Who makes the best STL’s? | Groundeffected.com

how you buy stl with color in online order?

Fair play to you Sir for defending artists who actually provide their hard work in making these wonderful models available to others!
I've seen a couple of websites where I've seen the 'same' model only to see that it is a fraction of the proper price. As you state, no artist name, no sale! You cannot live off $5 that obviously took the artist many many hours to make.
Great channel as always. - Alan

great video... wealth of information.

One thing I have been very curious about is people on Thingiverse, Etsy and Cults3D selling models that are clearly using other franchise/brand IP. I see tons of creators making 3D STL designs for people with printers that incorporate Pokemon, Disney, LoTR and more. How are they able to sell those without dealing with legal action? I have heard tons of stories of people selling printed assets and getting their accounts taken down but nothing with people making the designs? I reached out to a handful and get a similar response "its working for me" or "it is considered fan art".
Is fan art a grey area or somehow a loop hole in selling online assets with brand IP?

Do you sell your statues ?

Anyone know of an artist that does hard surface stuff like spaceships and vehicles?

10000% agree with the Patreon problem. I have no problem paying a sub to someone who makes awesome models that I like, but the platform makes it nearly impossible to tell what they make, or what the quality is.

I like the idea of paying for file again if you sell a painted print

I wish more of these patreon funded sources just had a proper non-patreon store front to buy stuff

Thank you for your tutorial on the hulk I wish I could post a picture you are a guru sir,

How do these people charge money to sell models of other people's IP? They aren't licensing, they are just stealing other's IP.

Thanks for the info!

I love your intros.. ..and you always share great tips! Cheers sir!

Absolutely loved how passionate you got at the end about artist being ripped off. I have never experienced it, but 100% agree. I only use wicked marvel version and only subscribe to them, I can't really afford to do sub to you or I would. I believe the monthly sub for wicked is still robbing them blind for what u get, if I could afford more I would. The work they produce is so detailed, it's incredible.

I would like to try these but don't have a resin printer. How do these fair with a printer like an ender 3 neo

It wasn't until you told people to f@## off that I subbed xD

Good video, I might me inclined to pay for someones Patron membership provided I knew what was being offered. I thing they should show their collection in order to get people sign up.

How could I get an Achilles 3D statue made ? Hopefully in a 1/10 scale ?

I think Sanix might be the worst kept secret in 3D printing lol He was one of the very first large suppliers of Marvel DC prints back in 2019 so he's been at it for a while now and most people know his stuff pretty well. I LOVE berserk and wicked. They have updated their patreon to work like Sanix with the extras at 6 and 12 months. Some great recommendations in this list. Thanks so much!

I have a love-hate relationship with patreon do I think it’s the best way for creators to get paid for their work yes if I have the same interest base as you do I’m probably gonna wanna print a lot of your stuff that monthly payment is a good value for you and me you get paid monthly you know you’re getting this amount in monthly I know I’m getting a certain amount of models that I am most likely to want to print what I don’t like is trying to find creators that I want to back because I can’t see more than maybe one or two things that they’ve created everything else is hidden. so I may know that I like one thing you’ve created and I am supposed to decide whether or not I wanna pay $10 a month based off of that one thing I can see or I’m expected to go find you on any number of other social media profiles to see your other work there and then jump back to Patreon if that point I ultimately want to back you if I’m just looking for models to print that’s a lot of effort to go into I just want to back someone who makes Disney models or Marvel models or Harry Potter models or insert other interest here

Where do you get the lady with the red hair and the white tank top, standing in front of you, from? Really nice content you make, you got a new subscriber!

This was Very helpful. i really appreciate you sharing this information. i know most ppl don't

Bro. I'm Subscribing

Hi, can you recommend a nice printer for someone who wants to print their own action figures? Im a total newbie with 3d printing though I can sculpt in zbrush and use traditional sculpting with wax.

well now I am too that one more subscriber well done , glad i found you

I agree about the selling of models behind artists backs, but I will say that some Patreon Artists have commercial licenses built-in to their Patreon tiers. Great video BTW.

I am having trouble finding dinosaur/monster STL's - ran into anyone or have any recommendations?

Dpaula3d's patreon is down fyi

thank you, and subscrived

Awesome work your doing! Love your videos, great info and how to's!! Top notch!!! Got a new subscriber😁👍

I’m a noob to 3d printing, your video popped up… and subscribed right away.. your content and humor is 💯

So glad I found your channel! You have a new subscriber, man!

I would add another excellent artists: Megha of VX Labs. He does mainly ladies (Wanda, Black Widow, The Wasp, Wonder Woman and a number of others). The only dude on his list is Vision (comes with Wanda and a beautiful stand for the two). His attention to details is incredible, he's so good at getting the looks spot on that you actually recognise the actress immediately. And he always throws in a NSFW version for the pervs out there 🤣

Me! Send msg on cults for 1 free stl! Link in comments

i see Dpaula 3D is leaving and not sure she will be back. Sad

Thanks for appreciation !

Hey Groundeffected, I've been binging your videos a bit this morning. Have you ever done a video about painting statues in more statue-like appearance? Like bronze, stone, etc. as opposed to the hyper realistic?

Nice callout about Patreon. It's really annoying when you don't see what you're getting and you have to pay to see that. Unless I have seen the models elsewhere (FB groups, etc.) I will generally pass.

Aren't many of these studios breaking copyright law by copying the designs from games, movies, comics etc? Or am I missing something? I'm not taking anything away from the artists works. Most of the work they produce is mind blowing.

Solid tips man and thanks for standing up for the artists who get stuff stolen! People don't realize how crazy it gets.

I couldn’t agree more with you, you are so right about everything you said 💪🏻👏🏼👏🏼

Interesting review, thanks for your feedback!😉

Nice! You featured some of my good friends. Their work is awesome :)

Love to you and your work dude! <3

Sanix models are awesome. My favorite patreon

Thanks for this video! Now if only i could get my hands on a printer....

Was already a member of a lot of these but now I added Dpaula 3D, brilliant sculpts, so they now have 38 patreons.....LOL

Great compilation video! I didn't know about a couple of those, good to know! BTW, where's that gorgeous MJ from??
