MakerWorld Exclusive Program is now Live!

I am with you.

Zero examples of what is deemed acceptable and worthy or unacceptable and unworthy.

I spend significant amount of time on every model I create. Many are multiple colour AMS models with interesting designs or artwork in everyday objects.

It seems my coasters and keyrings are not loved by MW, as they removed every single one from the program.

They asked for:

  • quality models - check
  • with occasional updates - check
  • With the designer interacting with the users - check

They removed almost all of them this morning.

All the points gained were removed, not the difference between the exclusive points and the traditional points, all of them.

Nowhere does it say coasters or keyrings will not be allowed. If it had, I would have known, that is too easy. If they had sent a message saying “your coasters and keyrings are not eligible, you have 24/48 hours to remove them”, I would have. Yet, we can’t remove anything if we realise their evolving rules now affect something we believe met their criteria when they were entered.

This is a massive bait and switch.

They also removed my QR Code OpenSCAD creator, the second most successful model of its kind on the platform.

Yet all other QR Code related models still have their exclusive status.

It took days, has received several updates, was die another one this week, that is on hold now.

I also have to wonder if I am being punished for calling them out publicly over their refusal to deliver the AMS I ordered over a month ago.
