you dont print them in the assembled form… you unassemble it and make it bigger. unfortunatly i cannot upload the model in its full form as we can only upload 500mb models, this is why the models are small size and all assembled so just split model to parts and then print it 200% like i did
its weird how you can download all these and many many more models online already but somehow you are saying it was you, your uncle, and your cousin who created these? how about the other 15 creators of the same lego cad projects? are they your cousins brothers teachers or his sisters friends aunts who modeled them?
its pretty easy to do you can download most models online but most of the time the constrains are not perfect and the model isnt perfect so its aloud to edit and modify it from them also, we did not start and do them all from scratch some had revisions on it from others but some models are also made from us. we did see others copy and steel our models also… but there isnt and wasnt as much copyrights protections back then for those files wich is why you probably see them everywhere now days. but i do have the original cad and mods i did on them. now once its published as a stl with copyrights i believe the files will be just more protected. I removed most of them and only will post on printables if this is an issue here with users, like i said i wont put 3mf files unless i print them with the actual bambu.

It is uniquely sad to read this page. As much as I want to reiterate every time that my models are not original, I personally 3D modeled them one by one. Am I good at rendering? Thank you very much, it is not prohibited on the platform, and as far as the models posted are concerned, I can only say that the profile posted in this comment is only a profile that publishes stolen models… I’ll leave you an example here.
Zoro Modello di stampa 3D in Uomo 3DExport this is a stolen model from that profile
ZORO- man holding two swords | 3D model the original model creator
My only mistake was that I had already shared them in the past (2021) so who knows what kind of trip they might have made. Can you find them on Amazon? Sure, but I made the 3D printed models. It’s not a competition to see who creates the most original project and accusing people of scamming for sharing 3D models on a free sharing platform seems really exaggerated to me.
Last answer, I have always thought that an image of the slice was more useful than a printed model one because at least that way you can see how the supports are arranged but apparently people prefer photos of the prints, don’t worry I will modify them one by one.

ok so the “stolen” models are not stolen
Hey @Collecticraft, I am glad you joined the conversation.
Don´t get me wrong, but I am having trust issues here. I don’t mind what someone else is sharing on a different platform. When we talk here about scamming and ripping other people - it is to protect creators on this platform and protect this platform to allow it to grow, attract original creators, and not become a dumpster fire for stolen models.
What does that mean?
- License Violations have to be taken seriously
- Remixes need to be declared correctly
- Remixes are only valid uploads if the original license allows it
Let`s specifically talk about your David Models. As you stated you have created all your models yourself. I have my doubts.
If we again take a look at your Darth David Model.
You can already see in your screenshots, and pictures that there seems to be nothing right. For a model, that requires a lot of detail and work - is the mask that poorly slapped onto it? It does not follow the contour of the face and is melted into the face. I adore everyone capable of doing this - right?
So the question arises, where do they originate from?
It could be a fun remix, but it is not marked as such.
All the other David Models seem to be derivates of this base model, that would be fine but none of them give attribution, and since this was the first upload I have my doubts. This means you probably violate someone’s license.
Problematic Models:
Let´s take another one:
This one would be a lot of effort to create in the first place.
If you look closely, it´s always more or less the same body with another head slapped onto it.
I like them, but again - you modeled every head yourself?
Considering the obvious problem with the David Model - I have my doubts. If not where is the attribution? Did you buy licenses to have them distributed without attribution? It is hard to imagine, but yeah an option, but that should have been stated.
Don´t get me started providing Amazon Rip-Offs that are probably Rip-Offs themselves.
All your Profiles (only taken from the linked ones) are created around January/February. There is no sign that you have been active before.
I have my doubts.
You are right, it´s not a competition who created the most original thing.
But there are still rules and laws you have to follow. What you may not get. The consequences are currently, your model is taken down on this site. But you are also running a Patreon.
Bambu Lab honors models with gift cards, on Patreon people pay to have commercial Licenses or early access for your Models. I would double-check and have every model, including history work files, at hand or the licenses you have bought to redistribute.
This is acting with a financial interest. Talk to your lawyer about that. I am not the person who has the interest to go after you.
I am not the original author.
Your current proof that the internet does things.

