Thank you for reaching out.
All my models scale up/down and still fit. The only consideration is your nozzle size and slicer settings when reducing any model. The whiskers and small eyes are a good example of the effect of resizing.
Many people have resized him down (I do not know about 50%). Put the small parts in your slicer, slice and look at the results to see if any thin walls disappear, or if the part is too small to print. Everything will still fit, as long as your first layer is good and not fat.
Hope that helps.

Thank you so much your files are amazing I'm really enjoying making these different characters and giving them away as presents any chance you have made a pink Panther?

Thank you for your kind words. It always makes me feel good to hear people enjoying the models.
Pink Panther is on the list, but I hesitate with those long skinny arms/legs and printability. With all the printers improving, I may attempt him soon though. Keep watching and post your makes if you have the time.

Great hearing from you. True Teamwork! I'm happy to hear your sign is getting around.

I'm working on Astroboy flying, and his 'base' will be quite interesting in order to make him fly.

Thank you for reaching out. I do modifications from time to time upon request but do not charge for my time. No guarantee but send me an email at reddadsteve@outlook.com with a description and pictures if possible.

Thank you for reaching out. Here is the standard response I give out for my models:
"Keep in mind that most of the models are based on IP's of large corporations and they are protective of their IP's. Personally I do not mind if you sell them, providing they are not listed on any website or social media boards. Selling them one-on-one for time and materials is fine. It's the advertising angle that needs to be discouraged."

Hope that makes sense.

Steve

And this also looks pretty much as yours. But the first one is sure because it’s your pictures https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/1508974698/whimsical-puppet-stl-files-printable?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=cartoon+stl&ref=sr_gallery-8-37&sts=1&organic_search_click=1. Saw them random.

I guess it’s a never ending story. https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/1440699532/winnie-the-pooh-3d-stl-files-3d-digital?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=cartoon+stl&ref=sr_gallery-9-21&organic_search_click=1

Thank you for being so supportive of my work. For models on the 3d printing download sites I follow up with the site owners, who are typically very responsive. But for etsy/eBay sites I’ve given up trying to stop them (and there are far too many people there that sell my models). The sites themselves do not care and tell you to contact the seller directly. Contacting the seller does nothing since they know that they should not be selling other peoples work. On the other hand, there are a lot of good people out there as well. I get numerous questions about selling my models, which I have a standard answer for.

Teamwork,
Steve

Yeah it’s seems endless since I already found a lot more since the algorithms showed similar results.

Sad world we live in, but at least there are good people like you that make it all worthwhile.
PS. I am killing time at the airport with a 10 hour layover. On my way home from vacation.

I’m on vacation so I do not have a full answer for you. Over the years I have used different shades for skin color. I am currently using a US company, Paramount3d, for my skin colors. They have multiple shades of different skin colors. But in general, use any filament company that has multiple beige tones and pick out a light one.

Let me know what you decide on.

Thank you for reaching out. I sent a message to Cults support to take this down. I looked at the other models from this maker and see that he has done this with other files as well. I'll send a separate message to Cults support about the whole account.

People like you make all the hard work on these models worth it. I appreciate you reaching out.

FYI- I've even found someone on EBAY selling my free STL files!

Teamwork,
Steve

You're welcome Steve. I really appreciate your efforts and willingness to share your designs with the community and even for free.

No one should take credit for other people's hard work and never profit from it.

We must stand together in the fight against copycat's.

Teamwork,
Mia

Thank you, once again. I thought that I'd share some more information.
I checked some other models from that user and found that the user also copied models that are for sale! So I sent another message to Cults. Here is the response I received this morning:

"Thank you very much for your report. It is really important for us.
Based on your testimony, we have removed the creation.

Thanks again for your vigilance, it helps us a lot to filter out thieves and scammers from our community.
If you see any other problems, please do not hesitate to contact us again!"

I've had a close relationship with the Cults owners since they started out and they have always been very responsive. A really nice group of guys.

Teamwork,
Steve

Thank you for the update. Good with quick response. I have reported other users over time who took other people's designs and they are always good at handling it.

Thank you for reaching out. Once question about a word in the translation to English. Translation said 'bike in plain', do you mean bike in one piece'?

My standard response to that question is:
"When I find someone who prints in resin and paints well, I team up with them to convert my 'split' models to one piece. If you'd like to see this model as one piece, and have the time, contact me at reddadsteve@outlook.com."

I would need for you to verify that the small features would still print correctly at that size.

Teamwork,
Steve

Yeah, it's a continuous learning curve with 3D printing. For along time I used many brims on parts that did not need them at all but did it for the 'safety' feeling. Once I learned how to best clean my print bed, it was like having a new printer. At one early point nothing was sticking well and I bought some backup replacement sheets. Luckily I finally understood proper cleaning and am still using the original sheet that I almost threw away.

