Hi, i got a message from maker world today with a List of Models that aparently missing pictures. Some of the do but there have been many in the list where I did include a picture.
I included the picture in the modle page and not into the print profile. Is that the Problem? I really don’t get it. I replied and never got an answer back. The obly thing they say is that i have to read the community guidelines but I can’t really find something where the pictures have to be.
When you upload your model you are asked to provide a profile.
You did, that is good.
You provided images and NOT photos for the profile.
Where you added the pictures it told you that you must provide photo evidence of a successful printer.
When you pressed the upload confirmation button you had to tick a tick box confirming you uploaded photo evidence.
You didn’t need to read any Wiki article to know these things.
Weirdly, you actually had the photo evidence.
Add a photo to each of the print profiles or they will be removed along with any gained points from the profile.
Renders, artists impressions of the actual model are all fake representations of your model.
If you choose not to present your photo evidence prominently, it usually means you do not think your printed model is something that would attract people to bother printing it. If that is the case, don’t bother sharing.
Yet, I say it again, you have photos, use them. Fix all your models quickly.
No one pulled the wool over your eyes, the requirement is clearly explained. This model in particular was added well after the changes early this year.
Many people asking me to create clocks or lightboxes for them. I do them for free and the only thing i want is a picture of the print. I even have to create print profiles for them because they dont know how to handle a lightbox in bambu studio. After they get the what they want you never hear from them again.
The stuff i create for my self I normaly print and take pictures from.
maker world also flagged models where a real picture was included. And I don’t know why. please check the model above, maybe you have an explenation. Thanks.
ok that means they want the pictures in the print profile and the model page? most of the models i create are done by request by maker world useres. I create the model and the print profile. All i want in return is a picture of the printed model. Very often i don’t hear from the people again.
If you provide a print profile you MUST have printed the model first.
You then provide a photo you took of the model you printed and include that with each print profile to prove it can be printed using the print profile settings you created.
Your latest estate suggests you may not print the models yourself.
Fair enough, but, you cannot then provide a print profile as you didn’t print the model, and couldn’t have taken a picture that you couldn’t then produce as evidence.
Someone else’s photos are also prohibited. If you are found to have supplied photos of the model you didn’t take then your profile goes, your points removed and one black mark, enough black marks and you get banned.
If you are not printing the model, how do you know those to whom you created it and provided it will be able to print it?
But you posted it.
Dude I no longer care, post what you want. But if you’re asking why they want to pull it, that’s why. Can’t post without a pic in the profile.
I would do that but many people nowadays don‘t know how to use a slicer, i create the model and they need a profile because they don‘t know what to do with the stl files. i would be more then happy to let them create the print profile because it would save me lots of work.
Which is exactly why Makerworld asks for printed proof in form of a real image.
Rendered images are great attention grabbers for the main model page when they are realistically presented. A print profile should ideally be 100% real image as printed, sometimes small details fail in 3d printing like overhangs and layer steps on curves etc.
It would be great if honest WYSIWYG sharp photos were the norm as this inspires companies to design better printers and people to find methods to push them further. Hiding behind fake images is setting people up for failure.
ok, i do understand all this…. But now think about that for one second. You get asked by someone to create a modell. He is not paying you because you do it for free. Now i have to invest not only my time also my own money (filament, power…) to be able to upload the profile because that person ist not able to create its own profile.
I would say there is something wrong with that picture.
Well what’s wrong is you don’t charge. None of that applies to MakerWorld. You don’t have to upload it after you make it, and they can get it from you through email, link, etc.
Bottom line is no profile pic on upload no post. We can argue about it all night, but it’s BL rules and that’s that.
I feel ya, but I’d start charging and sending liink or open a patreon, or Thangs account and post them there.
You can always fulfill requests through dm here and ask the recipient to take photos and grant you rights to use them. There’s just a delay in you being able to post the print profile as long as whoever you draw things up for fulfills their end of the bargain.
Unboxed it, created a Bambu account and connected it to their wifi.
Installed the app and printed your designs
But they couldn’t handle downloading your stl, opening it in Bambu Studio and hitting print using the defaults? I’m not trying to be a jerk but if they can figure out how to create an account on Makerworld and DM you to create a custom design they should be able to figure out how to send an stl to the printer.
Bambu handy makes it possible to use a 3d printer without having a computer.
Also - as far as “computer savvy” logic goes, I know people employed in IT-focused companies that couldn’t figure their way out of windows start menu. There can also be a case of somebody else setting up things to be used by someone less skilled, or doing only what being taught by somebody else (imagine teaching grandma how to use Facebook to connect with grand kids… i assure you that grandma despite theoretically “competently using computer” would also fail any other computer task)
Oh I’m not saying those scenarios aren’t impossible, but he said “many” people contact him that don’t know how to use a slicer. That just seems improbable to me. I guess I’m stereotyping (in a good way) that most people who buy a 3d printer are somewhat tech savy and at least interested in learning how to use a slicer. I’m just saying that if these people have a computer and the ability to learn he needs to push those baby birds out of the nest and watch them soar.
even though in principle i agree with you, given the amount of new comers that come into 3d printing because of bambu · no tinkering and the handy app · i’m guessing we do have a lot of people that wouldn’t know or can’t be bothered in installing a slicer on the computer, import STLs and then tweak the settings
don’t get me wrong, i think everyone interested in 3d printing should be able to do this, and enjoy the learning and experimentation, but i don’t feel like that’s the case at all, some people just want an A1 or A1 mini and print cool things from an app
