I’m not going to argue with random people on this internet, especially when the OP’s main model is a remix of a fidget that has been around for at least a year.
I know this since I printed it out a year ago.
The only point I was trying to make was that Makerworld.com is not meant as a revenue source Thangs.com, build a following and start a Patreon are ways to monetize your models.
I can make a Lithophane or 2D art using multiple programs and get the same effect as their offering. One of way I can earn points the other is to just share, as I don’t care about points and just want to share models.
Want more exposure, enter contests and there are many threads on how to make your model stand out.
The people who have made tutorials for walk through AI generated models and use them, well if they print out like garabe it will show in the ratings.
You will never be able to stop it…
I find exclusive models are always on my front page.
It’s only a matter of time before it becomes much easier as AI is not going anywhere.
If I use AI or take an image made by someone else’s LLM and make it into a Hueforge image should it be unavailable, even though I had to use multiple software programs to make it?
Then again I don’t even know how to cut and object vertically in Bambu Studio and there are a tonne of tutorials on everything.
Different strokes for different folks. What I like most about BBL and the reason why I own 2 P1S then the A1 is the ease of use and makerworld.com is the best platform.
Had a Creality V3 KE then the K1C and returned them and am happy with my printers, and I have had no problems with changing extruders, hotends and other issues.
The cream always rising to the top.
AI models are here to stay.
There was a period of time about a year ago when a person could rack up points and buy a X1C but it ended once the word spread.
Not going to argue with anyone.
