That’s fun… The original is theoretically “optimized for resin printers” whatever that entails… Anyway…
Out of those 3 it looks like one lis “share” so there’s no remix. I wondered how it works and it looks like Bambu has something like “claim your account” there where user can just connect their account and reap the rewards. Cool.
2 Others - one has “added base” so if you stretch the remix definition to allow such mod as a remix then it’s “fine I guess”.
That leaves that one that claims to have “tweaked the structure” which I kinda doubt… If anybody wants to play “is it remix or is it not” and wants to try CloudCompute here’s how to do it (assuming you find and install CloudCompute):
Open up the STLs in CloudCompute
If you’re lucky, they are the same scale, size and position. If not - follow the cloudcompare wiki on how to align meshes. I had great success with automatic registration with ICP but it seems to work best when models are actually nearly identical. This can also calculate the scale which can be useful to show that all that was done to model was resizing
in the treeview select vertex objects from both STLs go to Tools->Distance-> Cloud/Mesh distance and let it compare the distances.
After computation it’ll show the mean and std dev of distances and the visual distance will be colored on scale from blue to red where blue means “it’s in the same spot” and red is “it’s waaaaay over there”. If the whole is blue then you know for certain it’s the same. If it’s red then it might look the same, but it’s different.
Whole operation takes couple of click and around 2 min calculation time on my 10y old laptop for models with over 1M vertices.
I only recommend doing that when one is actually ticked off by the “remix” or clear copyright violation to spend about 10 mins learning cloudcompare, 2 mins of calculation and about 1 min of sending report to MakerWorld with screenshots showing clearly the issue and clear wording so they have no chance but to accept the report.
usually you can spot the ones that create massive amounts of profiles on the top contest models, mainly featured models. some will create profiles until the contest ends and remove them.
check the top trending models on contests and usually its the same people. some profiles are extremely lazy, only changing infill percent. i have reached out to makerworld and they do encourage you to report them.
Is the cat mask truly that popular to be “made (wink wink)” so many times?
Like this example. They even have an online shop just for that model. Crazy…
And yes, i checked, the batman cat mask they claim “being made” by them is a direct upload from printables from an already remix of the original model and cut to be printed flat.
Let’s be honest: do people really believe that such a mask would do a cat any good? It’s a real ordeal for animals to have to wear accessories prescribed by vets to protect surgical wounds from being accessed by the animal. Vets know this too.
If you observe how your pet behaves, and cats in particular have a pronounced cleaning behaviour, including on the head, then you will know very quickly that the animal is not happy about it, to put it mildly.
But what don’t you do to get downloads and attention.
Yeah, I can’t condone those cat masks because I know they hate it. I mean I can’t say I’ve NEVER put something silly on my dog, you know, just briefly for a picture
Perhaps it’s not surprising. The scratching post (cat tree) I once “designed” for my cat was a real tree trunk. Part of it, 2 metres long from a spruce tree, with bark. I got it from the forest. Placed it on the floor at home and it took less than 10 minutes for the cat to take it to its heart. I then put the trunk up, built a house on it and from then on it was my cat’s “home”. Sometimes loving animals can be sooo simple.
Still on the topic, since it is farming related, but a bit different.
I think people are starting to fall short of ideas. Wandering the front trending page and i came up to a “designer mushroom lamp” ( ) and i just had to laugh… won’t post it here, but it’s really not too hard to find it if you follow the AI crumbs
Anyway, i laughed so much and was thinking “where did i saw that already?!” and it came to me…
If you come across the said model, you will be reminded of what’s in the spoiler… i bet
Told that before, but it gets buried under the rug. And the “profiler”?! He’s in every kind of creator that does this. “have you seen my 500+ profiles? Follow me for more”
Good question. That guy started not long ago if you check by his models, socials, etc… As i said before, “you let a dog in, all the dogs in the neighborhood will also want to be let in”. It’s starting and almost everyday there’s a new one… go figure why… Right? Right?!
When we burned for heat I always had a piece for the cats. Usually part of a big limb. I had one that liked the split sides, then she’d curl up right under the stove.
Good times…wait no, I don’t miss spending all that time splitting wood, being on a tractor, getting up in the middle of the night…
Lots of new starters lately… another one. I love the the different guidelines for each user. @MakerWorld can be proud of letting one do this and now others following it because… they can
