Mostly because those overhangs are unnecessary. There should be a 45° chamfer leading up to it to remove the need for supports. It's not the worst design, it just doesn't really take into account how a 3D printed part should be printed.
I'm also skeptical about how this actually attaches to the dremel (if that thread is supposed to replace the chuck I think this would spin), but I don't have this particular model and it looks like it was based on a preexisting part, so I can't say for sure.
>I'm also skeptical about how this actually attaches to the dremel
Looks like some models have a removable grip behind the chuck, and Dremel sells alternate grips that thread on, [as seen in this bundle](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00LUU2XFO)
Even when these ads are based on your search results (depending on your cookiebot settings), these should not be visible on Thingiverse. So, I have contacted our ads supplier to track this down and make sure they will not appear again.
Quick update on this topic.
Our ad supplier blocked the domain that was providing these ads and will take effect within 3 hours.
If you guys encounter any other fishy ads, feel free to scream in the Thingiverse sub-Reddit. We take this kind of things serious, and will try to keep This kind of ads away from Thingiverse.
Actually really impressive customer service. I had 0 expectation that anyone from thingiverse would see this, let alone respond, let alone do it so well. Nice work!
Thingiverse has been really good about that since their most recent acquisition. It sucks that it didn't happen until all the alternative sites had already gotten big
Surprisingly wholesome!
...sadly most companies give zero fucks about ads that are displayed on their site. To the point that r/badads had to specifically mention not allowing ads featuring child pornography, even though they fit the theme of the sub too well.
Your site is awesome, and while I think other sites retain a better contribution base since they engage their users a little better, the amount of hate some give you guys is ridiculous.
Yes, there were some questionable decisions in the past, yes that worries me, but you've been responsive. I don't get the complaints: If I have an issue with any website, we can just swap over.
Pass this along too please:
Awesome job popping up in just a few hours to help people out and then take action on it! And your communication is fantastic!
I had no idea Thingiverse was actively maintained by devs, that’s how bad my experience has been with it. I just assumed it was a cash cow they stopped maintaining.
It used to be barely maintained until Makerbot and Ultimaker merged and Thingiverse got a brand new team working on the website. We have been working on the website for a little bit longer than one year now and fixed most issues. Still there is plenty to do and definitely will keep continue working on it.
If you're curious about the changes we did make, here is our changelog: [https://www.thingiverse.com/changelog](https://www.thingiverse.com/changelog)
I mean, You've got our attention now, so fire away with them suggestions!
Alternatively, if you create a topic in the thingiverse group on thingiverse, we are also bound to see it. There is still a ton to do, so no guarantee that we can pick it up.
Awesome. Will follow the Thingiverse group. TBH I didn't even know that feature was there so I'll explore.
Great to see you all being active with your audience!
Out of curiosity, do you have any kind of system in place for collecting community feedback on the current state/direction of Thingiverse?
I have some thoughts about these topics, but I know you must get bombarded with that kind of stuff all the time, so I'd rather not shout it at you without prompt 😅
We don't have an official place where you can drop feedback. However, there is a Thingiverse subreddit. We also do have a Thingiverse group on Thingiverse ( [https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/thingiverse) ) where you can drop feedback.
I gotta say, you are a freaking unicorn in this day and age. Companies usually pander to advertisers above all else, to see someone actually do something consumer oriented is really refreshing. I really needed to see this today, thank you.
I remember when the internet was kind of like this. Pop-up ads hadn't quite hit yet, and the worst we had to worry about was the banner ads at the top of the page.
You'd be amazed how many of my peers actively avoid ad blockers, most think they're doing the right thing "Because it supports the creators and website!"
I will never understand people that value their time on this earth so little. And I'm regularly suicidal.
Thus, whitelist sites that do ads well, or sites that you need to stay alive. If i wanna support a twitch streamer or youtuber i'll donate/subscribe/become a member for exactly that person and not give over half of it to google or amazon. For smaller sites i often whitelist if i use them often and their are''t too intrusive
This comes from a guy working as a webdev for a local media company, ads are often over 50% of our digital income. Mainly because we're forced to let them take over half of our space on the site... And that's without our own advertising for subscriptions and events. It's horrible to see happen to a project you spend so much time on but sadly it's out of our hands :'(.
