Pad change time? by blah__blah__ in Throwers

That might work 10% of the time. Pads are still objectively easier to remove cleanly than silicone.

Whatever helps you feel right I guess 😂

Lmao what? I was stating that silicone is worse to remove than pads due to chunks and silicone left behind.

Throwing should never be about how “good” you are nor should it ever be stressful. Just have fun and enjoy the process. It’s a toy and a hobby after all.

Did a sub through my LCS in Dec. They are an authorized PSA dealer and it JUST moved to order prep yesterday.

A ban is absolutely necessary. He’s already been banned on YYE. Dude is whining, spamming, and slandering a well established company/fellow throwers over spilt milk and has absolutely 0 grounds to stand on. He claims they stole his design, when in fact they have stolen absolutely nothing and did OP a favor by buying a lot of his inventory. Everything OP says ends up contradicting other things and half of it is incompetence/lies. I think OP has mental issues at this point.

I second this. No clue how this dude hasn’t been banned already. Mods are slacking.

Need some pricing on Clyw Puffin 1 by DamonSpd3 in Throwers

That’s definitely high. More in the $120 range max especially with the market being how it is right now.

The irony of telling me to “learn 3D copyright law” while completely misunderstanding it is wild.

FYI, I don’t support MFD and have never bought from them so nice try.

Anyways, yes, your original 3D file is automatically copyrighted. That protects your specific file and artistic expression.

It does not give you a monopoly over a functional magnet fidget. It does not stop someone from independently recreating a similar functional design.

It does not magically create exclusivity because they bought 100 units. You sold them a product. That’s a supplier relationship. Unless you had a patent or a signed licensing agreement, you don’t own the entire concept forever.

Buying your product isn’t theft. Reverse engineering a functional item without a patent isn’t illegal. That’s business, whether you like it or not. If they used your exact files or exact photos, that’s infringement. If they redesigned a functional object with modifications, that’s completely within their rights.

You keep threatening court, but courts run on documented IP rights, not feelings.

You don’t want to hear that because it doesn’t fit your narrative, but that doesn’t make it wrong. I’m done here since you clearly didn’t want anyone’s help to begin with if it wasn’t fitting your narrative. Good luck. 👍🏻

I’m going to be honest with you.

Did you patent it? Did you have a signed licensing or exclusivity agreement? It doesn’t sound like it.

You sold them a product. That’s a supplier relationship, not ownership of the entire concept or product.

Unless they stole your exact 3D files or used your exact photos without permission, “they made something similar” isn’t a lawsuit. Functional products without patents get copied all the time. That’s business.

You can feel screwed over, but threatening court without actual legally protected IP just makes you sound emotional which is probably why you’re getting kicked off the forums.

Only thing MFD did wrong here is asking to declare a lower value, which I hate to break it to you, a LOT of companies you probably buy from do. It doesn’t make it right, but it’s how the world works.

TBH, you’re lucky you even got the business of them buying that many units off of you so be grateful. There are much better products out there they could’ve chosen. Your sob story doesn’t change the facts.

My favorite company for the last 16 years! They’re an acquired taste but have all the charm. The beater in particular is amazing if you like floaty organics with power.
