so… why did i get my profiles taken down… not part of a contest and each profile was different sizes so you could print from the app. i got pointed and now only have one print profile for all of my 40 some models. are we not aloud to make profiles now that are different from each other on layer and size? starting to hate the game.
Missing pictures maybe?

no in fact none of these models had any violations before today… and simply put… it was because i had different profiles to the same model all different sizes and all different layer heights. .8 all the way up to .20 i fear that i am a discriminatory retaliation. this is the 3rd day of my entire catalogue being scrutinized… is this happening to anyone else? sorry the models i am questioning have not had a violation before today.
According to MakerWorld Print Profile Upload Guidelines | Bambu Lab Wiki there are several reasons for print profiles to be taken down. Usual reason is “no real print photo”. It’s mandatory to add real print photo. Next thing is the prohibited terms such as “faster”, “better”, “guaranteed”, “verified”.
in that case there’s point 3 in prohibited practices: “Minor adjustments to an existing print profile that do not add substantial value will be considered duplicates and will be removed.”
I get the sizes, but different layer heights are imho overkill. Different nozzle with settings that retain quality are probably ok.

If you read the rules carefully, don’t ask me to go dig them out. But I remember that they specifically mentioned that small changes to print profiles won’t be allowed, change a color? change a plate type? change a scale?
So, simply changing layer height per profile likely isn’t allowed.
That is probably why, I would suggest playing the game, just move the info that those profiles contained to the description.
substantial value? what like the difference between model heights and model resolution? no one seems to be able to tell me what constitutes “substantial”…
kinda snarky…but i forgive you… 
it wasn’t just layer height… it was scale, layer height and others… i made it so people on the phone app had more than one choice in each category as you so kindly mentioned. i can tell you are a software designer… i can’t move anything if its not there. they removed the profiles!!! i get a ban if i put them back up… as stated in the t.o.s. thanks for your reply.
I meant like creating a text table of the pertinent info. Of course, you could also attempt to make your case to Bambu, I think you have one if I understand correctly? You created these for handy app convenience?
And that was me trying not to be snarky =)
That’s the vagueness of guidelines, exclusive model program has even more vague language.
I’d say that a substantial change is one that when printed makes one profile visibly different from another. Or that which allows printing with different nozzle (i haven’t checked whether bambu handy accounts for different nozzle or not, but in Bambu studio you have to select different nozzle and adjust params for it). Or one that allows printing the model on different printer (eg arranged/scalled that it fits on A1 Mini or doesn’t hit exclusion zone on X1/P1)
In a very objective way, your pictures, profiles, and some models just don’t meet guidelines.
For example, this Star Fox model: Star Fox by drewcifer - MakerWorld
The first image and the profile image is a screenshot of Star Fox posing with hands on his hips. The printed image provided is Star Fox in a completely different pose. The printed picture is also incredibly low resolution and has part of the model cut out of the picture.
It’s entirely the fault of the lack of good pictures paired with incorrect pictures that’s making MakerWorld have to take down your models/profiles.
thank you for that i must have uploaded the profile i was going to release next. my mistake.
i do have one question? where is the recommended resolution for the pictures cause im not buying another camera right now and resolution of the picture has nothing to do with the resolution of the model being printed. it is to show that it is “printable” and after all doesn’t recommend any sort of requirements other than it has a provable picture of the model. yes i guess i made a boo boo but im ok with mistakes… they make you wiser. i am not ok with someone telling me that my picture has to look like everyone else’s professional quality pic. im a single father to an autistic 6 year old boy. extra money is rare for now. so no effin 4k camera in my future if thats what is required. that however is just my situation and opinion.
I have used my phone camera many times and it’s more than good enough.
The picture is to show that it’s printable, but truthfully the quality of your pictures is so low that it’s debatable whether they show if it’s printable.
Just take a picture with the model in the center, hold the camera upright, and use the highest resolution you can with what you have

man… i have a a21 samsung… .5 is the best im getting… again. no requirement for dpi, just proof of print.
The camera on that phone is:
16.1 MP f/1.8 primary, 8 MP f/2.2 ultrawide, 2 MP f/2.4 macro, 2 MP f/2.4 depth sensor
Any of those options are more than enough to take a good picture. And again, you need proof of print, but with such low quality of photos, the picture of your proof is too low resolution to actually confirm that it’s a print

they need to make that clear. i got a camera that is not acquit apparently. im not rich and i don’t have the money to drop on something right now but why not put that in the t.o.s that you can’t be a broke boi to be apart of the cool kids club.
You’re missing the point again, no one is saying you must be rich and have a nice camera. They said proof of print, your proof is insufficient. That’s fair enough and I can guarantee that with the same camera many others can take a photo that’s good enough
i. again ask… where is it insufficient if no one can point out where the required rule for dpi or resolution for pictures. i don’t care if you take a picture with a candy bar phone… it does not dictate how the print comes out… they sell printers not pictures… and again… i ask were is the requirement for resolution? everyone has different eyes and can obviously see what the model is… they just don’t find it ascetically pleasing… like someone that has done this for years and has all the nice stuff or even a nice phone… or hell even a low budget phone.
One last time, if you can show proof that’s clear, resolution doesn’t matter. In this case, your resolution is so low that proof is not verifiable.
I will do as the other people have done and stop trying to help you further.
I suggest you open a ticket with MW to seek clarifications.
Unless MW choses to reply you here, I think the replies here (including this one) may be well-meaning, but non-definitive, and sometimes may not be to your liking or expectations.