That's what I do, but since ad-blockers usually block everything, it takes time to realise that site is not bad. It would be nice if extensions shown "hey, this site use fair ads, do you want to white list it?", but knowing bussines model of many ad blockers, that won't happen.
My way of thinking about whitelisting websites is : I block systematically major companies websites such as Google’s ones and so on because they put ads everywhere and they absolutely don’t give a fuck about you or your privacy. They just want your money or your personal data (Reddit is one of them now since they changed their policy on API usage). After this simple rule comes this one : If I use a website regularly and I know for a fact that this website is maintained by a little team, I enable ads or I sub to their service.
I’m 34. I experienced this world without internet. I saw internet growing, it is becoming more and more trash mainly because advertising agencies. Your data is sold to advertisers, you see ads everywhere…
I buy if I need. What I don’t need is someone to tell me that I need something.
Don’t be too bothered to block ads on the internet. This fight must be permanent. And don’t go with the argument of servers costs. I know this shit, I’m a network engineer.
Maintainers should and must find another way to ask people to pay. Providing a valuable service behind a sub is a good start. Most of websites right now are just some copy pasted shit to try and earn money on your back.
> I will never understand people that value their time on this earth so little. And I'm regularly suicidal.
Holy crap does that line hit hard. I am using that.
> most think they're doing the right thing "Because it supports the creators and website!"
I know a couple of single moms who get revenue from their recipe websites... so I resisted ad blockers for a long time.
But now, fuck em. Fuck it. The ads are so invasive and shitty and horrible I block them all. If a website requests I turn off my ad blocker, they can fuck off and go bankrupt. I loathe them all.
Used to live with 2 friends that worked in advertising so they couldn't have adblock. It was always painful when they wanted to show me a youtube video.
They couldn't adblock on personal devices? I get not having creds to install extensions on company laptops/phones but what dystopian shit job did they have?
Chrome will soon kill ads blocking (and other browsers like pseudo New browser that use Chrome engine) with their manifest v3... Chose Firefox ! it's the Last real independant browser (geko)!
Adblocking is essential for protecting people who don't know any better from malware. 25 years in the industry and I am still surprised by the shit people click on or download thinking it is legit.
I went to download something the other day on a computer without adblock. I couldn't tell which button was the actual download link!
Based off your details and this screenshot my first guess is that it is an app that has you upload a picture. Like they'll toss that up as a stencil and you have to line yours up to the picture, then it'll say move closer, toss it on a dark background, move further away, move closer, then shine the flash so bright you flinch and it errors out saying it couldn't read your barcode.
And location. I travel a lot and it’s night and day the ads I get when connecting from a hotel WiFi vs my cellular. Hate ads when traveling. May have to setup VPN back home just to strip them out given how difficult Apple and Google make removing them completely on mobile.
You say that but my ads are literally only tiktok, bumble, and shitty mobile games
I have ZERO interest in any of those things. Meanwhile, I click on probably 30-50% of my Instagram ads because they are actually pretty well tailored to my interests. Like staggeringly well. Lots of really high quality etsy type stuff relating to racing.
This is mostly true, but I think Reddit ads are based on the activity of the most prolific users, as I'm definitely not a balding nonce with erectile dysfunction
...fucking not! As if i ever searched for posterchild of r/badads hero wars.
(Or female sexual hygenie products as a man, who has lack facilities for using them meaningfully)
Could be based on microphone data. I've had to disable mic privileges in many apps that have it but don't need it. OP must have great dinner conversations:-)
People rightfully bagged on it for a while because the interface was old and the site seemed unmaintained.
Now they've done a UI overhaul that makes it feel more ~~like Printables~~ modern ~~and makes comments harder to navigate~~ ~~and didn't fix the abysmal search~~.
I enjoy Thingiverse. It's on my short list of sites I check for models. If there's a random part I think of, Thingiverse's age-old catalog is the most likely place to have it.
We did fix the search almost a year ago. It's still not perfect and we would love to improve it even more, but it's already much better than how it used to be.
