I was wondering if I could use maker lab for commercial purposes, I couldn’t see it mentioned anywhere in the terms but I was hoping someone could tell me so I don’t screw up. I would use it for designing signs.
So use of maker lab in commercial means is fine.

Directly using “Maker Lab” to generate a keychain from an image imposes you’ll be allowed to use for commercial use.
“The original image used to create the model”
Now this is basically going to restrict 99% of images off the web. This doesn’t make vectoring your own file of a say “Nike” emblem okay to use simply because you created that file yourself. Nike still would have restrictions on the use of the image itself which would make it protected even in this instance.
The safest route I could see would be using images you’ve taken with a camera yourself for the best protection. Steer away from using any trademarked logos of major brands or research online prior to using the image and ensure such content is non restricted.
The worse case would be MakerWorld pulling down your model, removing points from your account and receiving a cease & desist notice from a registered business.
Happy Printing!

Loophole advice,
“Commissioned” projects (prints) are the simplest method of achieving the use of trademarked or copyrighted brands, logos and designs. You still state credit to the original designer/maker but this means someone referring to buyer, customer, client brought the file or design to you and asked for you to create it via 3D printing.
You are then receiving a “donation” of material (filament) to create such project by taking “payment” from client to gain the ability to make it happen.
This is the way.
