Unbelievable but true, 10,000 recorded prints of my models on MakerWorld.

A big thank you to all makers who contributed to this success! You make me smile…

But if you have a closer look than you will see that there are only 4.2k likes, hmm!? Does this mean that the designs are downloaded and printed but the people who did that didn't like what they do?

Really, if I find a design where I think “Wow, cool” then I like it, even if I don't download or print it. So, if all people would do that, than there should be more likes than downloads or prints. I am wondering what I haven't understood and even thinking about it a while doesn't help, I don't get it.

Did you know that you can like an unlimited number of models? And that doesn't cost you anything! But every designer gets a smile in his face if his models got likes. So if you don't give a like to the models you download or print, then think about it. You don't pay for the models, the designer invests his time and energy without getting payed by anyone. Even publishing a model with some good photos needs some time. Is it asked too much to show some appreciation?

If you think: “Hey, I will like it if it prints fine!”, then you are wrong in my opinion. That is something for a five star review.

So may be give a like more easily next time, and make the designers happy!