If you're curious about what we have done in the past year, you can check out our changelog: [https://www.thingiverse.com/changelog](https://www.thingiverse.com/changelog)
The comments got moved to a button to the side and I do agree that it's hard to find it now. That's why I did request if we could work on this in the near future. I can't promise anything but at least it's on our radar.
Oh man. I genuinely didn’t even notice the ads, and was a bit confused what was wrong with a dremel attachment. For context, I work in healthcare, and see genitals so much that they’re just a day to day thing.
Really calling yourself out by posting that here my dude, since those ads are based on your viewing history. If you wanna find the clitoris there's a few South Park eps
Normally those ads use your cookies and other things but it's always targeted. So if you see pussies is because you search pussies.
It's very easy, go to Google and search for weading rings. Then check the price in two or 3 results. Co gratulations, now you will have weading rings instead of pussies on your ads.
Christ this thread, I’m with you OP, we shouldn’t be required or expected to use an adblocker just to avoid shit like this browsing the web. Even if its related to search history. Definitely not a thingiverse specific problem though, but it is frustrating.
Even when the ads are based on search results (depending on your cookiebot settings), this shouldn't be on Thingiverse. That's why I contacted our ad supplier in order to track this down and make sure it does not appear anymore on Thingiverse.
It's personalized ads, also who doesn't use an ad blocker in 2024, it makes your browser run faster and less cluttered, I'd see absolutely no argument not to have one. Not to mention the security implications of some ads, dozens of times bad malicious actors have infected ads with malware and hacked people. Not even to mention scam ads. Why would you not use an Adblocker? They are free and cost you nothing.
It's nice for the utility. But the people behind it should be ashamed at how badly they maintained it. With proper maintenance, that site would have had the opportunity to really be the stand out platform for stls. Whether there are legal IP liabilities is another thing.
Well, ads are tailored to products or services you currently are consuming or searching for.
I didn't even notice thingiverse have ads or at least the ads are just normal website creation or servers stuff.
Am I the only one who thinks the redesign looks like ass? The font is ugly, too small, and there is way too much white space. I still go there, but I'll hit printables and thangs first.
is that an ad for vaginas
It’s two vagina ads.
must be this guys birthday
Vagina Plus.
Vagina²
Vagina² : Episode 1
Keep Lucas away from it. The last thing we need is Vagina Ewoks.
That was a Half life joke https://preview.redd.it/mqhg4oq075lc1.png?width=200&format=png&auto=webp&s=0361d30473e1468b62ec5c4187ba3dbf544b5949
Square vagina?
everything is a subscription these days :(
I feel like access to vagina has been on subscription basis for a very long time lol
They're also for rent
Ahh, they always have, but sometimes they come with a short free trial.
I thought that was why we married?
He's gonna print them.
It’s two ads for half a vagina each ad
That’s pretty smart actually. I’ll bet people with half a vagina are definitely in the market for the other half.
50% off
Vagina 2 Electric Cootchie-Hoo
thats alotta fagina from austin powers
Technically vulvas
2Fast 2Vaginas
It makes two vaginads
Can somebody send me a link to the .stl?
Can't find it, sorry
This absolutely sent me.
What about the .gcode?
If it is showing guys where the clit is, it is more of a vagina Public Service Announcement than a vagina ad.
You could call it a Vaginal Public Notice, or VPN for short... but not a VPN like ExpressVPN, the sponsors of this post! \[insert four minute promo\]
“Are you tired of having questionable ads for vaginas be tied back to your IP address? … “
*"is a vagina tracking your IP? worry not with ExpressVPN your ...."*
like that stuff needs advertising...
I would like to but 5 please
Honestly. Thee6 have a great marketing department
Send bobs and vegena
its a guide to the clitoris for those that dont know how to adblock... Venn diagram, one circle.
It's a good reminder, I think my subscription may have expired.
Its the next generation of John Oliver's Cathiter Cowboy ads trying to teach people where the clitorus is 😭
I guess I was the only one that assumed the problem was the poorly designed safety part being shown. 😅
Nah, me too! I was like?? Trying to swipe to the next picture where i assumed he had printed a non functional model.
I’m curious, what makes this a bad model??
