Made a Franky BF-36 Cyborg deckbox as a donation for my local card shop 💙

Wanted to give back a bit to the local TCG community in Thessaloniki, Greece, so I designed and printed a Franky BF-36 deckbox and donated it to my favorite local store — they'll be giving it away on this weekend's tournament.

Would you use it?

I built a 3D-printed RC Diglett that hides under the sand. A 3D-printed Diglett that actually pops out of the ground. I turned Diglett into a real RC animatronic.

I updated my sectioned Facehugger Egg with a removable transparent shell. Would love some feedback!

I’ve been revisiting this Facehugger Egg project and wanted to experiment with a different way of presenting the cross-section.

The main challenge was keeping the complete silhouette of the egg while still making all the internal anatomy visible.

My solution was to create a separate removable front shell that can be printed in transparent or translucent resin.

With the shell installed, you still get the complete shape of the egg while being able to see the Facehugger and internal details through it. Then the entire front can be removed whenever you want an unobstructed view of the cross-section.

I also prepared different versions for FDM and SLA because I wanted the geometry to work better with each printing method rather than simply using the same version for everything.

Thanks to Ganbaru Studios for suggesting the transparent shell idea!

I’d love to hear what other Alien fans and 3D artists think about the solution.

How long is the site usually down for? And what causes it?

The site 403ed again (didn't know it was common till i checked the sub) and i wanted to know how long does it take? And if it's known. What does it?

I've submitted a recommendation to downdetector which everyone else should do because once it's on there we can monitor it when this does happen

Edit: it seems to have been fixed over night

What i could dig up on possible CULTS/Hyperwallet issue since no one will is straight with us

I have deep into this Cults3d/Hyperwallet issue since we are all getting stonewalled and fed BS. I spent hours running this through CHATGPT to look at what is know on both sides and compare to current Banking rules and possible or likely scenarios. AI basically answered what I thought was most likely since no one is even willing to tell us the truth.

Remember this is what AI could find on the web and is a likely cause not an accusation of guilt. Heres the end report result

Yeah — after digging into this more, I think you’re probably looking in the right direction, but I’d narrow it slightly.

I don’t think there’s evidence of a general “Hyperwallet is broken in America” event. In fact, sellers in the Cults thread are reporting that CGTrader → Hyperwallet payouts are going through during the exact same period that Cults → Hyperwallet payouts are stuck. That’s a really important clue.

Cults themselves have also now said two fairly specific things: the problem is affecting USD payouts, and they believe the blockage is somewhere between PayPal’s bank and the Hyperwallet account.

That makes me think this is more likely a problem with the Cults USD funding channel into Hyperwallet, rather than a problem with your personal Hyperwallet account or your U.S. bank.

And I found something that makes your fraud/compliance theory considerably more plausible.

On June 22, 2026, new Nacha rules effectively expanded fraud monitoring requirements across the entire U.S. ACH system. The new rules require essentially all ACH originators, third-party payment processors, originating banks and receiving banks to implement risk-based monitoring for fraudulent or suspicious ACH credits. Nacha specifically mentions things like anomaly detection, velocity checks, behavioral tolerances and pattern recognition.

That went fully into effect roughly five weeks before these Cults payouts started getting stuck around July 28–August 1.

Even more interesting: PayPal's current Hyperwallet service terms were updated around this same period, and they explicitly give PayPal/Hyperwallet the ability to hold an individual payout or an entire group of payouts because of their risk/compliance rules, instructions from a network partner or regulator, or activity outside their risk tolerance. Their terms also explicitly describe PayPal acting as a third-party sender through an originating bank in the U.S. ACH system.

So your idea of some automated fraud/risk mechanism firing isn't far-fetched at all.

But I want to put a big asterisk on it: I have not found evidence proving the new Nacha rules caused the Cults blockage. The timing and mechanics fit, but that's an inference.

What I think is most likely, given everything we have now, is something like this:

Cults has a USD funding arrangement → PayPal/Hyperwallet has an originating/funding bank → something about that Cults USD payment batch/account/funding pattern triggers a compliance, ACH-risk or reconciliation exception → the entire group of payments gets held while PayPal, its bank and Cults figure out which party has to clear it.

That would explain several otherwise strange facts at the same time.

It explains why only USD is being mentioned. It explains why many Cults creators get stuck together, rather than one guy having an identity-verification problem. It explains why CGTrader can still send money through Hyperwallet successfully. And it fits Cults' own description that the money is stuck between PayPal's bank and the Hyperwallet account, rather than Hyperwallet saying everyone's individual destination banks are rejecting payments.

