#PrintClinicI designed this Lanyard Pen for exhibitions and public events, so I needed to print a whole batch at once. During my initial tests with a single pen, the surface was incredibly clean and smooth. However, when I cloned it to print multiple pieces, an ugly artifact appeared on the upper section of the logo tag on every single pen, as shown in the image below. Whether I printed two or ten, the issue persisted as long as there was more than one pen on the build plate. I tweaked numerous settings and tested the print on different machines, including the H2D, P2S, and P1P, but nothing worked. That was until I found a solution.While reviewing the different color schemes in Bambu Studio, I noticed that the biggest difference between printing one pen versus multiple pens was the print speed. The single-layer print speed for one pen was significantly slower than for multiple pens, as shown in the two images below. This made me realize the issue must be cooling-related: when printing multiple pieces, the nozzle moves too fast and spends too little time on each layer, leaving the cooling fan insufficient time to cool each layer properly. Since cooling-related settings are typically modified within the filament profile (which is saved locally to the user's device), the best way to embed this fix directly into the print profile was to adjust the model's process settings instead. I added a modifier (Cylinder) to the problem area of each pen and lowered the print speed within that modifier to the values shown in the image(The cylinder modifier above is used to add a fuzzy skin to the model). After slicing, the print speed in that specific zone matched the speed of a single-pen print. Then, I ran a test.The results were perfect! The issue was completely resolved. What’s even better is that when printing three pens, using the modifier only added 9 minutes to the total print time—a negligible impact. Finally, I can mass-produce this pen! If you run into a similar issue, give this method a try!

Structales - Roadrunner4d - a VFX artist with 15+ years in Film & TV Daniel Mueri - better known on MakerWorld as Structales - Roadrunner4d, has spent the last 15 years working as a VFX artist in the film and advertising industries. A co-founder of Cloudscape in Switzerland, he specializes in compositing, animation, and visual effects for commercial clients. His name also appears on IMDb thanks to his work on the 2009 sci-fi film „Cargo” and many other projects. Although 3D modeling has been part of his professional life for years, he only truly became interested in it when he discovered 3D printing. What had previously been just another step in a production pipeline suddenly became something tangible he could hold in his hands. Initially focused on functional objects, Daniel's creative direction changed after entering a castle-themed MakerWorld competition. Returning to Cinema 4D software, he developed a distinctive workflow that combines polygonal modeling, texture-driven detailing, and a cinematic aesthetic inspired by theme parks, fantasy worlds, and movie props. Today, as Structales - Roadrunner4d, he is well recognized by MakerWorld’s community for creating marble runs, fantasy buildings, mechanical puzzles, and interactive display pieces. Recently, he expanded into laser cutting with the Bambu Lab H2D, combining engraved wood and 3D-printed components in increasingly ambitious creations. Despite successful crowdfunding campaigns and a growing audience, Daniel remains motivated primarily by curiosity and creativity. After years of creating digital worlds for screens, he now focuses on designing physical objects that people can touch, assemble, and experience in the real world. Read his story and the principles that guide him in his daily work: https://blog.bambulab.com/vfx-artist-by-day-maker-by-night/ Want to bring a piece of his cinematic universe into your own home?

Hello everyone,MakerLab's generative features are increasingly used for compute-intensive scenarios like Image to 3D and Make My Statue. The current "consume Credit upon export" rule can no longer support the growing generation demand, and it limits our ability to optimize queuing and integrate higher-quality models and features. Therefore, we plan to officially launch the updated MakerLab Credit billing and acquisition rules in late June 2026. After the new version goes live, some generative features will switch from "consume Credit upon export" to "consume Credit upon generation". Credit consumption for some features will also be adjusted based on actual compute costs. The exact cost varies by feature and generation type, and will be clearly shown before you start a generation. Beyond billing changes, this adjustment lays the foundation for faster, more stable, higher-quality generation going forward. This announcement covers the core changes, transition arrangements, and how previously exchanged Credits will be handled. 