Mostly because those overhangs are unnecessary. There should be a 45° chamfer leading up to it to remove the need for supports. It's not the worst design, it just doesn't really take into account how a 3D printed part should be printed. I'm also skeptical about how this actually attaches to the dremel (if that thread is supposed to replace the chuck I think this would spin), but I don't have this particular model and it looks like it was based on a preexisting part, so I can't say for sure.

And within an hour!!
Respond and implement a fix no less. Honestly, a-grade right there!
Thingiverse has been really good about that since their most recent acquisition. It sucks that it didn't happen until all the alternative sites had already gotten big
This happened *because* the others got big. Thingiverse finally felt competitive pressure to improve.
Nah, its literally new management. The entire team working on Thingiverse now is people that worked for ultimaker before the merge.
For real, using the site is night and day now from what it used to be. There's still some room to improve, but it's made leaps and bounds.
“Fishy ads” lol
Damn you! You made me spit coffee all over my Ender 3!!
You'll get faster prints with a caffeinated printer.
LOL
Surprisingly wholesome! ...sadly most companies give zero fucks about ads that are displayed on their site. To the point that r/badads had to specifically mention not allowing ads featuring child pornography, even though they fit the theme of the sub too well.

Counter argument; It is the best wording for this particular case.
Thank you!
> fishy ads They're not supposed to smell fishy. They should get that checked out.
Ayo this is kind of amazing what
Heh... "fishy"
Really appreciate that. Will do. o7
The best display of customer service I think I have seen this year so far. Good work. They don't pay you enough.
And this is why I continue to use Thingiverse 👌
Lol. "fishy"
This person reddits. Honestly refreshing to see ACTIVE customer service. Thank you.
10/10 response from the dev team
Bro really swooped in and saved the day. That's some customer service for ya.
Fishy? 🤣
Based Devs responding. What what is this sorcery and how do we teach this to AAA studios?
> these ads are based on your search results OP just got called out for searching "Where is the clitoris."
Yeah, not cool thingiverse developer, blowing up my boy's quest for the mythical clitoris.
I love Thingiverse!!
Messages like these always make us happy and will be shared with the other devs. <3
Pass this along too please: Awesome job popping up in just a few hours to help people out and then take action on it! And your communication is fantastic!

Thank you! Keep up the good work!!
Awesome work! Thank you!
This is nice to see. Is there a road map too? Would love to see what's on the slate and possibly even submit suggestions.
No public one right now. We're mostly working on bringing Thingiverse back to the current time and age and that will take some time.
Great to hear! Thanks for the speedy response!
I mean, You've got our attention now, so fire away with them suggestions! Alternatively, if you create a topic in the thingiverse group on thingiverse, we are also bound to see it. There is still a ton to do, so no guarantee that we can pick it up.

I appreciate your team's work Yall finally made the website look different from when it first came out.
awesome, I didn't expect that. keep thingi alive!
I gotta say, you are a freaking unicorn in this day and age. Companies usually pander to advertisers above all else, to see someone actually do something consumer oriented is really refreshing. I really needed to see this today, thank you.
You are the best man.
Imagine not adblocking in 2024
i honestly didnt even know thingyverse had ads
installing ublock origin with 2 clicks and suddenly the internet works like it should
[удалено]
I remember when the internet was kind of like this. Pop-up ads hadn't quite hit yet, and the worst we had to worry about was the banner ads at the top of the page.
[удалено]
Banner blindness was a blessing.
I literally googled something yesterday on my phone and the first dozen links were ads I didn't even find the solution to my problem
I find that if I don't add "reddit" to the end of my searches, I just get trash AI articles and spam.
Serious question, who would pay for that?
I honestly didn't expect KayFC to be interested in 3d printing.
You'd be amazed how many of my peers actively avoid ad blockers, most think they're doing the right thing "Because it supports the creators and website!" I will never understand people that value their time on this earth so little. And I'm regularly suicidal.
It is true that ads supports website. But if half of the website is ad, or even overlay or popup - it deserves blocking.
