      @@-ljk- True .. in fact Bambulab copied a ton including taking over the entire Prusa Slicer. ;) BUT where they shine is actually they also dramatically improve things. Being on both platforms (Printables, Makerworld) with exactly the same 3D models I can say: A) porting over models to Makerworld from Printables was a breeze thanks to their easy workflow. B) The rewards cadency on Makerworld VASTLY outpaces the one on Printables. Like 1:5 - 1:10.
      I switched from being a long term Prusa fan to Bambu. Because everything feels similar ... but a lot more polished and smoother. That being said ... lets see how long the reward system will stay that lucrative. Time will tell ...

      ​@@-ljk- Prusa gives you like 30 points when your model is downloaded 100 times, sometimes you get no points at all when you reach a milestone for no particular reason.
      You need 350 points for one roll of filament and still have to pay for shipping.
      It costs me about 16€ and about 3 months to get a "free" roll of filament, which still costs me about 2x what I pay for 1kg of Sunlu filament, just for Prusa shipping.
      I mean free stuff is free stuff, I'm not complaining, but Prusa isn't really comparable to BambuLab here...

      @@kevbot. it's a somewhat long story.
      I started with ordering 2 X1C combo in september, but noticed at that point I wouldn't use both printers enough at that time and sold one of them.
      Then I noticed makerworld and got into 3D modelling and publishing my own models.
      I gained traction with some of my models over halloween and found a style of image creation (hueforge with glow in the dark filaments) that got really good feedback. I bought filament, spare parts and consumables from the points.
      Then I ordered a A1 mini combo, mostly paid in full with my own money as I was curios of the new model, then a short while after I had enough giftcards to get a P1S combo. Then before Christmas I got a A1 (standard). I sold that quickly as I reconsidered my available space and feel that it's better to focus on P1S printers for me.
      Now I just got points to get another P1S combo.
      I might sell the A1 mini and get a third P1S. (Which would by my 4th printer three P1S's and one X1C)
      To summarise: I have spent a fair bit of my own money, but the gift cards from makerworld have reduced my cost significantly. Let's say 25-35% of my total cost.
      My issue now is to actually have a good enough "business case" to justify having my own print farm 😂😂
      I have got the big three tech touch screen to be able to control all printers at once 😅
      I'm slightly embarrassed, but I might have gone way to hard into 3D printing this time 😂 Now I'm almost forced to start content creation or a 3D printing business 😂🙈

      But it started when I was trying to sell 3 printers that was not in use do to time and trobleshooting (Ender3 pro, CR10-s and tenlog tl3d).
      Then I discovered the X1C and bought two x1c combo in september.
      I quickly saw that one would be more than enough at that point and sold one.
      I then noticed makerworld in october and got interested in modeling my own models due to feeling I got something back if I managed to publish desirable models. The contest over Halloween spiked my interested and I put alot of time and effort to publish models that could be of interest. Some of the models got popular and gained some income in terms of points.
      I also found my own style of hueforge images that got popular (hueforge with glow in the dark filament)
      I bought consumables, spare parts and filaments from the first points. Then I purchased the A1 mini combo (from my own money) out of interest as I liked Bambu Lab products and community and wanted to experience the new model.
      Then I partially covered a P1S combo out of gift cards in November.
      Then I bought a A1 in December also partially covered by gift cards.
      Now I am about to get a second P1S combo fully covered.
      I have sold the A1 and will most likely sell the A1 mini and buy a third P1S to focus on the P1S and X1C models as the form factor suits my available space better. (I love the quality and silence of printing from the A1 series, so it's only due to space management)
      I also have the big three tech touch screen that can control up yo 9 printers at the same time.
      Long story short. The giftcards and makerworld platform has helped partially financing a potential 3D printing business or content creation posibility and reducing the risk of investment.
      Now my biggest worry is to figure out what I should make 😬😅

    I don't think it's gonna last much longer since you are trying to popularize it.

      You are probably right, but keep in mind that they wouldn't be giving away so many points if they thought it was bad for business. It is great marketing, like you said. They are bringing a lot of designers/creators over to there platform who are going to post great models for them, which in turn will attract more people who 3D print to there site. The more people they have in there ecosystem, the more money they will potentially make. So I'm sure they look at being generous with there points as a great thing for them to do. That's my thoughts on it, but I could be wrong.

      You also have to consider the barriers to creating these models.

    How exactly did you get one for free with your amount of downloads? If Im correct, it takes about 8820 points to get a printer for free, which even if you got 3 points per download (which only is true if for the first 50 downloads of each model, which means most of your downloads are worth 1 point), you would have around 7000, which when accounting for most downloads being worth less than that, you should have I think it was less than 3000 points (not including print profiles, but the print profiles don't get as many points or downloads). So, how did you get that many points, is there something I am missing?

      That's tough; you really need a printer to earn points so you can test your designs and print profiles. If I were you, I would buy a cheap printer just temporarily and then use it to start earning points for another printer.
      You could also technically get away with designing models and uploading them to Makerworld without a printer. Just make sure to slice the model after you make it and really study it to see if it will print correctly.

      ​​​@@powerpow365My model was already known on Printables and had been downloaded over 40k times. I also used the same thumbnail. Maybe one or the other has recognized it.
      But I didn't use advertising then, as I do now - but it would make sense to do so. It is important to have a high-quality thumbnail that already shows a solution to a problem or the benefits. Furthermore, the name is extremely important. It should be memorable and self-explanatory.
      A good product description and other nice looking pictures are logically also helpful.
      But ultimately it comes down to a good design that also takes into account the limitations of 3D printing. The majority of makers are also trying their hand at smaller objects that can be printed quickly.
      I'm an industrial designer myself and I think it's great that so many people are interested in product design because of 3D printing. But publishing great, successful products also takes years of experience, a lot of research, timing or sometimes even luck. You have to remember that. :)
