Model taken down for reason 'incorrect upload type'

This model was taken down due to an incorrect upload type.

Does anyone know what that means?

That means someone has reported your model arguing it’s not an original but a remix and MW agreed.

It looks like someone else thought the same as me, this is why I sent the text.
Same model but different descriptions.

The description were exactly the same, I just copied it from Thingiverse :hushed:

i always try to screencap my design on the design platform and include it in the photos to somewhat prove i created it in i.e tinkerrcad, fuison, scad etc

Thanks! Yes, I absolutely undestand the confusion. I wasn’t aware that there is such a huge problem with stolen models. I copied from my own model:

Here a screenshot of my OpenSCAD code:

I now linked MakerWorld on Thingiverse, also in the descriptions and updated my username:

I really hope it is now not taken down again as I really did not steal anything. I just needed a replacement spool and made it. I used the time and uploaded an updated version :slight_smile:
