Asked to remove simple models

Received the following message from makerworld


has anyone else had any experience with this?
if I had to guess it would be my car silhouettes but they are all made by me no AI and they are all requested by members of makerworld, either on makerworld itself of Bambu’s Facebook page which surly goes to show that even though they are not everyone’s thing they are wanted models, some of them have hundreds of downloads with 5 star reviews.

Just WOW. Are they serious? I’d prefer they concentrate on the blatant copy/paste thieves and cull them before something whimsical as a “low-quality” model. Wow.

Edit. You have a lot, but honestly you’ve posted them as per the rules with printed images with a description of sorts. Who did you upset huh?

exactly, yes they may be simple models but at least they are all my own models.

my guess is it would be a automated thing that just scans new uploads or something, and because I will make a few over a couple days then upload them all at once I’m guessing I got flagged.

Makerworld penalizes quality content by cutting rewards and now forces the removal of “low-quality” content? I wonder what will be left…

At least they should name the designs which they don’t like to be here.

My guess is that soon they will only accept uploads from premium subscribers to maker world.
I’m seeing this as they will introduce some sort of paid membership/ subscription and there will be limits on how many uploads user can do per month based on the tier he pays for. So basically they don’t have to spend big money on the rewards. Creators will provide the marketing budget for that.

Hey, i think their main problem is the spamming factor.

For example your silhouette wall arts. I noticed them when you uploaded them, and my honest reaction was - Oh no, another spammer. Because each and every model is just a “simple” silhouette. My reaction would have been differently if it was a pack of models. Like Keychains, etc.

If we take the keychain as example, i would be really annoyed if the author uploaded every single item as a standalone model. But he grouped them nicely and i see a matching collection, that i like.

The author also has a lot of other packs.

IIRC, there was also a recommendation regarding grouping these. I also follow this with my models for example a box set.

I think if you would combine them, it will not be a problem. But it currently feels like the uploads some users do where they upload the full alphabet/numbers with each letter/number as single model.

i was in the process of adding them all to one file to upload but then they changed the rule where you get a download for each plate printed to one download no matter how many plates, so sempt a bit pointless for 230+ plates.

I mean, they gave pretty little info on what models have what issues. BUT, as they talking about the quality of the them, I think some of them are pretty wild. I can see why they flag some of them as low quality.

not ganna lie i printed some smaller to get them online then went back and changed the pictures to better quality ones as i had chance. clearly i missed some but they will print better than that as they all use the same profile which as been tested a lot.

if bbl want to sell filament, I can see why they would object to these. :grinning: You need to make 1 ft cubes with solid infill.
