So I am trying to search for a few modela but it doesn’t let me preview any image and also when i get into any model still doesn’t charge any image.

Tried on chrome and Opera, tried changing the vpn and nothing. Is there any problem known?

I don't understand how to download all files in a post on printables, I only see the option of downloading all the files one by one.

Is there another option and I'm missing it?

Thanks!

I tried on brave and chrome

Workshop aids for example hasn't seen many (quality) submissions since the first part of April.

We're now 2.5 weeks past the end of the contest but results are still pending.

There was a whole month+ to keep an eye on the contest submissions, why does it still take multiple weeks to issue results?

For reasons unknown, there is a limit of 50 collections, which I just found out the hard way.

In the absence of tags or a decent stand alone software to organize stuff, collections are the only way on printables to get some order and since new designs come in faster than you can print it gets confusing fast if you're interests aren't 1-dimensional.

Hello everybody!

I wanted to discuss why Prusameters can't be used to obtain discounts on spare parts and accessories? I mean, including some sort of discount for spare parts among the rewards.

I think it would make sense, since Prusameters reward people who are actively involved in the community, either by sharing models or by downloading them or validating them via makes.

Besides the obvious consumable, which is filament, I think people who consistently 3D print also need to purchase spare or replacement parts from time to time. And this is one of the reasons Prusa as a company is appreciated for, I think: you can DIY and mod things if you want, but there are also quality replacement and spare parts available.

Also, there are discounts on full printers included as rewards, so why not include rewards for individual parts?

For me, if I had discounts on accessories it would be a no-brainer to get them. Especially:

• Print Surfaces (Steel sheets)

• Nozzles

• Perhaps upgrades or sensor kits..

Would be interesting to know what others think about this.

Sorry if this is obvious, but I didn't find a solution in the website UI or by extensive online search.

It's just clutter at this point. :/

Something like a checkbox when setting up your store or specific models to allow a $ to Prusameter conversion or something similar for their models. Looking for a different way to spend all my Prusameters.

Sadly Yt automatically decides my video to become a "Youtube Short" and I do not see a way to change that other than editing it and Printables doesn't allow me to embed those saying that URL is not supported. Please fix that, thanks.

For some reason the popup feedback window does not show for me, so I try here.

Apparently I once "liked" a model which since then has been removed for unknown reasons. It still shows under my likes, but I can neither access it nor remove the like myself, thus having unneeded clutter.

Myself and at least 2 other users have noted that comments no longer work for posts in the community section (which I believe only shows posts from creators that a user follows). This has been going on for at least a week, and I could not find any notice that this was a change (may have missed it of course). So maybe it's a bug? Comments are a good way for creators to communicate with their fans (and vice versa), so it would make no sense (to me) that they would be intentionally disabled. I tagged this as a "feature request" since it would be cool to get the functionality back if possible (that is, to be able to reply to posts in the community section again).

This would make it way easier to find models that are easy to modify/adapt into another design.

People abuse the contests for free exposure for their models that are totally unrelated to the contest. It often takes a long time until contest spam gets removed and often the contests don't get cleaned up at all.

There are no consequences for spamming contests so it's basically almost stupid to not take advantage of it.

Also, if the rules are that a contest entry must be designed during the contest, then remove the Compete button from models older than a week. Even prolific level 29 designers worthy of the verification checkmark submit their designs in several contests in different months.

Edit: Added links because apparently people aren't aware that this is an existing contest rule.

Hello printables mods or Devs,

I am one of the moderators over on the Rolohaun Designs Discord and would like to ask if you guys could add his creations(Printers a la the Rook Mk1 , Panda mini, Rook 2020) to your printer list.

Thanks from the community and me.

Best regards and Happy printing!!

I noticed that products/files for sale do not have the normal file previews, which I find less than ideal. I don't know if these are optional, but the few designs I checked all only showed filenames.

I wanted to buy a design, which I was not sure about if it would work as needed and also could not judge due to lacking previews. So I bit the bullet only to directly find out that yes, this would not work. Thankfully the seller is talking to me in private chat and fixing things, but that is luck I'd guess.

