I totally understand the need to have download limits so that people aren’t gaming the system, otoh, I would like to keep local copies of everything I’ve stored in collections over time as I print from multiple computers across multiple states.
Having everything stored in my NAS systems just makes sense to me.
Please allow us to download whole collections OR figure out a better solution to deal with creators gaming the downloads
This is a double-edge sword. It would make it trivial to harvest models to post elsewhere.
For things you have printed, yes, but, not for things you have yet to print.
New versions and profile updates occur all the time, you would wish to print the latest version with any flaws rectified.
If you keep everything you print, you will not hit the download limits unless you have a significant number of printers working continuously.
I didn’t know that there were download limits. Does anyone know what the number is?
They have changed it a couple of times.
At one point you could only download five files if you weren’t logged in. They stopped the stupid ability to download if not logged in though.
There was also an “are you human” check if you downloaded more than ten.
I’m not sure what it is currently. I don’t believe it is so low you couldn’t print 24 hours a day with the downloads you do in a day.