It also explains why nobody on first-line support seems capable of telling you anything. If this has landed in PayPal/bank risk or compliance, the people answering support emails may genuinely see nothing besides “held/pending/escalated.” Risk departments are also notoriously unwilling to tell front-line support exactly what detection rule fired.

There's another reason I don't think this was simply a technical server outage. PayPal's published status history shows Hyperwallet had scheduled maintenance on August 4, but your affected group was already stuck starting around July 28, and the problem continued afterward.

So if I had to put probabilities on it from what we know today:

Broad Hyperwallet outage: unlikely.

Problem with individual sellers' U.S. banks: very unlikely.

Cults software bug: possible.

Cults' USD funding/account relationship with PayPal/Hyperwallet or their originating bank getting flagged/held/reconciled: this is the one I currently think fits best.

And that last scenario would also explain Cults' ridiculous shifting deadlines. If Cults controlled the technical fix themselves, they could say, “We're deploying the fix Wednesday.” Instead you're getting three to five days → middle of the week → Wednesday → hopefully end of week.

That sounds like somebody who is waiting for another company or bank to release something, not somebody fixing their own code.

What really bothers me on Cults' side isn't necessarily that they caused the original hold. They may not have. It's that once they realized this was no longer a 24–48-hour hiccup, they should have sent a clear platform-wide notice to every affected seller explaining that a batch of USD payouts was frozen at the payment-provider level. Instead you've had to pry increasingly vague explanations out of them one email at a time.

And I think your Payoneer decision looks better in light of this. You're not necessarily fleeing Hyperwallet because “Hyperwallet can't send U.S. money.” You're potentially getting off one particular Cults → Hyperwallet USD funding route that's currently causing trouble. Payoneer would put the next payout onto an entirely different processing path.

I’m going to keep an eye on this one, because if the payments suddenly all release together, that would further support the idea that a batch/program-level hold got cleared rather than hundreds of individual accounts suddenly being fixed.

3D Printed Warhammer 40k Signs (Free)

Hello fellow makers,

I'm new here and relatively new to 40k in general (only really played a few of the video games and read a few Horus Heresy novels).

I have recently been doing lots of CAD for work and quite enjoy it, and I started making these Warhammer 40k signs for various legions and chapters as I really like the challenge and the iconography of lots of Warhammer 40k factions.

So I am posting on here for 2 reasons really:

A.) A little bit of self-promotion if we are being cynical, or sharing with others who maybe interested in downloading and using these for themselves.

B.) More important than A, in my opinion, is looking for some feedback about what people like or dislike. Also, what would people like to see in the future.

Thank you all for any feedback. I will leave you with the link to my Cults 3D page; all of my Warhammer 40k signs are free to download and use. If you want to follow me on Cults, it would be greatly appreciated.

Digital 3D model of Technic Excavator (Free CAD files on GitHub)

For a CAD group project at university, my team and I put together a full 3D model of the Technic Excavator set.

We figured we'd share the files with the community in case anyone finds them useful for renders, animations, or digital builds:

https://github.com/Himalia13/42006-Lego-Model

Hope you like it! Let us know if you end up doing anything cool with the model.

Pago por venta de modelos 3d

Ya son mas de 7 dias desde que solicite el pago de la venta de mis modelos 3D, en la pagina Cults, pasaron sus 3 dias habiles y aun no me transfieren el dinero a mi cuenta.

Ya tube un problema similar el 3 de Julio cuando Cults debio cancelarme un monto de 98.45 dolares y solo me llego 3.45 dolares. Escribi a soporte tecnico de Cults, pero se negaron a darme solucion, simplemente defendieron a HYPERWALLET, y no asi a su usuario.

Mande muchos correos electronicos denunciando este robo, pero no recibi ninguna solucion, muy mal por parte de CULTS/ HYPERWALLET/ BANCO INTERMEDIARIO.

Y ahora hasta el dia de hoy no recibo el pago de mis ventas, siendo asi que ellos cobran una jugosa comision

Questions

To the ones who are 3d printing NSFW models are y'all hand painting them or just printing in color. I ask because I want to print in color but some models have a vast amount of colors and I don't think I could find the colors to exactly match the models for example. A skin tone. Some examples would be like mia Khalifa's skin tone or Lady Dimitrescu

PROBLEM with my REQUEST PAYOUT

Hello I requested a payout on August 2nd, but it has been stuck on 'pending' ever since and hasn't moved to Hyperwallet.

All my previous payout requests usually move very quickly, so I'm a bit worried as this has never happened to me before. I tried reaching out to Cults3D support, but haven't received a response yet. Is this delay normal, or has anyone else experienced something similar recently?

Thank you in advance for your help!
