Makerworld stated on the 23rd of October, in relation to print profiles without printed pictures: “After these 10 days, in the interest of fairness and transparency, Print Profiles lacking actual print images will be automatically placed at the end of the list on model pages…”
When are you planning to actually implement this? It has been over 10 days since this message was sent out. Was this just an empty threat from Bambu Labs?
Afaik this is implemented, just a lot of people who clicked the “This print profile passed my print test.
I have uploaded photos of my printed model to the photo list to show its printability.” checkbox without actually including a photo as proof, I would expect. I guess you could just report them all and have them taken down completely.
Although I don’t know how the designer removes these profiles, “If you discover that tested print profiles are actually not tested (e.g., using other people’s pictures), you can report the print profile and we will deal with it as soon as possible.”
Do I literally have to report the ■■■■? Cant I just get a button to do it for me?
Edit: I reported them all, maybe you’ll get a handfull more downloads now.
That seem to have worked, at least for some, guess the ones who didn’t check that checkbox. Still have some untested profiles but reported them. Thanks
Many of the profiles I see are spam, uploaded only in the hope of accumulating points. Especially those declared “fast”, which almost always take longer than the original model to be printed…
I have some of these useless profiles in my templates, almost always tagged as “tested” and with MY photos uploaded. Then if you go and check the authors they have uploaded hundreds of them…
So I decided to include this sentence in the description of my works: Warning: before before downloading and printing SPAM profiles, check that when ★ 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭 is written it is really faster and not 30% slower at printing. Also make sure it was actually printed and that the photo used is not a copy of the print from the original profile!
It will make you smile but I fell for it too… a couple of months ago I uploaded a profile without the actual image of the printed model (I had only uploaded it in the comments) and I never remembered to upload the photos. …
Now my profile has been deleted, and rightly so, my mistake!
Let’s keep this excellent site “clean”, those who make mistakes pay… ;.)
Hi Tanklet i am confused about the recent changes about print profile. If i am uploading an item should i upload it in different material like Pla and PETG? I always believed that if say i uploaded in PLA only and if someone wanted to print it in PETG through maker world they couldnt because there is no PETG profile i have created and the only way is for them to use a PC and download the PLA version and manually change it to PETG then slice it. Is this true or i am mistaken? Thank you.
Particularly with difficult materials such as PETG, which need to be printed slowly, especially in combination with sepcial objects, any random profile for the material is likely to be difficult to print. In any case, the standard PETG settings did not work with my prints.
@FaithCD
Usualy, there is no need to upload print profiles for different material, except that you use different Process Parameters (such as brim) for them.
If you upload a PLA print profile, users may also print it with PETG on Bambu Handy. The cloud slicer will re-generate G-code with PETG settings.
I just had mine taken down that I have had up for over a year that clearly HAD a successful print photo attached to it. I just submitted a appeal but this is extremely frustrating that I lost a few hundred maker points because I had been falsely reported by a guy that was clearly harrassing me making false statements and then had it taken down when its been up since 1/20/2023 and followed every community guideline TO INCLUDE pictures of successful print. I need my print profile put back up and points returned.
Has our operator handled your appeal?
If it is rejected, and you insist your print profile does not violate the print profile guidelines, please send your print profiles to me via private message. I will check it.
I appreciate you going the extra mile on this one for the person that reached out to you, I do not know who they are, but, it is good to see something positive.
