Makerworld

Hello, I have 3 X1-c printers with 6 ams total, I would like to know if it is possible to buy a license to sell everything that is downloaded on your MakerWorld and if so how can I pay this right because I would like to make my printers profitable, thank you again for your support.

Nope - absolutely not possible.

The reason is the creators of the models set the licensing. The creators are the ones that own the designs that they create.

To do what you want, all of us who post on MW would have to sign our rights over to Bambu/MW so they could then grant you rights to do whatever you’re wanting to do.

All MW is for all practical purposes is a bunch of individually curated shops each with their own portfolios. Many have provisions for commercial printing of their designs and do commercial licensing through things like Patreon and others. Some make their designs public domain. Some impose other conditions.

But each creator sets the terms for their own models and those terms can vary from model to model too.

MZip is 100% correct. For what you want to do you might want to take a look at Patreon. There are many skilled designers there who offer commercial licenses on a monthly basis that allows you to sell their models.

A lot of creators (Including me :wink: ) have Patreon/BuyMeACoffee pages where you can purchase licenses to sell their models commercially. MakerWorld does not have the legal right to sell those licenses on our (all designers’) behalf, though.

… or on anyone’s behalf, for that matter.

Edited to clarify, by “our” I meant all MW designers. There may eventually be a feature coming to MakerWorld that lets people buy licenses to models, but that would be configured by the designer so it would probably not be an all-in-one purchase.
