<p>I can't find an answer to this question on the "mother" meta website; hope this is not related to my choice of words in the search box. </p>

<p>The statistics of the <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/">3D Printing</a> on <a href="http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/82438/3d-printing">Area51</a> show that only few items (questions and visits per day) are not up to par and need work. Do those need to reach a level of let's say "okay" before the site can loose the Beta stage?</p>

<p>I'm interested to know what would be the requirements to get out of the Beta stage.</p>

<hr>

<p>Update September 5, 2019:</p>

<p>It appears that the <em>"visits per day"</em> is <em>"excellent"</em> with close to three thousand visits. The "questions per day" still lack behind with a 3.0 value (<em>"needs work"</em>) while more than 5 is considered "healthy". All further stats seem to be <em>"okay"</em> or <em>"excellent"</em>.</p>

This post,
3D Printing SE Beta Status
, by tbm0115 highlights the
three main
sticking points (IMHO clearer than the Area 51 page):
Questions per day
Users vs Reputation
Visits per day
Once those reach the required levels then that should be it. So, there is quite a way to go...

This change in the number of users with
X
reputation is, in part, due to the move from +5 to +10 reputation for upvoted questions on
13 Nov 2019
(see also
Upvotes on questions will now be worth the same as upvotes on answers
).

Additional points of note
The stats above aren't really the be all to end all... there are a few other considerations that I came across here,
in this answer
, to
“Graduation” of this Community
:
A number of 10k+ users (
n
> 3 ) are required to access mod tools
A number of 3k+ users (
n
> 10 ) are required to be able to fully vote
The final hurdle
The main sticking point, according to this meta post on Ethereum,
Congratulations! Ethereum is graduating!
, is 10 questions per day, which we are a long way from, and seems to be the last remaining issue. A link (
Graduation, site closure, and a clearer outlook on the health of SE sites
) from the Ethereum meta post to Meta.SE states:
When a site starts to consistently receive 10 questions/day, we’ll consider it for graduation.
No graduation, but losing the Beta label...
Apart from graduation, SE management has recognised that small sites (with an active community) struggle to reach the 10 questions/day consistently. For sites that have been waiting to get out of Beta by graduation for 7-8 years, SE has decided to drop the Beta label. Please see
Congratulations to our 29 oldest beta sites - They're now no longer beta!
