Q. What is the difference between a USER and a CONTRIBUTOR?

A USER is someone looking for a part to download so they can print it at home. A CONTRIBUTOR is an engineer that has designed one or more parts and has published them on EasyMake123 for users to download.

Q.What does it cost to download an item?

Each item is priced between $1.50 US and $5.00 US. The price is based on the engineering time required to develop the item. Once you download the item, you are licensed to print multiple copies for your personal use.

Q.Once I have downloaded the file what am I alowed to do with it?

After paying for and downloading the item, you are licensed to print as many of the item as you need. You are not allowed to share , distribute or transmit the file to anyone. You are prohibited from making items from the file and selling or distributing them in any way. You are barred from sharing, distrubiting or transmitting the file to anyone; it is for your personal use only. Please read the Terms and Conditions for a complete understanding of your rights.

Q.What printers will the downloaded file work with?

The file downloaded has the extension 3mf. It is readable by all common 'slicers'. The slicer (like Oraca, Cura ...) can then format the file so it can be used with your printer.

Q.Are 3D printed products food safe?

Not all filiments are certified as food safe. For products that will hold food choose a Food Safe filiment. PLA filament can be food-safe if it is explicitly certified as food-grade, meets regulatory standards, and the 3D printing process is modified to prevent contamination. While PLA is derived from food-safe materials like cornstarch, it is not inherently food-safe because additives, pigments, cross-contamination during manufacturing, and the 3D printing process can introduce non-safe substances. To make a PLA print food-safe, choose a certified filament, use a stainless steel nozzle, seal the surface, and avoid high temperatures

Q.What kinds of items can I publish on EasyMake123?

EasyMake123 is looking for useful items users will want to download. items typically found in hardware stores, auto parts stores and office supply houses. Users will see the benefit from downloading things like knobs, for cabinets, flower fots, pencil holders, car accessories, parts, organizers... The more useful the product the more likely it will be downloaded by users.

Q.How do I proceed?

To start with EasyMake123 just sign up as a contributor.

Q.What does it cost?

Nothing. It does not cost anything to sign up with EasyMake123 and begin publishing your items. There are no fees, just a potential revenue stream for you.

Q.What are my rights?

You must be the sole owner of any files you upload to EasyMake123. You should thoroughly read the Terms and Conditions. You are liable for any issues that arise should the ownership of a file be questioned.

Q.How do I prepare files for upload?

It is important to provide the smallest possible STL file size before uploading. Here is a link that can help you understand ways of reducing the size of the STL file: Tips for minimizing STL file sizes. Remember, EasyMake123 has a maximum STL file size of 5M. Also, the PNG image file needs to be no larget than 200pxx200px ( or less that 50Kb )

Q.What are users allowed to do with my published items?

Users are allowed to use the item (3mf) file to 3D print one or more copies of the item. It is for their personal use only. They are barred from sharing, transmitting or otherwise distributing the file. Further, they are barred from printing items from your 3mf file and selling items.

Q.What if I no longer want my items on EasyMake123?

UAt anytime, you can delete your account on EasyMake ( Account settings->delete Account ). When you delete your account, all your information and any items you published in EasyMake123 are removed from public assess and archived. They are archived in the event any dispute arises over ownership of the items when they were available on EasyMake123.

Q.FreeCAD STL file export produces files that are larger than 5M. What do I do?

This isn't a proble. Firstly, we recommend reviewing Tips for minimizing STL file sizes. . Specifically for FreeCAD we recommend:

• You can control the tessellation settings directly in FreeCAD to export smaller, more manageable STL file
• ● Switch to the Mesh Workbench. In FreeCAD, select the "Mesh" workbench from the top-left dropdown menu.
• ● Create the mesh from your solid. Select the solid body you want to export. Then, go to Meshes → Create mesh from shape.... Adjust the resolution settings. A window will pop up with different meshing options. To reduce the file size, focus on these settings: Maximum deviation: This setting controls the maximum distance a triangle's face can deviate from the original CAD surface. Increasing this value will lower the mesh resolution and create a smaller file
• ● Angular deviation: This setting controls the maximum angle between adjacent triangle faces. Increasing this value also reduces the file size by allowing for a coarser mesh.
• ● For 3D printing, a larger deviation value is often acceptable, and for many functional parts, you won't notice the difference. This allows you to find a balance between visual quality and file size
