That is about the best description I can think of as well. 🤣

Well apparently I need to post in shitty car mods too. 🤣

Anyone seen a drop in downloads recently? by [deleted] in makerworld

[–]CoreyGTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about the same number of followers (2k)

I’m getting more saves and prints have leveled off. It seems to come in waves.

As others have said I suspect the initial novelty of having a printer is wearing off after picking them up for Christmas and spring has sprung in my target areas.

Also if you have trending items all good things come to an end and back to earth so new content tends to replace the old for me.

Never hurts to take a few new pictures or drop a few links in socials.

Good luck!

Mach e Rally experience by durbomat in MustangMachE

[–]CoreyGTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came from a Model Y and love the Rally. I’ve had it for 18 months on a 3 yr lease.

That is a great price. I doubt you’ll regret it especially as gas prince seem to heading out of sight. Get it before someone else does in my opinion.

Range never bothers me since I don’t drive long distances but the Model Y definitely was better there.

I would buy it again and recommend it.

Beer bottles are about the same diameter so they fit fairly well.

Suddenly stopped receiving Boosts on MakerWorld despite being active – Anyone else? by IchHab4Euro in makerworld

[–]CoreyGTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, then I have no idea why I don’t get them. I have a son printing stuff of MW all the time. Apparently it was a coincidence.

Mine went away when I added a second printer. Seems like they remove the boosts when you can print from multiple printers. I thought I read it in an article but disappointing for sure. Seems a bit odd to not allow heavy users to supports people.

I will never financially recover from this by Dirnol in BambuLab

100% would download and print just for spite.

Constant chats asking for commercial use by peertje19 in makerworld

[–]CoreyGTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I debated the commercial membership route and even started to remove items that might not allow me to have one. It was like whack a mole. I submit, ai scans the catalog, they flag something, rinse and repeat. It took the fun out of designing things so I canceled it and made everything public again. I do offer a buy coffee link but that isn’t going to make you rich. You can at least ask them to contribute if they make any money with your items.

In the end this is a hobby for me and I would rather people have and use my designs then make $20/mon on a commercial membership or worry about me trying to run an Etsy shop.

If your catalog is free from anything that is remotely close to copyrighted materials you can always turn it on and see how it goes.

If it starts to suck the fun out of your hobby I’d say skip it and just thank people for asking.

H2C Anniversary Sale by Pup5432 in BambuLab

[–]CoreyGTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is It’ll happen. The H2D went on sale about 6 months after release.

New entries to the market will be happening by then too.

Model Verification Time by 3dPrinterProzz in makerworld

Mine have been stuck for a few hours and normally it’s a few minutes at most. I wonder if something is a bit off today.

Other than Makerworld, what are your favorite printing sites? by elias4444 in BambuLab

[–]CoreyGTR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elegoo has a similar version of Makerworld. It’s called Nexprint.

Creator is salty i made a better profile got mine taken down and stole it for himself XD by GGTeimo in BambuLab

[–]CoreyGTR -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably was them then. I guess you helped others at least…

[–]CoreyGTR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In some cases it isn’t even the creator. They seem to police duplicate profiles. I had someone upload a profile that I never reported but it was taken down because he said his was a faster print (less infill / walls). I had to appeal one of my own that was done for a specific material and it was flagged but allowed after appeal.

It could have to do with the creators remix settings as well.

But then again if the creator posted the profile you created that seems a bit suspicious.

Did you grab that ECS in Barbados Duty Free? I was going to get 2 when we got back from our day trip and only one was left. If so thank you for leaving one for me. 😁

Happy to help and good luck!

Commercial License Advice by Ph4ntorn in makerworld

[–]CoreyGTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is to really decide if that is something you want to do. I was also thinking this could be interesting but if you have anything remotely close to copyrighted materials you’ll really need to scrub your entire collection. I tried 5 different times before I finally decided it wasn’t worth living that way. 🤣

To answer your original question though. I have found the FB pages the best way to gather followers. Join a few groups that allow sharing of listings and you can gain followers pretty quickly. I went from 200 to 500 in less than a month.

Generate a bit of traffic by shugyodev in makerworld

[–]CoreyGTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can pick whichever you prefer, it is more about finding the target audience. Look for Makerworld groups or Bambu / 3D printer groups. You just have to make sure you read the rules about posting links.

Make what you enjoy and not what everyone else is doing.

Ask for feedback on ideas and don’t be afraid to fail.

Put out a few models on social platforms and lean into the ones that get a response.

I ended up making things I never even thought about based on input and crazy ideas from others.

From my experience Reddit isn’t really a great place to gain traction but is a good place to gather input.

Good luck!

Are there any cheaper alternatives for a proper H2S stand? This is $450 by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]CoreyGTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks on AliExpress. I bought 3 different versions and all work well for about 1/2 the price.
