<p>Half a year passed since <a href="https://3dprinting.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/tag-maintenance-summer-2019">Tag Maintenance Summer 2019</a>. A lot was done, some wasn't, so cleanup and rinse and repeat: Let's do some tag maintenance, especially regarding printers to make them easier to read. Use an answer to propose a change, merge or split. Discussions for each change should go into the comments of each change.</p>

<p>Some things are easier than others: </p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Renaming</strong> a tag can be done with mod tools.</li>
<li><strong>Alias/Synonyms</strong> are reasonably quick, often follow along renaming</li>
<li>Some tags need <strong>manual (separation)</strong>.  Sifting through what is and what isn't this tag has to be done to separate the stuff. It can be noisy to the front site but has to be done.</li>
</ul>
