While I do occasionally release a physical model, most of my projects are related to print presets. Now, I post these as models, and this is where things get fuzzy. I’ll simply establish that I want to share these on Makerworld. These presets apply to all models, because they allow the slicer to generate smaller lines and print perfectly smooth surfaces with a factory 0.4mm nozzle. Basically, a poor man’s 0.2mm nozzle upgrade, plus some universal presets that are actually good. The thing is, the models themselves are very basic and are not original content, so I do not have them enlisted in the Exclusive program. However, they apply to any object, so I can’t just submit them as print presets to every model on Makerworld that could use them. Therefore, I post them as models.
Now, there is no category for my models (the closest one I could find is “Test Models”) because Makerworld rightfully favors physical models over print presets as original content. I therefore ask you: Should there be a category (likely under "3D Printer”) delegated for exclusively models that are only for universally applicable presets such as mine? If not, how should such models be classified and represented?

It’s really interesting and I’m going to test some of your presets when I have some free time.
