the beta invite email suggested 3 initial tests:
ok, i’m aiming for number 3… i see the profiles have been rated by others… but how?!
i can’t find anywhere to click to add a profile review. anyone here know where to look?
Its one the handy app after your print is done.
but how can you add a review later? because i put another print without reviewing the previous one and can’t find how do it now…
So you need to use Handy app and you must use a pre-sliced profile or you have to upload your profile before. Crazy.
err - not exactly.
Thanks for the info. I was aware of the other options but not of the first. Can you confirm that downloading a model (maybe only the print profile) from Makerworld and printing it from the Bambu Studio will permit you to evaluate the model afterwards? I didn’t try that, so I would be thankful if you could provide some details.
i’m 99% sure i’ve done it before, but i’ll do it purposely today to verify.
Hi. I am not affirming anything contrary. Sorry if it sounded like that. I am just curious and like to learn. it’s not urgent, but thanks for the help. I will also explore and try it.
i’m struggling on a different part. I can’t seem to upload profiles. I open bambu studio, import my file (be it .3mf or stl), set everything and then go to File - export - export generic .3mf
but once i want to upload it i get this error
“The 3mf file is not generated by Bambu Studio, or the printer selected in the 3mf is not a Bambu Lab printer.”
Nevermind. I had to use “Save project as”
no worries, i didn’t take anything as combative. makerworld works differently than other sites/tools, so despite being pretty confident i was at least a LITTLE unsure.
and now i’ve tested it and it definitely works:
i wish there was an easier way to add photos to ratings. maybe something like “fetch a phot from the handy app”, in which i could take a picture and have it available to include here? for now i take a photo, backup to google photos, open google photos website, download, rename, upload… feels like a lot of steps. wonder if i need to scrub EXIF data like location… could be simpler through the handy app anyway.
This is still not working as it should, on my side i really tend to :
When doing like that, you can NOT rate at all what you have printed - why ?!
Why is it SO convoluted to upload a make on MakerWorld? It is SO unintuitive and multi-step, especially from the website. Though I do appreciate @bitflung’s steps. Shouldn’t be required to come to this forum or search google in order to rate a model and upload a photo associated with a profile.
How about something like this:
I downloaded and printed allready but i could not find the rate button.
Help.
Thanks for the tips posted in this thread, I don’t understand why Bambu made it so frickin hard to figure out how to rate a print profile. That was like trying to find a privacy setting in Facebook 
With the help of this thread I finally found both options -
From Bambu Handy App - click on “Ratings” from the middle right of the “Me” page of the app.
From MakerWorld - Click on your avatar in the top right to open the menu, then select Ratings.
I just had my rating removed on a print profile. The creater of the profile didn’t like my 3 star review. They commented back to me and now I can’t respond to give that individual further feedback. I guess he got his feelings hurt by a 3star rating for something that was functional (average) but not exceptional or life changing (5 star). Maybe I’d be better off not rating if people can remove a negative/neutral rating
According to Makerworld, it is not the model that should be evaluated, but the print profile. A successful print without defects should therefore lead to a good rating, even if you don’t particularly like the design itself.
And that makes sense, since print profiles were often not created by the designer.
To give credit to the designer (or not), there is a like button.
This is an important point that needs to be more prominently than it is.
Whilst I have a significant number of my own models I have created a significant number of profiles for other designer’s models so that users can print on more printers than the designer originally made available.
Unfortunately, I receive ratings like these…
It printed great, but I didn’t like the model (3 stars)
It’s a shame it didn’t solve my problem (2 stars)
I printed it five times and the last one didn’t stick to the build plate (1 star)
Clearly, none of these are my fault, yet my efforts are blamed for; them not liking what they chose to print, something not doing what the hoped and almost certainly and build plate in need of a clean.
In my opinion, it printed without problems. The profile they provided did exactly what it said it would. It met my expectations, so I gave it an average rating. Was there anything superb about it? Fit it Far Exceed Expectations? Nope.
I wouldn’t give a McDonalds hamburger 5 stars. Yeah it was filling and had an acceptable amount of nutrition, but is air a 5 star meal? Nope.
I guess I’m just a little more stingy when giving out a 5 star rating.
