Some of the other comments i read about this aren't quite correct. This would fall under copyright, so patents (design or not) wouldn't really matter.

If sending the letter has no effect, you will have to get a lawyer and think if you want to take the effort of court action

The start is always: I am not a lawyer.

But if you feel that someone is infringing on your copyright, the best option is to start off with a cease and desist message or file a DMCA request.

That message on them updating the site has been there for at least 5 years. I think dongiverse is very very dead

Waaay back in the early day of Thingiverse someone setup Dongiverse. It's still online, but doesn't seem to have gotten any updates for a looong time: dongiverse.com

Thingiverse used to not allow anything that was overtly sexual (I blame it being ran by Americans).

We allow these items now, provided that they are tagged as NSFW.

Uh. We don't. But we have some image resizing going on, so that might be misbehaving.

Probably true. We've setup protections against this type of scraping, but these bots keep finding ways to circumvent our protections :(

It also greatly depends on *how* you add them. Cura ads the modifier meshes in a way that you can delete them in all other slicers. Prusa ads them (last i checked) in a way that you cant. Bambu doesn't even use the default 3MF implementation (which is why it plays so badly with the others)

When you unzip the 3MF it's not converting it to STL. But 3MF and stl are both surface meshes.

Under the hood, Bambu is just converting the step to STL. So when it says "Higher resolution" it is flat out lying to you.

Just realized I didn't say "on thingiverse"

Yeah, you can. In your account settings you can hide all AI things.

There is a small bug in the caching with that, but we will fix that soon!

Not in all cases, that's also why it's just flagging stuff for a human moderator to have a look.

They 100% were. But now people get to be super upset again.

Congratulations!

✨ Special stream this week! We have @nallath.bsky.social, Software Architect from Thingiverse as a guest! We'll be playing Thingiverse Roulette and chatting about Thingiverse. What do you want to learn? Join us live on Tuesday, around 19h UTC on www.twitch.tv/layerswithli...

I usually go for a theme like "Remember why we fight" or another short evocative sentence. The scenes and BBEG are a way to invoke / achieve that theme.

I think i've nicked that idea from a ST guide at one point. I think it was VTM, but not sure.

It might hurt semi professional modelers though. They often have subscriptions (that are a lot more pricy) that allow commercial printing of their designs.

As far as I know, this is often a huge chunk of their income

Ik kan je verzekeren dat er geen MAGA werkt hoor ;) Het gehele Thingiverse team zit in Nederland.

We're going to be 3D printing a dragon hoard with copper and steel fills. Maybe experiment with some rub and buffs. What should we add to our treasure chest?

I'd recommend joining the larp-platform discord. It's a big dutch community for LARP and there are quite some international larpers there (or well, people that don't speak Dutch) Link is: discord.gg/uFnqEn8

Pretty much any part of the Netherlands has a huge LARP community. The country is also small enough that I wouldn't even consider it to be separate communities in the first place.

That looks like the "photobooth" an old makerbot project. I think it was made ~10 years ago when makerbot had physical stores.

Oh yeah, i know its standard. I personally never look back on notifications, so to me the deletion is the same as marking em as read.

But are there things missing in the analytics page (which should do what you describe)?

Just for my understanding, what would be the befit of marking it as read over just deleting it?

I'm not super happy with how it works right now, but it's at least a bit better than when we found it.

I'll challenge our UX guy again to see if there are more low hanging fruits.

Or you use an open source one...

That entirely depends on what you write. I know quite a few rambling boomers.

Why not? I think someone will waste more time in figuring out what you're trying to say.

The bee movie is something you could fix server side with a single filter.

It would be such a same if people would use LLM to generate responses to this that are super vague but appear to be genuine.
