if you had read the whole discussion you would know it’s not about the points, money, … It’s about reputation and quality of the own work. you don’t have to agree but you also do not have to write text with no valuable content.
all your “sell your stuff” or “don’t upload your models” comments are exactly the same as the profiles I do not need added to my models. they are not valuable and show that you do not understand the topic.
you still don’t get it… THIS IS A FEATURE REQUEST TO MAKE SOMETHING BETTER AND TARGETS MAKERWORLD ONLY!
comments about “go to another site” do not help in any case. makerworld is still in beta and appreciates such requests. what are you doing here in the forum if you don’t like it? it seems it’s your ego and not mine!
I’m a professional product owner / solution designer / lead developer and this is exactly my business → finding benefits to improve the user experience. here I’m also a user who want’s to have some new features where everyone benefits. my feature whish does not make anything worse. also it does not prevent anything in your personal doing.
…but all what you do is argumenting → “dont get here”, “dont upload any model”, “go to another site”… you absolutely miss the point the discussion is about and your comments do not contribute anything which helps to the topic.
@Basti85 take the negative reactions with a grain of salt. Many of them are probably profiting off of the print profiles they are spamming. Spammers are heavily incentivized to keep control away from the model creators, and they’ll fight tooth and nail to prevent this feature. Don’t get too upset, that’s just the way it is, currently.
I think giving the Designer the option to do Quality Assurance and policing of their own design’s print profiles is essential. However from Bambu’s perspective it may mean less print profile uploads (since many could be disapproved or ignored by the designer). To keep the site healthy from Bambu’s point of view they should probably add a couple of restrictions to this feature:
Only allow a Designer to opt-in to moderating print profiles if the model already has a print profile. This incentivizes model creators who want full control to also upload a print profile.
Disallow removal/hiding of the last print profile. Again, if a Designer wants full control, they have to leave a print profile in place for people to download.
Auto-approve new print profiles after a set period of time (30 days for example). There’s a danger that Designers become inactive. At that point new print profiles for future printers could not be approved. This is awful from Bambu’s perspective. If Bambu releases new printer Z1 or whatever then new print profiles might not get uploaded that include settings for their new printer.
Move all of the Designer’s uploads to opt-out if they haven’t been logged in for a set period of time (6 months for example). This allows completely inactive accounts to revert their models to community control for the same reason as above, removing the 30 day waiting period for auto approval.
I think these restrictions on print profile moderation are reasonable, and will help keep the community and makerworld healthier overall.
This is all aside from the legally dubious problem that print profiles contain a modified copy of the model, even when the Designer’s license expressly forbids distributing modified copies. So giving Designers control over their own derivative works may help keep Bambu out of a legally precarious position. But that’s a topic for a totally different forum post.
your pissed about this profile? then just report it, that persons profile is no different than your profiles. layer height isnt enough of change to warrant a new profile according to everything that has been discussed here over and over.
thx @Moez for contributing! yeah you are right - havn’t thought about the trolls who may see a danger in my post
you are absolutely right. these additionaly rules you just mentioned will complete my first requirements if you don’t mind I will wait a while and try to create a single post mentioning all these requirements as user-story for bambu.
…this is exactly what I wanted - a meaningfull discussion for creating a new meaningfull feature!
and @Dukester → no I’m not pissed about Alex’s profile. I’m doing the exact opposite. I’m also recommending one of his models in another model as it is making something different better. and yes - I also wrote to him because in his first version of the profile you mentioned there was no indication about the fitting in the profile and asked for renaming and he did. I still would name it differently but this is not the point here (btw → there are changes but you do not see them. material & printing speed he changed manually). so you see - I’m in contact with some people and do not want to have all the points by my own. I just want to be able to have more rights regarding the print profile management and I’m not the only one…
I 100% agree with @Basti85 and would very much like to manage my own profiles. I have people who literally just download my object’s print profile, then upload the exact same to my object. I just worry that some folks may get confused when they see so many profiles and not know the differences-- not to mention the subtleties of different settings that I’ve made in order to make a print work correctly. And, no, I’m not going to take the time to download other profiles and walk through each and every setting to see if they are correct.
Just getting Bambu support to respond to an exisitng issue takes long enough, but to have them have to track down profile spamming too? Nope. Just let the creators manage the print profiles of their own creations.
Another spamming profile of my model: Not only does this guy gang up all the models on one sheet, creating a 26+ hr print that if something goes wrong it kills the whole thing, he also uses tree supports when the design was specifically created to not need supports.
Not only that, when the model doesn’t print correctly then I (not he) has to deal with the frustrated customer and low ranking in the comments below.
nice idears, i also have a adittion to this, I think it would be useful if makerworld would automatically add the profile made for A1 mini to for example A1 because it will also work on A1 mini because its even bigger.
This should work like that already. Any A1 Mini profile should print on the A1/P1/X1, and any P1/X1 profile can print on the A1(full)/P1/X1, and any A1 profile will currently only print on the the A1
Really needs to allow use to moderate our own uploaded model, it makes no sense for other to add and take over.
I have different revision model update. The foreign copy contains the old revision that needs to be removed. We have no control on that and that lead to people complaining the issue they don’t realize they are print from an old profile uploaded by someone.
Just wanted to resurrect this thread because MakerWorld recently added User Blocking on MakerWorld, and I wanted to share the results of an experiment in regard to Print Profiles.
TL;DR: You can’t block someone who posted a print profile on one of your models. It does not work.
A friend who has their own account and I just tested it, he added a profile with garbage cad to one of my models. I blocked him. nothing changed. the profile still appeared, I could still click it and see his profile, and not do anything about the additional print profile.
This anything-goes policy is hurting MakerWorld and the designers who spend time designing these models. One popular model of mine attracted someone who trash-talked the model and settings and put up a model that has caused failed prints and even crashes Bambu Studio for some users, guess who they blame? ME. Each user who has downloaded it has PM’d me to tell me the profile has problems, and one posted a negative review (not a rating) I asked that person to remove it and they did, but it’s all because one user is allowed to post whatever they want. I’ve already reported it twice and gotten no response.
