Printables import

Any indication of when we’ll be able to import from Printables. It’s been “undergoing maintenance” for quite a while now.

Hopefully the maintenance includes a fix for the “You imported a model, now add more photos” nuisance. :slight_smile:

@Tanklet do you have any news on this?

Having the same problem, would be interested to know if there is plans to make this work again.

Hi, our import system has been fixed and is live, try it out now!

Still doesn’t recognise images from Printables for covers/print photos or licenses. Everytime I import I need to go and dig out the old photos or screengrab replacements. Then I end up with the originals from the printables import and the duplicates for the cover and print photos.

Nice, works as it used to, thanks!

Hello! I’m new to MakerWorld and I do not have a Bambu printer. I am involved with the Christmas Community Print Drive and folks have asked if I can post my models for the drive on MakerWorld in addition to Printables. I noticed there is an option for importing to MakerWorld from Printables, but I have a couple of questions. (1) If I complete the fields for importing, does it import everything or will I have a choice of which models to bring into MakerWorld? If I post new models on Printables, can I later select them to be transferred or does it happen automatically? It looks like I have to paste a little comment in my personal profile to link the account. Do I have to keep that in my Printables profile forever? Or can I remove it once files are moved and then use it again if I need to re-link? I don’t really want it to be infinitely visible in my Printables profile. Thanks for the assistance.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, you can select which models to import. New models must be imported manually. You can remove the authorization comment once your import is complete. I am not certain if you need to re-add it for subsequent imports or if it is a one-time authorization process.

Thank you for the feedback! It wasn’t clear from the page where the process starts.

@Zammer3D @Martin_au
The import api of printable changed. This issue is now resolved.
