According to the creator of model on the left my similar free model on the right created from scratch and featuring different dimensions, different set of icons and a different font "infringes their copyright".

>On 14 August 2026, the uploader shared an image of my original Number Sense Flowers on Instagram, tagged my business account kindli.co, and then revealed their CAD model with the statement: “I don’t like waiting” and “Wouldn’t it be better to have nine petals instead of six though?”

>This provides direct evidence that the uploader accessed my work and deliberately used it as the basis for the model. I have never given this person permission to reproduce, adapt, digitise, upload, distribute or license my design.

The thing is: I posted my take on the concept a day before the files of the model on the left were released for sale. Do I miss something in understanding that while being implementations of the same idea (and ideas are not protected by copyright, concrete implementations are) these models are not copies?

Also, let's assume I'll adjust my design to use 9 petals instead of 6. Would you still consider it a "clone"?

Update 1: Martin's reponse:

>We understand your point regarding general design concepts, but we must respect the formal copyright report submitted by the original creator. Ideas themselves are copyrighted/same; your version and the original design are honestly very similar in their specific execution and details.
To ensure a fair process, we are currently waiting for additional data, patent documentation, and further responses from the reporting party. Once we receive and evaluate those details, we will get back to you with an update regarding your model.

Update 2: LOL, she (the seller of the flower STLs) just made a printable version of this https://imgur.com/a/sjor10E

Inspired by the stunning miniatures Michael Davydov creates, here is my humble take on the concept of a tiny house. Now I just need a few dozens more and a few years of practice, I guess.

The 75 mm scale, compared to 32 mm, offers so much more additional details, which continue to be recognizable even under a layer of primer. "Zarya Poleva" is a rare and beautiful example of a well pre-supported, not oversexualized female sculpt.

For what it is (an affordable entry-level canvas) this painting model of RX-78 offers nice color separation featuring white, "moon white" and grey parts. The building experience, compared to a HGish 8 € knock-off from AliExpress, is way more enjoyable as well.

While "zenithal priming with golden eyes" is not exactly an astonishingly creative concept and it also turned out a bit too bright, compared to what I imagined it to be, I still kinda like it. The obvious downside: any posing will kill the effect.

The only reference to GW were the tags "warhammer" and "40k". They are gone now. What is the problem? GW got copyright for greek letters and skulls?

Any trademarked terms/tags are gone. The model was declined (again).

I'm looking for an Illustrator plugin (web app?) to generate this kind of optical illusions quickly. Preferably the red lines will be seamlessly connected with blue lines while being some sort of an space-filling curve (Hilbert curve?). "Empty" space will still be filled with blue diagonal lines.

Here is a better ("handmade") demo. The white lines need to connect nicely:

Inspired by the organizer I found online. Besides the obvious one (greed) I really can't find any other reasons to skip on sharing basic models like this one with the community and to sell prints instead.

I don't own any Pokemon cards myself so here is Char instead of Charizard.

The compartments on the left side are for sleeved cards and on the right one — for top loaders.

Solid as well as a split in 3 parts version are available.

Would it be possible to make this kind of trinkets at home using a desktop UV-printer like the E1? Obviosuly delegating the cutting of the acrylic sheet to a laser cutter.

Printables went offline for me a few times yesterday and now it shows a quite prolonged security check almost every time I log in.

Are there any problems with the service?
