  • [Rant] It's frustrating when models are ONLY priced with vendors in mind

    Jump

  • Thank you for the perspective of being a designer, and for all the work shared with the community.

    I'm definitely thankful for Makerworld's incentives, and it shows with their abundance of great models.

  • Agreed with ALL this.

    People will just keep repeating it. Every. New. Print. "You could sell that!!" My coworkers can't comprehend just enjoying a hobby for the sake of it.

    (I've offered to print things at cost; they're not repeating it in a "I want one" kind of way).

  • Really? This would feel like an entitled overstep to me. No shade if that's what you do, it would just feel wrong to me.

  • Yeah, I don't blame artists for wanting a piece of the pie. Most artists have tiered payment options so licensed vendors pay more, but Hobbyists seem a bit lost in the crossfire sometimes. The AI slop model grift is getting worse too, which just rubs salt in the wounds.

  • I’m all for supporting artists and recognizing the time and effort it takes to create the model. I have a handful of Pateron subscriptions/donations.

    Encase you missed it the first time. This post is not whining about wanting free stuff.

  • I understand, which is why I don't really blame the individual artists. The 3D printing community has grown tremendously with modern 'user-friendly' printers, so naturally there's been a shift in demographics. It also doesn't help how much AI slop grifters are around now too. I just hate the general trend.

  • My Favorite Self-Hosted Apps Launched in 2025

  • Thanks, I do, but I have other non-technical family members. They request media via Jellyseer, which then sends the request to Sonarr.

    Most of the time it's fine, but when the show has 8 seasons? It'll download each episode individually - some of which won't be available/poor quality/no subtitles. There's often a season pack with all 8 seasons in it and are more reliable subtitles/quality wise.

    It's an infrequent but annoying quirk I have to manually intervene with.

  • Any initial thoughts so far (if you've had the time to look into them)? I really want to find something that can support multi-season downloads. The *arr stacks have rejected the feature in the past and it's been my biggest gripe lately.

    The alternatives seem pretty young still. I wonder if anyone's done a feature comparison between them...

  • I love this. We need a picture from the front to fully appreciate the spectacle.

  • Boots wanted his paw held

    Jump

  • Ahh! I thought it was for ventilating the hypothetical braincell his dome could hold. Silly me!

    That's exactly the energy he has here. The brushing and snuggling must be endless - he deserves no less!
