So worth the effort for 5 points.

Ah ok, I was not completely sure.
Hi everyone!
Boost Tokens are here to stay. After the update in March 2025, the Boost system has not changed since then — it continues to focus on celebrating ambitious, thoughtfully engineered designs.
Here’s a quick guide on how to earn them (up to 3 per week!):
1. How you Boost matters 
Supporting complex, well-documented models increases your chances of earning more tokens next week. (Tip: Exclusively boosting very simple models may gradually reduce your token rewards).
2. Be an active Maker 
Your print time on MakerWorld models (using Bambu Lab printers), helpful comments, and print profile ratings drive your token rewards.
Quick Facts:
-
Tokens are for supporting creators; they cannot be bought.
-
Uploading designs or liking models is great community behavior, but doesn’t strictly guarantee new tokens.
-
Issued on Mondays. Expire in 28 days. Check your balance: Avatar → Boost Token
Printing a lot but no tokens?
-
You must start prints directly from MakerWorld (not just local files).
-
LAN-only, SD-card, and Incognito prints cannot be tracked.
Fair Play Note: Accounts flagged for abuse (like mutual-boosting rings) may face restrictions. If you think this was a mistake, open a support ticket—we’re happy to help!

My account is not flagged for anything (from what I’ve been told in a support ticket), but I don’t see a token since almost an year.
Opening a ticket solved anything, all you get is the generic answer you just wrote here so… why even telling people to do so, to ■■■■ them off even more? 
They are still working, but are really rare. I didnt got Boost Tokens sind about 1 year.
That’s me! I used to boost models that are useful, well executed, and cleverly solve a problem, that haven’t received many boosts or ratings already. That doesn’t always mean a large and complex model. Now I don’t boost them, because I have not gotten any boost tokens to give away since last year. I’m an active community member (print a lot, rate profiles, add comments, post new models every few weeks), but I think that past “bad behavior” has caused the algorithm to stop giving me boost tokens.
Oh well 
I’m just sad I can’t reward people that way anymore. It feels good to give or receive a boost!
@MakerWorld I have to agree here, I just got another cookie-cutter response to a ticket about this. I also have not seen a boost in 6 months.
Now you have to choose between the models you like and are useful for you or the models BL likes.
I made my choice. MY choice.

Ok well i download the files i want to print in order to print them later rather than printing them right there and then
I would agree that this is the case. I am a designer and print my own stuff much more than that from others and get almost no boosts to hand out. However, I have a few models that would fit the definition of being “complex, well-documented models”. Those models tend to get a steady stream of boosts from those who print them, seemingly in proportion to the numbers being printed, and in proportion to the number of 5 star ratings and positive comments.

Idk why I seem to have the opposite problem as everyone else. I can’t seem to get rid of my boost tokens fast enough. However I do only boost models I truly like. Models that are done well or are just interesting to me. I just came back from vacation to 6 more boost tokens. I don’t even know what to boost.
Spend them all on me. Thanks.
