CREATOR GUIDELINES

Share work you are proud of.

Make it yours

Upload only original work or files you have permission to distribute. Choose a license that matches those permissions and explain how others may use your design.

Make it useful

Add a clear title, a photo or render, and helpful printing information. Include dimensions, assembly instructions and recommended settings when relevant.

Make it clear

Describe exactly what is included. Use a ZIP archive for a model with multiple files. This first version accepts STL, OBJ, 3MF and ZIP files up to 25 MB.

Choose the right license

The license tells people what they may do with your design after downloading it. A free download does not automatically allow commercial use.

Personal use

For printing and using the design personally. Selling the printed pieces or selling, sharing or giving away the digital files is not permitted.

Example: someone may print your model for their own home, but may not sell copies.

Commercial use — physical prints

You may print this design and sell the physical pieces you produce. You may not sell, share, give away or redistribute the digital files, including modified versions. This permission applies only to this design; ownership of the design remains with its creator.

Example: someone may sell a printed domino table, but may not share or resell its STL or 3MF file.

CC BY 4.0

Allows printing, modifying and redistributing the design, including commercial use and selling physical pieces or digital copies. Users must credit the creator, link to the license and indicate any changes.

Read the official CC BY 4.0 terms ↗

CC0

Dedicates the design to the public domain to the extent allowed by law. Anyone may copy, modify, share and sell it, including digital files and physical pieces, without asking permission or being required to credit you.

Read the official CC0 terms ↗

Want to allow sales of printed pieces while keeping the digital files private? Choose Commercial use — physical prints.

These are practical summaries. Read the linked terms before choosing CC BY or CC0: changing your selection later does not withdraw permissions already granted. You can only grant rights that you own or are authorized to license; other rights, such as trademarks, may still apply.
