Can someone please quickly explain what the difference is and how points are awarded?
Thank you very much!

Which part is confusing?
- If you download a profile it counts as downloading the model and the profile, if the print is successful it counts as 2 for each.
- Downloading only raw files just counts as model not profile, printing these does not generate a second successful print point(AFAIK).
- No matter how many raw files you download they still only counts as 1 download, but if you download a profile and a raw file that counts as 2, would assume that’s a bug and would get patched though.
- Same with the downloading 2 different profiles, both counts as 2 downloads(to the model, 1 to each profile), would assume that’s a bug as well, since you basically can give yourself as many points as you want by just making some lame multiprofile print and download all the profiles yourself.
Seems like this is getting patched soon, SPAM print profiles - #19 by Tanklet - Download count on the model shows only either profile or model, but does not count for the second extra point afaik, unless its just really slow on catching up, because I have gotten a couple 100’s more download points on some models that does not show on the downloads counter.
The only thing that surprised me was the counter on the side. I haven’t seen it like that before. The assumption was that model downloads were the raw data in a different form, like STL. And for profile downloads, when someone has loaded a profile. But I wasn’t sure.
Thanks for the answer!
