A lot of stolen designs are being uploaded

Do a seach on any 3D Printing site for Grogu or Baby Yoda… all Disney IP.

Yeah I get it… I’m just saying that I don’t think modelers should be able to steal IP and then set that model to no derivatives. It’s not logical to me but it is what it is.

I think AI could be a great help in this case, differentiating between genuine remixes, and… junk.

It could vastly reduce the workload of trying to police this sort of thing manually.

If someone feels like their upload has been unfairly… demoted? Then they could make an appeal. Only then would a human have to take a look at it, and judge if the person is trying to game the system, or is sharing their work in good faith (crappy or not).

I would suggest you look into “Transformative” media. This is also found under Fair Use, along with the Parody you mentioned, and Education/Information distribution.

So long as the medium is not a carbon copy, and is different in some way to the original IP, it is classed as transformative media and has different rules applied to it. Usually listed as “Fan Art”, which can be freely shared but not sold. So the proper license for such works is “ShareAlike/remix allowed/noncommercial”.

I’m not a lawyer so don’t know the full technicalities of it, but my grandfather was, and advised me prior to sharing any of my models.

That makes sense, and coincides with what I was saying. I have no problems with people creating models based on IP; they just shouldn’t/don’t have the right to say that said model cannot be remixed.

Maybe the rewards points earned by the remix should be split 50% for the original designer, 50% for the remixer… (for those on makerworld obviously)

I think a lot of point hoarders wil just not give credit anymore if this is inplenmented

funny how you claim its not okay here but dont care on other threads…

I never said it was okay, you should start learning to read.
I said it’s not okay to steal designs, but my main goal is to point out your hypocrisy of blaming others while doing the same or worse. :clown_face:


looks to me like you are saying its just fine here… what a troll,. making fun of others is not accepted here. or calling others hyprocit or whatever is not either. and i never blamed anyone of doing anything i did wrong here… so idk what your talking about. grow up and get a life

You should learn to understand the difference between morality and rules.
In our world, there are many things that are immoral but not punished by the rules/laws.
So yes, stealing design/picture is immoral, but stealing picture wasn’t against the rules 2 months ago (so not punish), and stealing design is still in a gray area (Is a model different enough to be considered a remix?).
I should be paid to teach you all these things every day, but people like you will end up crying and screaming mansplaining.

nah i dont cry. i just report people like you thats all. we dont need this kind of behaviour here, thank you. also the rules where there 2 months ago you just dont want to comply and admit it

Hi, sorry to bump in here, I don’t have a bambu yet, but I’m considering one (P1 or X1), seeing so many positive reviews regarding quality and speed.

However, one thing that (still) keeps me away is the cloud thing.
Everyone is talking on this thread about “designs being uploaded”, but nobody is mentioning that as long as you use bambu software “as intended”, ALL your designs go to bambu cloud, with no exception.

Even if you work offline (which from what I understand, disables a lot of features) - you have no guarantee that your designs are not going to bambu servers during the seconds/minutes of doing updates etc.

I am not insinuating bambu behaviour at company level, but a single “bad actor” employee is enough for your designs to go public, with or without “LAN Only” enabled (that is not a guarantee, it is a button).
I “don’t mind” having my designs public, if I decide to do so, but I do mind finding my designs on aliexpress.

So my questions here are: can you use a bambu P1 or X1 completely offline?
Can you do firmware updates completely offline? (as in, download, put on usb/sd card - update)
Can you use their bambu studio completely offline?
Can you print via a wifi local network that has no access to internet (separate router with local ip only)?

Thank you, and looking forward for any help or idea on this matter.

Designers won’t share their models if stealing is acceptable, and makerlab would die down

this is not the right place where to ask this question. there are other threads and sections where you can ask the right question but the thread you posted in is not, thank you

Terribly sorry, I had no idea where to ask.
My questions are closely related to the idea of “stolen designs”. The only reason I asked was to determine if I have any chance to “protect” designs, so they don’t get “stolen”.

oh no worries its all good

The stolen designs in this regard are really referencing people that have explicitly made their models available online and then someone adds to Makerworld as their own. Bambu doesn’t automatically post models that are printed to Makerworld, the end user has to go through the steps to do so.

I didn’t ask if bambu is automatically “posting” anything.
I asked if there is a solution to guarantee that designs do not reach the bambu servers, if the P1/X1 owner wishes so (as per my 4 questions above).

If nobody knows the answer to any of the 4 questions, I am sorry to have bothered. I guess I will have to ask elsewhere.

  1. Yes (Not connected at all - using micro SD card) / Yes (Connected to a router but not to the Internet)
  2. Actually No
  3. Yes
  4. Yes