Steve

Thank you for reaching out and offering suggestions.

Most makers look at other makes that have been posted and read their comments, so a good place for helpful information would be to post your make and add the comments.
Eye blacks are typically a pain due to their size, but a necessary part of most models. I've found that makers have many preferences, such as disliking rafts or brims, and avoid them at all costs. Bed adhesion varies from maker to maker as well, so I simply add how I printed the part. Even I have changed recently now that I have a Prusa MK4 and would no longer need a brim for that part. So, by makers adding their comments/suggestions directly to the models it is quite helpful.

Teamwork,
Steve

Thank you for reaching out with those kind words. Very much appreciated.
If you do make my models, and have the time, be sure to post your makes. Seeing makes posted gives me the incentive to make more models.

Teamwork,
Steve

Thank you for reaching out with those kind words, very much appreciated.
If you have the time, be sure to post your makes on Cults. The more makes I see, the more models I make. As well, seeing makes tells me what makers really like.

Teamwork,
Steve

Thank you for reaching out ( I received your message on Thingiverse as well).
It would be my pleasure for you to use any of my models. All my work is free and can be used freely except for the actual advertising and sales of the models.
Since I do not have TikTok, please let me know how I can see the video when it's complete.

Teamwork,
Steve

Thank you for reaching out. It's always good hearing from makers who enjoy my models.
I do keep a list of maker requests, but since I make one model per month (it actually takes me that long since I'm old and slow), choosing the next model is not easy. I typically choose the model with the most requests. So, yours will go on the list and let's hope other makers request those characters as well.

If you do make my models, be sure to post makes. Seeing makes posted also tells me what makers like.

Steve

Hi, I just want to sell, for example, the finished figure of sonic. I just want to sell the figure and I wanted to know if it can be done
Thanks in advance

No problem selling one-on one if someone asks you to make one or if you sell them at craft fairs. As I said, as long as it is not advertised on a website.

Thank you for reaching out. I choose my characters by the number of requests I get for them. Each model takes me about a month, so I choose wisely. Tails is definitely on my list and your query helps move it up.
Keep watching and posting your makes. Seeing makes posted also tells me what makers like.

Thank you for reaching out. I did not scale it other than to make sure it fit most printer beds. It is posted at 290mm long.
The way I model, it can be scaled up/down and everything will still fit perfectly. The only consideration is scaling down and not slicing some walls properly.

If you want to be more precise with the scale, I suggest that you contact the maker who did it at 1/6th actual scale for his Akira figure:
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-printing/akira-motorcycle-jgohlke

Do not hesitate to reach out if you still need more guidance.
Teamwork,
Steve

Thanks! I did a size comparison to a toy that I believe is 1/6th (good for 12" Marvel characters). I came up with a scale of 1:13.386 The 1:1 might be 153.54" (3899.916mm) long (12.75' seems long). I will probably print off several size seats to see what works/looks best. I may design some wheels for myself with various tread patterns. Thanks again! Gotta fire up my resin printers.

Sounds like you know what you are doing! Great hobby. Do not hesitate to keep me in the loop. I'd love to see your results. I never knew how popular Akira was until someone asked for this model.

As for certain parts (like wheels), I designed it for FDM printing and worked with those limitations.

Teamwork,
Steve

So nice of you to write and let me know. I remember your request and then getting a few more requests for the one piece Bugs but I kept putting him off. So glad you like him. You might want to check out the makes. There is one maker that likes to supersize my models and made a huge Bugs.

Messages like yours keep me motivated to make more models, so thank you for that as well.

FYI Jerry is almost ready.

Teamwork,
Steve

Your English is perfect, but do not hesitate to use you native language. Google translate takes care of multi-lingual society.
I have those characters on my list, but the list is long and I'm 'old and slow' and each model takes me about a month to do. I choose my models based on the number of requests that I get from makers, so your request for futurama bumps them up the list a bit.

Keep watching and posting makes. Seeing makes posted also tells me what makers like.

I met a good woodworker recently (who used exotic woods). He wanted to do a wave in the wood an I generated a file for him to turn. So good when different hobby's and interests cross and help each other.

Great question! He is my QA guy and I mention that in my notes. Always read my notes. All my work is free, so I cover most bases in testing my models but not all. So at the end of each project, before it is released live I send him my files and notes. He then prints and lets me know his experience and I update accordingly.
Hope that helps!
Teamwork,
Steve

Since you do all my models, would you like to get involved in the process?

Sure, thanks for your confidence.

I know that I've got your email address somewhere, but I lose track of things like that. Can you send me an email with what machine you use, what slicer you use and if you set any non-standard parameters.

Thank you for those kind words, but as I say 'teamwork'. We all learn from each others experiences and sharing is the best thing.
