Thingyverse is owned by Ultimaker, Printables by Prusa and makerworld belongs to bamboo. I don’t really want to donate my models to a for profit company, so are there any similar community run alternatives where I can upload to? Cheers

      You said that they were not a “real” for-profit company, which is just plain wrong. They have even monetised their printables.com platform, if that’s not a for-profit move in the most classical sense I don’t know what is.

        why are you trying to change what I wrote? Its clearly there. I said none of that. You need to check yourself bro

        OMG monetized their platform. Because they are a business. I suspect you have no knowledge of their platform or how they do business or where or the history of their founder.