1. Core ChangesAfter the new version launches, Credit billing and acquisition will change as follows:Billing timing changes: Some generative features will switch from "consume upon export" to "consume upon generation";Per-generation cost increases: Per-generation Credit consumption for some features will increase, potentially reaching 30+ Credits;Free trial method changes: Monthly free Credits will be replaced by limited account-level feature trial uses, no longer refreshing monthly;Points exchange rate changes: The MakerWorld Points to MakerLab Credit exchange rate will change; the current 1:10 (MakerWorld Points to MakerLab Credits) rate will be discontinued;Historical exchanges can be refunded: Eligible unused Credits exchanged via MakerWorld Points can be refunded to Points based on historical exchange records;Direct purchase added: Direct purchase of MakerLab Credits will be supported.We'll also roll out generation experience and feature improvements at launch and in subsequent updates:For relevant generators, the maximum number of supported projects will increase from 30 to 500;Make My Statue will support retaining multiple generation results, and higher-precision 3D model versions will roll out gradually;Concurrent Image to 3D tasks will increase from 1 to 5, with more advanced, higher-quality models from different providers integrated later.Future updates will go beyond the items above, with more generation capabilities and experience improvements to come.To ease the transition, each account can still exchange Credits at the 1:10 ratio with a limited quota from this announcement's release date until launch. 2. Why We're Adjusting the Billing MethodCurrently, some generative features mainly charge a small amount of Credit at export, with generation itself essentially free. This lowered the barrier to try features but brought clear limitations.Generation tasks incur substantial real compute costs. For Image to 3D:Users typically consumed only 2 Credits when exporting a model;At the current Points exchange value, those 2 Credits are worth less than 0.02 USD;The actual compute cost per generation can exceed 0.2 USD;Users often generate multiple times before exporting just one result.In other words, past pricing covered only a small fraction of compute costs; when users generate multiple times and export only one result, real coverage may drop below 1/30 of the actual cost.As users and demand grow, we've had to limit concurrent generation tasks to control compute spending and concurrency, leading to queuing and long waits for some users.Switching to "consume Credit upon generation" aligns Credit consumption more closely with actual compute costs, creating room to improve generation speed, queue stability, model quality, and new feature rollouts. 3. Transition Arrangements and Timeline1. After This AnnouncementFrom the publication date until the new version launches:The current Credit price and "consume upon export" rule remain unchanged;Each account can still exchange up to 150 Credits at the 1:10 ratio; further 1:10 exchanges are unavailable once the quota is used;Already-exchanged Credits will remain valid and will not be cleared or frozen.2. At New Version LaunchThe new billing rules are expected to launch in late June 2026. The exact timing is subject to the official launch notice.The following changes will take effect simultaneously at launch:Some generative features will start consuming Credits under the new generation-based rules;Monthly free Credits will be replaced by limited account-level feature trial uses;The 1:10 Points-to-Credit exchange rate will be officially discontinued;The new exchange rate takes effect: 80 MakerWorld Points for 600 MakerLab Credits;The portal for refunding historically exchanged Credits to Points will open;Direct purchase of MakerLab Credits will go online. 4. Free Trial Method ChangesAfter launch, instead of issuing a fixed number of free Credits each month, we'll provide a limited number of account-level feature trial uses.These trial uses apply to designated features, do not refresh monthly, and won't auto-recover next month once used up. Specific counts, applicable features, and validity are subject to in-product prompts.The current monthly free Credits (which expire within the month) will be canceled at launch. Unused portions won't carry over and aren't eligible for Points refunds. 5. Points to Credit Exchange ChangesThe MakerWorld Points to MakerLab Credit exchange rate will be adjusted alongside other changes.The current 1:10 ratio won't be discontinued immediately. Until launch, each account can still exchange at 1:10 with a limited quota.Specifically:Each account can exchange up to 150 Credits at 1:10 during the transition period;Once the quota is reached, the account cannot exchange further at 1:10;The 1:10 rate is officially discontinued at launch;The new rate is 80 MakerWorld Points for 600 MakerLab Credits. 6. Refunding Historical Exchanged Credits to PointsWe understand the new billing method affects Credits' real purchasing power for generation.So for unused MakerLab Credits exchanged via MakerWorld Points, we'll offer the option to refund Points after launch.Eligible for refund:Unused Credits exchanged via MakerWorld Points before this announcement;Unused Credits exchanged via MakerWorld Points during the transition period.Refund rules:Based on corresponding historical exchange records;Calculated using the actual exchange rate at that time, not the new rate;Used Credits are not refundable;Credits not from Points exchange are not refundable;Monthly free Credits expiring within the month are not refundable;Credits from events, compensations, or other special sources are not refundable.The refund portal opens at launch. You'll be able to view refundable Credits, corresponding Points, and related exchange records there. 7. Direct Credit PurchaseAfter launch, direct purchase of MakerLab Credits will be supported.Direct purchase will be the primary way to acquire Credits, suited for users who use MakerLab features continuously and frequently.Points-to-Credit exchange will remain, but as a supplementary benefit for active community users. You can earn Points through MakerWorld community engagement and contributions, then exchange them for some Credits.Pricing, tiers, validity, and refund rules for direct purchases will be announced at launch. 