I’ll answer everything calmly and in an orderly manner.
You asked why all my profiles were born in January, the answer is simple, I decided to start from scratch by doing a total rebrand and that’s how collecticraft was born, consequently I decided to share my work (started in 2019) on makerworld, you can imagine that in 5 years it’s a lot.
Honestly, I don’t want to share my previous social profile publicly, it doesn’t seem like an investigation to me and I won’t do it for privacy reasons.
Obviously I’m not Michelangelo but the David model is CC0 here’s the link
it’s public and it would have taken you very little to find it, I’ll also attach what CC0 means.
Honestly, of all the models that I have shared, David’s is the only remix that from what we read does not need to be declared as such because the starting model is the one in the link. I’ll give you another example that has existed since 2021:
Free STL file David's Skull 💀・3D printer design to download・Cults (this is not mine but is clearly based on the model with cc0).
You asked me if everyone can do it? Yes everyone can do it or at least anyone who has a minimum of skills in 3D modeling, you took as an example what was an original idea of mine and I repeat, I’m not Michelangelo but with a bit of skill Darth Vader anyone can do it.
Regarding the motivators, yes I made them all and it was a lot of work, we are talking about months of work, this is because they are very popular here in Italy.
Of all the models you mentioned, the work is all mine, very often inspired by what I see on the internet but I made the 3D files myself in fact you won’t find them anywhere else.
Now if after this clarification regarding Michelangelo’s David you tell me that my work does not follow the site’s guidelines, I will personally undertake to remove everything and review the terms of my licenses.
Hey @Collecticraft, thx a lot for your explanation.
But you are still not getting the point. I am not asking if anyone can do it, I am explaining why this discussion popped up, and asking to provide attribution if required and honor licenses. Since you seem to be offended because someone could even think this.
It´s also not helping because your argumentation is bluntly said, look at something different to prove your models.
Even the David Model is perfectly suited as CC0 allows this. But the screenshots show visibly that 2 Models were mixed.No attribution for the Model of David, which is fine with CC0 - but also not for the Mask part. It does not look like it was made for this model- since the mask does not fit. So where does it come from?
It may be fine, we don’t know, but it feels… fishy.
Sure I can understand that you want a fresh start, this is fine - I respect that. But you are making a fresh start with existing models - that can be found all over the internet and have no attribution attached. Anyways, popping out of nowhere, with no history and with models that already exist, sometimes have paid versions feels… fishy.
If you are saying you are the originator of the models.
Like this one:
https://3dexport.com/3dmodel-statue-443430.htm
People are selling your models! You have all the right to go after them and go for financial compensation and let the models disappear. But also here you have to prove that you are the Author.
You still did not provide any proof of origin except for the David part of your models. No Timestamps of files, no history of any file, just your statement that you did it. Does it resolve my doubts? No.
Am I glad that we have at least a conversation? Yes!
I have positively noted that you adjusted your Licenses on your Models, despite all the nonsense (I assume ChatGPT generated) descriptions. The descriptions also do not help, resolve my doubts.
Example:
Please at least, check the stuff before pasting it over.
It states the Material the keyring is made of. It is a 3D Printable Model.
All the best,
Benjamin

I’ll start by saying that I’m also happy to be able to clarify your doubts, I will always respond in an orderly manner, yes the descriptions are all made with chat gpt, it doesn’t take a genius to understand it, AIs are valid helpers in the preparation of my posts and Often, perhaps due to my own distraction, details like the one you underlined escape me.
It took me a while to dig through my backup hard drives and I finally found my first attempt at modeling Darth Vader, it’s horrible and I also used it in my motivators project but I was a beginner, here’s the screen.
I can easily give you the time stamp of Darth David. We’re talking about a 2021 file, so as you can see from the uploaded model the dimensions are the same. What other proof can I give you to make you understand that we’re talking about models that are the result of my work?
On blender it is difficult to see the creation processes of a file unless you film yourself while you are doing it, but I can show you the process of creating files made on Fusion360, keep this as a tutorial and as proof that I am the author of my models, usually I am not so specific in saying how I make the projects or how I make my designs , we are talking about 5 years of commitment to 3D modeling which are being shared for the first time.
I’m not starting from scratch creating collecticraft but with existing models, the models are mine and apart from some free sharing in the past on Facebook, they were uploaded for the first time on makerworld.
Regarding the profile linked above of 3dexport I have already taken steps to report it because as I have already said it is making money by selling models of many artists, all stolen as if nothing had happened.
I’m sure that before me (or after) many will surely have modeled these abstract figures, because they are incredibly easy to model, I would use them as exercises to teach 3D modeling, I can find you many models, each different by the others, which are all inspired by the figures you shared and that are sold on Amazon but frankly speaking I’m not stealing anyone’s work.
https://www.printables.com/it/model/343599-abstract-thinker-sculpture-no-supports
Other than giving you the timestamp of this too, I don’t know what else to do to show you that I am the creator.
I tell you genuinely that I’m new to this world and I really don’t know how to protect myself, especially when my designs are inspired by what I see online, it would be like accusing whoever created a bust of Spidermen of having copied Marvel.
I can stay here all day giving you proof that what I do is all the result of my work and where you don’t see an attribution it’s because as I showed you with the David they are models under CC0.
I hope that with all this evidence I have resolved some of your doubts

I really don’t have a dog in this fight, but that render looks susupicioulsy like the Ralph McQuarrie creation of Vader for the Original Star Wars in the 1970’s.
Of course it is, very happy that it was recognized, at least the overall geometry is good .It was my inspiration for 3D modeling, i was just pointing out that back in the past I was not so skilled in 3D modeling and you can clearly see the low poly “resolution”. I’m 100% sure that there isn’t a model like this in the internet. The same model is used in my motivators set that tooks me months of work to make them all, at least for the most difficult ones. They have been my “training” to 3D modeling.
ok, if you say so.
Can buy a remarkably close print in as a helmet on Etsy
https://www.etsy.com/listing/712883471/ralph-mcquarrie-vader-art-helmet
As well as many more found just reverse searching your image. Now McQuarries sketches are well known and it could be an incredible coincidence that your sculpt matches so nicely, but makes one wonder. Oh, and anything can be made low poly after the fact, not the best “evidence”. Just sayin. You do you though. If anything, we’ve learned that the more you say it online, the more true it is.

Although the shapes are similar they are both models inspired by McQuarrie’s Vader, I would like to pay the cost of that project just to show you that the geometries are different, rather than telling you that I’m 100% sure and giving the various time stamps I don’t know what do, the model you linked was published in 2024, mine was made in 2021, what can I say other than that they are inspired by the same source?
You do you. I’ll leave conclusions for others.
It’s no use, from the moment mkw has put forward a model they won’t delete it, I’ve made dozens of complaints and none have been successful, they don’t reject the complaint, they just don’t make any action on it

You must have missed the publication passage when you checked the box indicating that you had put the photo of the printed model, I have printed several of your models and none correspond to the photo
I don’t understand what you’re referring to, so many have printed my models and published the photos, I don’t understand how they differ, even the renderings are made with the same files as the printed models so I honestly don’t understand where you see these differences