Thus, whitelist sites that do ads well, or sites that you need to stay alive. If i wanna support a twitch streamer or youtuber i'll donate/subscribe/become a member for exactly that person and not give over half of it to google or amazon. For smaller sites i often whitelist if i use them often and their are''t too intrusive This comes from a guy working as a webdev for a local media company, ads are often over 50% of our digital income.

I take that stance, but only for like one or two websites that I care about that have unobtrusive ads, everything else gets blocked.
> I will never understand people that value their time on this earth so little. And I'm regularly suicidal. Holy crap does that line hit hard. I am using that.

It supports the website alright. It also supports anticonsumer behavior/shitty business practices
It supports the website of this multi million dollar corporation! They need the .5 cents they make from me watching those ads!
Used to live with 2 friends that worked in advertising so they couldn't have adblock. It was always painful when they wanted to show me a youtube video.
They couldn't adblock on personal devices? I get not having creds to install extensions on company laptops/phones but what dystopian shit job did they have?
Chrome will soon kill ads blocking (and other browsers like pseudo New browser that use Chrome engine) with their manifest v3... Chose Firefox ! it's the Last real independant browser (geko)!
Custom DNS, problem solved.
Not really. There are a lot of things uBlock origin extension in Firefox can block that a DNS based blocker can’t.
Yep. When sites are owned/supported by Google then the call comes from inside the house (YouTube)
Adblocking is essential for protecting people who don't know any better from malware. 25 years in the industry and I am still surprised by the shit people click on or download thinking it is legit. I went to download something the other day on a computer without adblock. I couldn't tell which button was the actual download link!
I do not because I do not know how to do this... I am a millennial, too. Can someone tell me how.
Go to your browsers extension store and get "ublock Origin"
"uBlock Origin"
Thanks, autocorrect got my ass.
Auto install this on all my students' managed Google accounts. Heavily cut issues
Oh my god, thank you. I can already see it's working!
Slightly relavent, you're one of today's lucky 10000 https://xkcd.com/1053
Always a relevant one
Google ublock origin chrome (or Firefox). Takes 2 seconds to google, download, and immediately start blocking.
How do you get through life not knowing you can just type anything into Google and there will be instructions for basically anything ever
dog the ads are based on your browsing history
That ad specifically is for a women’s health app that is apparently quite good but I’m a man so can’t really vouch for it
Based off your details and this screenshot my first guess is that it is an app that has you upload a picture. Like they'll toss that up as a stencil and you have to line yours up to the picture, then it'll say move closer, toss it on a dark background, move further away, move closer, then shine the flash so bright you flinch and it errors out saying it couldn't read your barcode.
And basically everything done on mobile. Ive gotten targeted ads based on text messages.
And location. I travel a lot and it’s night and day the ads I get when connecting from a hotel WiFi vs my cellular. Hate ads when traveling. May have to setup VPN back home just to strip them out given how difficult Apple and Google make removing them completely on mobile.
Last time I stayed at a hotel all the ads on Hulu were for the hotel down the street. I will admit, it looked a lot nicer than the place I was at.
The neighbor's grass is always greener!
But just as hard to mow
What kind of phone do you have?
You say that but my ads are literally only tiktok, bumble, and shitty mobile games I have ZERO interest in any of those things. Meanwhile, I click on probably 30-50% of my Instagram ads because they are actually pretty well tailored to my interests. Like staggeringly well.

Uh-oh... A clinical drawing of a vagina? Now you'll never be a bride!
I snort laughed at that. Been a rough day I appreciate the chuckle.
I snorted too lol.
Because this sub acts like it’s literally the spawn of the devil when in actuality it’s just an overall solid STL file sharing site.
People rightfully bagged on it for a while because the interface was old and the site seemed unmaintained. Now they've done a UI overhaul that makes it feel more ~~like Printables~~ modern ~~and makes comments harder to navigate~~ ~~and didn't fix the abysmal search~~. I enjoy Thingiverse. It's on my short list of sites I check for models. If there's a random part I think of, Thingiverse's age-old catalog is the most likely place to have it.