8. FAQ1. Is this a price increase?Yes. For some generative use cases, post-adjustment Credit consumption will rise significantly, and the same Credit amount will support fewer generations.This isn't just a change in deduction timing. Previously, some generative features mainly charged a small amount of Credit at export, with generation itself essentially free; after launch, these features will charge upon generation, aligning consumption with real compute costs.Some features may consume 30+ Credits per generation. Exact costs will be clearly shown before you start.2. What happens to my existing Credits?After launch, the exchanged Credits can still be used for MakerLab features. However, due to consumption changes, the same Credit amount may support fewer generations.If these exchanged Credits remain unused, you can apply for a Points refund based on historical exchange records after launch.3. Will monthly free Credits continue?No, not in the current form.After launch, the fixed monthly free Credit issuance will be canceled and replaced by limited account-level feature trial uses.These uses don't refresh monthly and won't auto-recover next month once used up.The current monthly free Credits (expiring within the month) will be canceled at launch. Unused portions won't carry over and aren't eligible for Points refunds.4. Why keep limited 1:10 exchange before launch?To provide a transition window.This gives users with ongoing needs time before the official rule switch.So until launch, each account can still exchange at 1:10 with a limited quota. This avoids abrupt changes and lets users with genuine needs continue using MakerLab features.5. What rate applies to Points refunds?Refunds are based on your actual historical exchange records, not the new rate.If you exchanged Credits at a more favorable rate during an event, the system calculates Points for remaining Credits based on historical exchange batches and consumption status. Refundable amounts and calculations are subject to the refund portal display.6. How are failed or regenerated tasks billed?For system-caused failures, the corresponding Credits are refunded.Regeneration is billed as a new generation request. More billing details will be explained via in-product prompts at launch.7. What's the difference between direct purchase and Points exchange?Both yield MakerLab Credits usable for MakerLab features.Direct Purchase: Suited for continuous, high-frequency MakerLab use, and will be the primary way to acquire Credits going forward;Points Exchange: A benefit for active community users, suitable for supplementing Credits with MakerWorld Points. 9. FeedbackFor questions or suggestions on this Credit billing adjustment, please share via our ticket system.We'll keep collecting feedback and provide more rule details at launch, including Credit consumption standards, deduction rules, direct purchase pricing, validity periods, and the Points refund process.

I've been quietly working on this for longer than I'd care to admit. It started when I caught myself opening my MakerWorld profile on my phone way too often, just to see what changed. Did anyone download the new model? Did i gain more followers? How did today compare to yesterday?  I'm a developer by day, so I did what developers do: I built a small companion app to scratch my own itch. I called it MakerStats, and over time it has grown into something I genuinely use every day.  I figured I'd share it here in case other creators might find it useful too.  What it actually showsMakerStats pulls together the public stats from any MakerWorld profile and lays them out in a way that's easier to scan than tabbing around on a small screen. For your own profile, you can also sign in to see your earnings data, with regular and exclusive points combined, which I always found a bit fiddly to add up manually.The things I personally use the most:Daily increase counters for downloads, likes, follows, boosts, prints, and points, with a clean baseline that resets at midnightHome Screen widgets, Live Activities, and lock screen stats, so your latest numbers are always one glance awayModel performance with color-coded badges for trending, featured, and exclusive designs, so you can spot which of your prints are catching onPoints tracking in your local Points Shop currency (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, KRW, CNY), with automatic detection of withdrawalsCrowdfunding tracking for active, upcoming, and past campaigns, with cumulative-raised charts and reward-tier breakdownsInteractive growth charts across 7-day, 30-day, 180-day, and 365-day views, with tap-any-bar to see exact values for that dayMulti-account support, in case you manage more than one MakerWorld profileConfigurable notifications for follower milestones, model trending events, and new pledgesA note on dataEverything  MakerStats shows uses publicly available data that MakerWorld already exposes on profile pages. You don't need to sign in at all to look up a profile, browse a creator's models, or check stats. Signing in is only there for your own points and earnings, since those aren't public.And on the app's side, there's no analytics, no tracking, and no ads. Your data stays on your device.  Where to find itIt's on the App Store and Google Play, just search for MakerStats. A macOS version is in the works for anyone who'd rather glance at numbers on a bigger screen.If you try it and something feels off, or there's a number you wish it tracked, send me a note. I'm a creator on here too, and pretty much every feature in the app today came from someone else asking for it. P.S. App is paid, but it is a one time payment for lifetime ownership. I did not want to make it into subscription and i did not want to have annoying adds.  Happy tracking,  Minimal.
