Based on recent user reports, we have identified a few users engaging in serious violations, such as the unauthorized use of others' models. Following an investigation, we have removed the infringing models from our platform.
For @giu_di3d, we have removed the infringing models and revoke his eligibility for the Challenge.
For those users engaging in widespread violations, such as @3dprintingclub and 3D_TAXI, we have revoked their eligibility to participate in contests and taken down all their models from our platform.
Makeronline is committed to maintaining a fair and friendly community for model designers, respecting their creative efforts, and protecting the copyrights of original authors. The investigation is ongoing, and we urge all Challenge participants to conduct self-checks on their uploaded models and voluntarily remove any infringing content. Failure to comply may result in disqualification from the Challenge, and serious offenders may face account suspension. We also welcome users to report any infringing models, preferably with accompanying links to the original works, to expedite the resolution process.
Thank you for your support, and let's continue to enjoy the fun of 3D printing together.
