognizes build steps through image analysis. Attach BOM lists, circuit diagrams, and 3D model files for automatic rendering into structured build guides. Supports one-click export to Naver Blog, Instructables, GitHub, and more.

Target: Electronics, woodworking, and 3D printing makers ages 20-40; makerspace instructors; DIY YouTubers and bloggers
Revenue Model: Premium SaaS at 39,000 KRW (~$29)/month per account (unlimited projects, AI documentation), Free Plan limited to 2 projects/month.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
