<p>I noticed that the most popular tag (82 questions tagged) is <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/3d-printer">3d-printer</a>, and that we also have a <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/3d-printing">3d-printing</a> tag (23 questions). These seem extremely redundant to me, given that they <em>should</em> apply to any question that is on-topic and thus serve no practical purpose. These tags are simply too broad.</p>

<p>The usage guidance for 3d-printer is quite board ("Questions about a specific brand, model, or type of 3D printer.") and 3d-printing does not even have one.</p>

<p>I would suggest to get rid of these tags. For comparison, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/tags">Stack Exchange</a> does not have a programming tag either. However, they do have various tags that end in "-programming", such as "functional-programming", "linear-programming", etc... Our equivalents would be fdm(-printing), sla(-printing),...</p>
