On most model pages, there’s a list of models on the right, under Print Profiles. I’ve not found a way to select and print those. I’m missing something simple!
For example, on Easy Split - PTFE Y-Splitter by ByteSlinger - MakerWorld there is Highly Optimized PETG on the right. How do I select and downloaat?
You just select the one you want before hitting the big green button.
When you have selected the specific profile it highlights in grey.
The selection.
Once selected.
After pressing the big green button.
The selected profile will now be opened in BS.
Alternatively, you could have selected download THAT 3mf or THAT STL.
I recall seeing suggestions elsewhere to use a more prominent color to highlight the selected profile.
The current gray color is too subtle.
OK, thanks! I see that if I lower my head to look at my monitor straight on. At a downwards angle, it’s all but invisible.
Are you saying the yoga workout isn’t beneficial while trying to see the selection colour?
Website design is not everyone’s forte. And it takes some experience in handling and developing GUIs to design a flawless interface that every user can get along with. Yoga has absolutely nothing to do with this, this comment is superfluous.
You are completely wrong as it is a valid parody of an annoying situation.
Wrong again.
I’m guessing you are a failed web designer with a chip on his shoulder. It is a shame as you listed software and hardware engineering as your vocation.
Now being serious for a moment. Making light of annoying situations where users cannot easily see something is not only warranted, it is good for morale.
Good UI and web design aren’t difficult, the fact so many don’t bother putting in any effort or themselves in the position of the user is the sad state of affairs these days.
The weird thing is, that the MW site is a decent portal website with some well-implemented features.
The fact that the site is better than many others that perform similar actions doesn’t mean it is perfect and shouldn’t mean it can’t be criticised or improved.
Being annoyed that you don’t get the joke is strange though.
Text ist seit Anbeginn der Zeit des Chattens in öffentlichen Räumen ein Thema für sich. Daran hat sich bis heute gar nichts geändert. An Textnachrichten sind schon Beziehungen kaputt gegangen, obwohl der Verfasser es eigentlich anders meinte.
Ein Doktor auf seinem Fachgebiet gab mir mal einen Denkanstoß, als ich ihm in einem Gespräch ähnliches entgegensetzte, wie Sie. Er sagte: es kommt nicht drauf an, was Sie gemeint haben, es kommt darauf an, wie das Gesagte beim Gegenüber verstanden und aufgenommen wird.
Deshalb übersetze ich den Text jetzt auch nicht, weil ich ihn so meine, wie ich ihn geschrieben habe.
Freundliche Grüße!
Well, now you know why, lol.
Bit of a necro, sorry ;p
I select a differnt option in the Right hand side and it constantly only lets me download the original (ie top of the list) stl / step file etc. For whatever reason the 3mf do download the different versions but the files always have errors
Welcome to the forum.
Can you provide links to makerworld models you are having issue with?
Hi there. I’m having a similar issue when looking at the model “Compact Foldable Phone Stand” by Pork3D.
When I click on the print profile named “V1.1 Optimal High Quality 0.16mm layer, 2 walls, 30% infill” released 2025-02-24 and click on the green “Download STL/CAD Files” button, I’m presented with the file “Compact Foldable Phone Stand 001.stl” dated 2024-06-26. It is the same file regardless of which print profile I select.
I’ve observed the exact same behavior with the model “Cable Organizer” by Dio765. Let me know if you need more information, and thanks for your help!
Welcome to the forum.
I’m not exactly sure I’m following.
The model file will be the same. It’s the slicer settings that change in the print profile.
Not always the case – e.g. some of my textured fidget cubes have different patterns that have been uploaded as different print profiles, so there are distinct models for each.
I mean you shouldn’t really be above your monitor in the first place, thats not really how you’re meant to be using it, general health and safety recommendations are you have your monitor at eye level so that you’re not having to look down
