How does that differ from an individual sending the file to shapeways and having it printed for themselves? Shapeways makes a profit on the file, are they not in violation of the licence as well?
No. Shapeways is in intermediate process step for the end goal of that individual attaining the printed version of the file. If the individual then turned around and sold that printed copy for more than they paid shapeways for their printing service, they are the one breaking the terms of the licence.
@E-Boarding I print them at 100% infill. @JuniorPotato93 I’ve gifted a few pulleys of your design for free to some members of the Melbourne group. No commercial gain. I believe @Luke sent a donation to you yesterday. Thanks for the hard work dude!
Yeah giving them away does not break the license and in fact I encourage. If you are financially able and willing to help someone out then by all means go ahead. I know that’s not the case for everyone. But this is another reason why I, the guy who made them and has access to a 3D printer through work, doesn’t sell them either. It would be highly hypocritical and unethical of me to sell something no one else can that’s shared under the CC license, despite my “ownership” of the files.
If they were intended to be sold I would have never shared the files and would have made people pay for it. In my opinion this is very different than sharing the work for free and asking for a donation since you’re not obligated to and I take no offense by those who chose to use the files without donations. For the handful of people who actually did donate, I appreciate the gesture so much more because of it. Thank you @Luke. I enjoy doing this kind of stuff and will continue to once I’m done with my last few months of uni.
You stock and sell the pulleys. You can’t do that.
Shapeways is like the customer renting a printer. You send them the file and they print it, while you just sell the part. It’s the same with 3d hubs, you send the file to the printer and they just print it.
