They will need to register once and they will get access to the print profiles + handy app
it’s will be less work for you. You don’t have to maintain to listing on 2 different platforms. You could create a collection on MW listing all your model for your Patreon members.
I`m not reffering to mw or bl, im talking about a user , who you give a certain permission to , ie commercial license to sell/buy , means you have to change the license type to a commercial license for legal and copyright reasons , and hosting aswel , not everybody is here on mw and not everybody works with word of mouth , its permissions that count even for MW
But in that case the models would not be patreon exclusive anymore.
And again, this is just curiosity since i don’t have any models there at all. It may serve as an example for who has exclusivity through patreon in any way.
I think it would serve only for the commercial license and nothing more.
Thanks for you help, i’ll be watching this topic in the meantime 
No - the purpose of the Standard Digital File License is that the creator retains all rights. The creator is the only person who has permission to produce it commercially or grant permission for others to do so. The creator is the only person that can distribute the file. The creator is the only person that can remix it. etc.

I am trying to see this from Makerworld’s point of view. What they might have intended. This contradiction urgently needs to be clarified.

If it’s published anywhere else than on Patreon it can’t be a patron exclusive that’s for sure ^^`

All the license agreements are in those two section of the terms
The frist is the agreement with MW the second with the users (standard digital files)

If exclusive, you cannot host or allow others to sell copies of the files. PERIOD.
The prints themselves cannot be sold either, without explicit permission from the owner of the model!
Who is the owner of the model? Not MakerWorld. They explicitly mention this in their wiki article: (posted above already)
The owner cannot sell the files or host them anywhere else, if labelled “exclusive”. But they still own the files and can allow others to print them from here and sell the printed model, with proper permission (recorded somewhere like Patreon.)

You can change your license terms at any time. But of course if will be harder to enforce the new terms if there a lot of remixes.
Yes, but then you would have to make sure that other copies disappear. Wouldn’t you?
I thing the main goal of this requirement of standard digital file licence is to make life easier if you ask then to handle a copyright infringements. It will be way easier to do than if it was a CC license that can be at minimum shared everywhere

i have used the standard license for a long time, you can indeed (as the IP owner) allow for users to subscribe to a commercial license to print and sell those prints of your designs · that is what i do through patreon
in regards to exclusivity, this is not the same topic, we are posting the model exclusively on makerworld (so not on printables, makeronline, etc) all other aspects are governed by the standard digital file license, which Bambu/Makerworld cannot override.
what exclusivity means is that you cannot post your designs on other sites, and that’s about it. @MakerWorld if this is not the case, please clarify

exactly i use standard license here and on printables (on the same designs), exclusivity has nothing to do with this

No because those “copies” where allowed to be copied by the previous terms. So they have the right to be copies ^^
But once you change the license, new downloads/copies must follow the new rules.
That’s super complicated to enforce. That’s why they want model licensed under standard digital file. It’s way simpler.
This is also the case for UK postcodes; they will not allow me to input letters, only numbers. UK postcodes are always XX00 0XX with “X” being a letter and “0” being a number.
People in the program also should be aware of the mark given by MW to the model cover image and re-arrange cover if necessary. For Example:
That L is hardly visible
On BambuHandy that exclusive mark covers quite a bit of cover image so users have to adjust their cover images (@Botolo78 - I’ve noticed that browsing your models so you might want to adjust the cover images)

Oh thanks, I will update the cover 
Damn, actually all my covers

Interesting program, A few things need clarifying.
-
Commercial use, it would be good if there was explicit language around individual commercial licenses. It’s clear that MW users are not allowed commercial use under the standard license. It’s clear that exclusive means don’t upload it anywhere else. It’s not clear if the creator can give a commercial manufacturing license to a 3rd party since they retain rights (think Hydra or Python AMS mods)
-
You need to make clear that changing a license from CC BY SA NC or similar to Standard does not revoke the rights of those who downloaded under the old license (you can’t legally retroactively change a granted license). It’s unclear if this would make models with a changed license ineligible for the exclusive program, some clarification is needed.
-
You need to make clear that remixes of models that have CC SA license can’t be Standard license as doing so would violate the SA requirement.
-
If somebody has posted a remix of a model that was CC but gets changed to Standard that person should not be penalized.
[yes I’ve spent way to much time reading software license contracts]

I just had a model become part of the creator program, I don’t think it would, but I hope neither program excludes it from the other
All of my models are exclusively on MakerWorld anyway, but I do have a Buy Me A Coffee option at the bottom of them all (just as a donation, not to gain access to anything) I wonder if I need to remove it?
This is sooo weird
