I just made a design, then took that as basis for something related but very different and then made a much smaller redesign for something else (all Skadis holders / shelves… Kinda in the “Oh I rather measure and make my own instand of even looking if I find something fitting at makerworld”-phase figuring the nob measurements was the biggest work so I’ll probably reuse that a lot till I figure out I’ve to move from Skadis to the system bambu showed at Formnext…)
Now I’m kinda looking at it and am confused if those need to be classified as remixes?
I guess I’ll go with original since I made them from scratch, maybe I´m just overthinking this too much.
Is a “self remix” considered a original or remix in the end?
I think it’s whichever you choose it to be. If you want it to be a remix, click the add remix button. If not, upload it as a completely separate model.
While I don’t know for sure how MakerWorld thinks about this, I have seen many large designers releasing “remixes” of their own designs without marking them as such.
I’d say it doesn’t matter if it’s your own design, because it’s technically a remix, but also your original creation.
I agree with @MalcTheOracle It’s your work, it’s original and therefor not a remix.
That said label them as a series when posting them to the site if you want, so that people know they are related. That’s just good presentation and not a requirement though!
I generally view remixes as providing an attribution to the source. It isn’t really expected if you are your own source. It gets fuzzier if you are basing it on something you remixed from somebody else.
From a practical point of view I’d think you should mark all your creations original, even if they are derivatives of another of your works. If you want to change the license on one later, you might cause confusion if one is labelled a remix of another that has an incompatible license.
