Now before I even get started I know this is a very controversial subject that everyone has there own opinions on.So now lets get into it. I run a small ebay store where I sell 3d printed items. Some of the models I did design myself in 360 fusion and print to sell. While there are quite a few others that I did not make that where taken from thingiverse.I recently had someone contact me and basically threaten to “Expose” me for listing these items, posting links to http://ift.tt/2f8jAWc im sure most of you have known about if not take a read. Basically some company took like 2000 items off thingiverse and was selling them using the thingiverse photos not giving credit to the artists, as well as selling items marked as non commercial.I was well aware of this and this that it is a scumbag thing to do. However, I do not see any issues with selling thingiverse items on other marketplaces. If of course according to the creative commons license it permits you to do so. The artist should have the right to choose what they want allowed from there work and if they chose to allow it to be used for commercial purposes then I do not see the harm. Shoot I have posted items on etsy and people can do as they please with them from the licensing I chose. If I create something I don’t want sold then I choose that license or don’t list it at all.Now in all my listings I do have a link saying original creator and and a link to the thingiverse page where you can download and print yourself as well as the text from the creative commons license that is tied to that specific item.What is your opinion it? If you are following the guidelines set out by the creator then whats the harm of selling the items so others who do not have a 3d printer can enjoy the models that have been created? http://ift.tt/2fem8Wn
