@@-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 ...

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 😂🙈

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.

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?

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. :)

That's tough; you really need a printer to earn points so you can test your designs and print profiles.

​@@mateibocanciosthat makes more sense 3p per download up to 50 and then 1p per d

Do you know how many downloads in total you need to get a printer ? from my calculations its about 15k which seems awfully high . I read up on it and it says 1 point per download after 50 downloads . Did I make a mistake ?

@kevbot.

@@kevbot. It does I've seen it. However we need more points and printers are more expensive here. I calculated that I'd need smth with about 5000 downloads to be able to get a A1 combo

I'm a design engineer craving for a 3D printer for the last 6-7 years. My time has come. Let me know if you want something to be designed lol.

how is all the work needed for this free? i need less regular work to buy one for full price.

some people don't get to live as you i for example have to work 9h 27day a month to make 220USD maybe if i teach my younger brother how to model and use free time so we both get a cheaper 3D printer and have to pay only for customs

Do you need bambu printer for this? I have artillery printer

No, for models, it doesn't matter at all (but you do have to upload a physical picture), but if you are uploading a print profile, it has to be sliced it in Bambu Studios (which has more printers than just Bambu Labs printers, so it is still fine with any printer).

how many points did you need

@kevbot.

4 ай бұрын

For a P1S, about 8,600.

You can no longer do this. They changed the scoring algo and it's very hard to get points now.

@kevbot.

True, they did cut the point back. It does still work though, it will just take longer.

Only for US, right?

It is definitely a possibility. It seems like Bambu has already caught on to people trying to exploit the system. I see them doing checks on my account to make sure the points I got are legit. I assume they are doing it for everyone.

Can i upload not my models but downloaded somewhere. If they are free to download and claim no copyright?

Does anyone have any advice on thinking of ideas to make. I’m interested in making models for fun and the points would be nice if I end up getting them I want to get into making models and I know some CAD but my brain goes empty trying to think of something to make.
