Are these thumbnails AI generated?

Yes, there is.

Edit: Have a good day everyone, I think anyone left here still commenting already somewhat knows my thoughts.

I trust Bambu will make the best decision for the wider userbase, not just those in this thread.

You’re a genius! Also, you’re awesome for showing us the secret… you could have totally kept us believing that your account didn’t have the minumum lol.

I’m no genius.
Some heros don’t wear capes, but I can’t tell who it was that told me how to do it. I don’t want to, and you can’t make me.

If he does, then ok. But I assure you I was not smart enough to figure that out on my own.

Was it @JonRaymond ? I bet it was @JonRaymond …

Hmmmm, seems ā€œlikeā€.

Hey, anyone up for helping other users like we did this pumpkin dragon guy?

Absolutely, which model?

I dunno. I’m saying in general. We happened upon this one.
I thought about starting a ā€œhelp meā€ thread but then decided I’d be responsible for it and I’m not responsible. Ask my kids and wife.

I just enjoyed it a bit. I’ll help, just don’t wanna…be responsible.

Totally agree… I’m on it, searching now.

Well it’s almost bedtime and I have a print going. Can print something tomorrow. Unless (hopefully) someone else joins.

If there’s one that can wait send me a message.

This is such an exaggeration and hyperbole, but it’s not surprising coming from the person that said AI generated model images are a form of psychological abuse.

You misinterpret the point of that, which is a common theme here.

I ended up doing 4 small random ones… it was harder than I thought to find ones with no print profiles.

If I may ask, what are you and @johnfcooley up to?

They are helping out new creators with no print profiles or poor pictures

I did this for a few months, but it ended up sucking up so much time and becoming a thankless job, not that I wanted thanks, but, worse, poor designs were blamed on my profiles not fixing them.

I have been creating print profiles of all kinds of possible and impossible models almost daily for several months.
Everything that catches my eye and doesn’t have a print profile is printed. It may catch my eye because it’s a new user who needs support, it’s simply art in my eyes, or maybe it’s useful for someone else.

Yes, it takes a lot of time - every now and then a young creator gets in touch and thanks me. Those are the nice moments.
Not every print ends in a print profile. With every 3rd or 4th print, it turns out that the model has flaws that are bound to cause trouble. I don’t release this print profile then and give these prints into the loving hands of the waste recycler.

I do this to improve the end user experience. Many people just want to print and without a print profile the models don’t show up in the Bambu mobile app.
There are also Makerworld points. It’s not cost-covering, but it doesn’t need to be.

I’m trying to make the big picture a little better. :slight_smile:

I also noticed that recently. A really horrible print profile and model, got mostly 5 stars. I improved that, strengthened the model (hollow model) and added such print settings to make it more printable. Next, the creator took some of them and published them himself. A few days later, my print profile received its first 4-star rating.
I really meant well so that people don’t print out as much rubbish as was shown in the pictures. But the better option is probably to rate the designer’s print profile accordingly and add suggestions for improvement.

i hope you guys are awarding the points from those profiles to the designer, it’s the right thing to do imo