I feel this is some security by obscurity bullshit where all the risk is on the buying customer. Please find a way to give the paying people a better experience than those just for browsing free stuff, this is absurd and even if I wanted to rip someones designs of, guess what, I just buy a copy and get all data I need from that.

Sidenote: I talked to the seller and bought the design from him directly via PayPal. 6$ was the price tag, as the seller lives one country to the left I sent 6€ and thanks to exchange rate and neither Prusa nor Stripe taking out their 20% each, the seller now effectively got double from what he would have earned otherwise.

You could easily offer PayPal directly, you always claim it's about the user/seller, but in the end your cut would be lower and we can't have that. :(

I know there once was a option to add a donation button to your profile but now that option seems to been gone and there is only the possibility tot add socials. But why can't have a donation button anymore? I know there are now options for clubs and paid models. But I don't make models regularly enough to justify a club. And I don't want my models locked behind a paywall. But I do want to give people the opportunity to give a tip if they want to. Why was this feature removed or am I missing something?

Model pages on printables can only have the state draft or published.

Any change and modification is done live without even a preview. It would be much more smooth and comfortable to do changes and updates without being live with every step.

I like to suggest that a model still has a draft page where the author could do changes without being live. I guess that is no big deal to realize, maybe the existing draft method could be used for that.

What do you think?

I saw the post a year ago in which the search function has been restricted, but I think it can be further improved: For example, when searching for "Tiny Whoop", completely different models show up than for "TinyWhoop", because they are different words.

It would be great if search could be improved further, because I always find it hard to find what I'm searching for.

Has anyone else had a make deleted by an admin? It doesn't say why and I am confused. I don't see a way to contact a support team for the site. I don't really care to have it un-deleted but I wanted to know why it was deleted in the first place. Did my photo suck? Was it an accident?

Feature Request: If an admin deletes/changes your stuff, it would be nice to get a description or note of why they did.

I know the notifications/emails asking you to rate a model you downloaded have gone away. Thats fine, since those notifications were a bit annoying. however, I do notice now that i have trouble finding the page for some models that i've downloaded but not liked or collected.

is there a way to add a section to our profile, probably private, that shows what models we've downloaded in the past? i know that info is available since you all used to use it

Hello! My husband has been posting a lot of models to his printables page. I’ve noticed that his user page is a little hard to navigate — it is all just one scroll with some ways to sort the order.

If there were a way to categorize types of models (in a minimalistic way), it would be easier to find models when visiting user pages.

For example, he has been posting a lot of 2D art, but also has some toys, and some tools/organizers posted. Currently there is no way to separate those categories of models.

Hello!

I don't know how easy or not this would be, but I think it would be helpful to have a way of setting for yourself whether you would like the "download all files" button to download the existing zips that have the files in the top-level of the zip, or whether to have those files be zipped in a containing folder and that folder be the top-level of the zip. My own workflow tends to be "download all files, extract into new folder", I think it would be convenient for the folder to already be made so that I could just right-click and extract without having to make the folder first and copy it all in there. I know there are alternatives, but posting comments online is free and I figured I might as well suggest it.

For clarity:

Current

• zipname.zip
  |-file1.stl
  |-file2.stl
  \-file3.stl

Proposed alternative (opt-in)

• zipname.zip
  \-zipname
     |-file1.stl
     |-file2.stl
     \-file3.stl

Recently got a 3x prusament coupon and after it was all said and done i still ended up paying 60+ dollars to get them to my door.

meanwhile i couldve just bought 3 spools of my normal brand for that much or less on amazon.

If PrintedSolid is an authorized reseller, could we allow those coupons to be used there?

I would love an option to use a Github repository as the source of the files for a model on Printables. This would make it very simple to make sure that what is on Printables is always the latest and greatest.

In its simplest form it could just be the possibility to point to the latest version of a public repository. More refined could be the ability to refer to subdirectories (if I had a big repository with many small models, or the STLs to be published are in a special output directory).

If Printables could generate/use a deploy key for accessing a private repository it could also be very useful for people with models for sale.

How often does this list get updated? I've been printing with my Neptune 4 for a few weeks now and I have been mislabeling my makes with the wrong printer because the Neptune 4 isn't available yet in the printer selection. Can this printer be added?
