Thingiverse Reviews

a lot of problems sadly

this site has fallen into disgrace compared to its former self i have been part of this site since 2010 but no longer shall i be so since makerbot owner of thingiverse have put my account under moderation without telling me why and them not anwsering any of my emails This have been going on for 1month now i have come to the conclusion that they are not going to help me like i have read online that they havent managed to do so to many other users but if you want to know how the website is allow me to give you a quick overlook - over half of the occasions you can t reply to other people s messages - your collections are disappearing and you can t delete them if this happens so if you have saved a model in that collection then you will never be able to move it over to another collection ever since that can only be done from the collection itself - when trying to download a model then you just get a 404 page and reloading the website does not fix this issue so if the person didnt upload it to another site then you wont be able to download it - as mentioned before there are no support to help you out no one anwsering the emails neither when send to thingiverse or makerbot directly -if you have designed something from the ground like a figure in my case it was a screw driver that used standard bits then it might get removed for copyright infringement and then removed and their is nothing you can do to proof that this is false - are you trying to post a model you made well in my case i just got a bunch or error messages so i had to start all over and after the 5 time in a row i gave up i dont want it to seem that i hate thingiverse for i dont im just sad and disapointed in them for letting such a great site go so much down hill sadly

Barely usable piece of garbage site

Barely usable piece of garbage site that also leaks your password as icing on the t rd-cake

how is their website so broken

how is their website so broken It wont show all my collections Projects the search engine is so bad it cant find anything

SLOW SLOW SLOW

To say that a website as great as this can t handle the traffic is shocking They run lots of paid ads so can t be short of money Whats the problem with giving some of that to the web developers to sort this out I myself have now been looking elsewhere for content since the thingyverse website is dire

Was always slow but they seem to have

Was always slow but they seem to have recently changed there website layout and it is now worse than ever The page hardly every loads up so you have to keep refreshing it to try get it to work and also lots of the design files now seem to be missing

Censorship run rampant

Censorship run rampant My most popular model for a model rocket was taken down with no option to appeal or review One of the few things that had some popularity on my profile and now losing that messes with my stats on the site Someone clicks the report button Guilty with no option to prove innocent

The admins don t give a crap

The admins don t give a crap You can spend ages building up a community and then get banned by some idiot reporting you for no reason maybe they re just jealous and then you re presumed guilty and banned without appeal Nice thanks guys What really grinds my gears is that I wasn t banned for copyright infringement I don t think - because I wasn t using anyone s IP and yet right now I can browse their site and right on the front page are TONS of models violating other company s IP anyway
