I used to upload most designs to Printables first, and then import them over to MakerWorld, but for some reason I stopped doing that a while back. I went to upload a design to Printables today, and the reason for the change came roaring back into my memory. There is a very arbitrary spam filter on Printables, which makes everything a huge pain when it triggers (the red text at the bottom of the image). The description I'm trying to write (starting from scratch for the 2nd time), was about 90% saved as a draft seemingly without an issue, but then after I added the last bit (which is just a generic footer I add to all my designs there), it coughed up a furball and won't let me save it. So I yanked out the bottom quarter of the description - and that didn't work, so I ripped out some more (nope), and now I am well past the point where it had been saving correctly previously, and it still says "spam". I've wasted over an hour with this BS getting nowhere, so finally emailed them to ask what is going on? There is not a curse word in sight (aside from "Bambu" lol). I had a link to MakerWorld for a model which I referenced, which has some parts that are compatible - but even removing that also did not satisfy the spam filter. This was my 2nd attempt to get the description added, and I think I'm gonna cut bait and set it aside for the day. But I will try to do it over tomorrow - one more time. If it fails again, then it was not to be, and will just put it on MakerWorld, where their spam filter is not as unpredictable.
10/10/2025: Well I have no idea what is going on with their crazy spam filter, it choked on the following text:
"Although this model is not remixable due to the license, I will upload some remixable models for the large and smaller insert modules (which install in the base of the case) as a separate design, and will link those here when they are available."
When I removed that section, the draft description saved, but when I put it back it choked with the "spam" warning. At least I know they are not blocking the makerworld links or "bambu", but it's still damn frustrating trying to use the site. I have a suspicion that their "spam" warning may actually be a max character warning which is poorly worded, since the description is rather long, with a lot of images to help with assembling the case. But now that the description passes the "spam" check, I don't feel like testing that out further.
However, once the "spam" hurdle was jumped, I then found that my 3mf profile, which I had to generate from scratch in Orca, seems to not work when I download it from Printables (see pic). The original works just fine though. I've resaved the file several times, rechecked the original, and re-uploaded it, but every time it will not open with the "Loading of model file failed" error. This was after completely re-working the 3mf profile from scratch in Orca (I just imported the geometry only from the original Bambu Studio 3mf). I've spent several hours trying to get this design uploaded, and verifying the profile after downloading, but with zero success. I'm setting this one aside again for a couple days.

10/11/2025: Success! After another round of re-uploading and verifying, I can see that the 3mf profile made it through the process without getting corrupted. You can find it at the link below:
