I started my journey with Makerworld on October 18th this year by uploading my first models – keychains featuring car brand logos. After reaching 100 prints, I became eligible to join the “Exclusive Models” program, which I promptly did. Before joining the program, I reviewed similar projects to ensure my models met the required criteria. Once I was confident they complied with the rules, I set these keychains as exclusive models.
To my surprise, after a month, all my models were removed from the program, and the points I had earned were taken away. As a result, I lost over 1500 points, leaving my balance negative. I immediately reached out to support to clarify the situation, but their response was a generic message stating that my models were “too 2D.”
I was shocked, as I noticed that there are still models in the program that are equally “2D” and have been there for over a year. (Evidence in the form of a screenshot is attached below.)
My advice to you is to avoid joining this program. There will always be some guideline that you are allegedly violating, leading only to frustration and wasted time. Your peace of mind is worth far more than the extra 25% points. It’s simply not worth it.