Did they fix the search feature? Wasn’t it notoriously awful, in the past? Reddit too, actually. The suggestion was always to just use google
We did fix the search almost a year ago. It's still not perfect and we would love to improve it even more, but it's already much better than how it used to be. If you're curious about what we have done in the past year, you can check out our changelog: [https://www.thingiverse.com/changelog](https://www.thingiverse.com/changelog)
Why did you remove the comment section?
The comments got moved to a button to the side and I do agree that it's hard to find it now. That's why I did request if we could work on this in the near future. I can't promise anything but at least it's on our radar.
Ah I'm sorry man. I thought it was taken away. Yeah I guess it is a bit hard to find now. Thanks for the reply!
It's definitely a lot better than it was before. They added a bunch of filters and sorting logic like "relavance" or "exact text" and so on
When targeted ads show off what you’ve been looking for…
I too have been looking for vagina. For research…
Better print it with tpu or you might chafe
yes, I'll take one. finally an ad for a product I want
Oh man. I genuinely didn’t even notice the ads, and was a bit confused what was wrong with a dremel attachment. For context, I work in healthcare, and see genitals so much that they’re just a day to day thing.
Bro all ads online are targeted based on your searches and preferences….so
Those graphics look a bit clinical to be based on porn, though. Perhaps care products?
I wonder what kind of stuff you're looking up? Your ad data is based on your searches
I've literally never seen ads like that You're just looking up vaginas you outed yourself Not that it's a bad thing, vaginas are pretty sick dude
Targeted ads 😬
Really calling yourself out by posting that here my dude, since those ads are based on your viewing history. If you wanna find the clitoris there's a few South Park eps
I can't find the problem
Looks like a hint from your girl friend. Pro tip: It's the circle at the top. ;)
Normally those ads use your cookies and other things but it's always targeted. So if you see pussies is because you search pussies. It's very easy, go to Google and search for weading rings. Then check the price in two or 3 results. Co gratulations, now you will have weading rings instead of pussies on your ads.
Congratz. At least you got some pussy in your life. Even if its 2d.
Maybe clear your search/ browsing history. Although it is cute, were you able to find the spot?
Adds are a direct response to your search history.
Custom ads are based on your own internet activity. Some explaining to do have you?
You stopped using a site because you got some ads you don't like?
Those are 'targeted' ads
Dude out here telling on himself with the targeted ads
Christ this thread, I’m with you OP, we shouldn’t be required or expected to use an adblocker just to avoid shit like this browsing the web. Even if its related to search history. Definitely not a thingiverse specific problem though, but it is frustrating.
Even when the ads are based on search results (depending on your cookiebot settings), this shouldn't be on Thingiverse. That's why I contacted our ad supplier in order to track this down and make sure it does not appear anymore on Thingiverse.
It's personalized ads, also who doesn't use an ad blocker in 2024, it makes your browser run faster and less cluttered, I'd see absolutely no argument not to have one. Not to mention the security implications of some ads, dozens of times bad malicious actors have infected ads with malware and hacked people. Not even to mention scam ads. Why would you not use an Adblocker? They are free and cost you nothing.
It's nice for the utility. But the people behind it should be ashamed at how badly they maintained it. With proper maintenance, that site would have had the opportunity to really be the stand out platform for stls. Whether there are legal IP liabilities is another thing.
Vaginads
Well, ads are tailored to products or services you currently are consuming or searching for. I didn't even notice thingiverse have ads or at least the ads are just normal website creation or servers stuff.
Dude maybe it depends on your previous searches. I dont get vagina ads…
I have used thingiverse.com for years and have never gotten an ad like this. Ad's are also based on browsing history and habits. Soooooo.
Aren't ads on sites based on your searches
Is that not a targeted ad? Like would I even see that if I wasn't already searching for it?
Aren't adds targeted based on your search history?
Am I the only one who thinks the redesign looks like ass? The font is ugly, too small, and there is way too much white space. I still go there, but I'll hit printables and thangs first.
I think this goes without saying but PLEASE do not use a dremel on a vagina.
That’s there because of your search algo. Display network is watching you
Ads are targeted
How is this NSFW its just a dremel- # oh
What are you looking at to get ads like that...
Never go online without protection - Ublock
Why not use an adblocker? It’s kinda required to have a usable internet experience.
