La verdad es que es un tipo de uso que no habiamos contemplado. Dame unos dias para comentarlo con mis compañeros. Dentro de un par de semanas si no te he dicho nada, por favor escribenos a hello@lastsword.com y te dare una respuesta en firme :)

Hola, ante todo muchas gracias por vuestro trabajo, es magnífico. Me gustaría saber si estaría permitido el uso de los modelos 3d (modificados para bajarle el número de polígonos) y texturizados en un videojuego (no comercial y siempre dando el suficiente crédito a los dueños y artistas de los modelos, osea vosotros). No me queda claro si en caso de publicar el videojuego de forma online se incumple la cláusula 1.5. En el caso de un videojuego me parece casi imposible acceder a los modelos 3d (que estarían simplificados y por tanto no aptos para impresión). La idea sería hacer un videojuego de Estrategia por turnos (tactics) similar a un tabletop. Sería un proyecto de hobby sin ánimo de lucro e, insisto, siempre dando crédito y publicidad a vosotros. Espero vuestra respuesta, un saludo!

In this case the Spanish legislation, which is the one that regulates us, is clear and is considered for all purposes sale of digital products. Assuming all the implications and guarantees that this entails. The physical Kickstarter are pre-sales of products. In both cases taxes are sacred ;) In any case thanks for the warning

the use of the word *purchasing* might not be the correct wording you are going for with a document such as this. Purchasing means I am buying these files from you which I am technically not buying them. I, as a patron am giving you money to allow you as an artist or an art group to continue producing art. As an artist you are making the product of your art available to your patrons. This is not a purchasing transaction(which could be subject to taxes and the like). You could most likely just switch the word purchase to download and that would work fine. This would also cover you from IP conflicts if a company feels like they have a solid case that you are infringing on their IP by "selling" products that are too similar to their own such as Aztech themed lizard men. But if you are "freely" giving your art to your patrons that would not be something they could contest(I am not a lawyer but it makes sense)

Espero que despues de tantas reglas, vengan todos los ficheros sin problemas de manifold... porque eso es imperdonable :(

Exactly. Lots of ways to word this to clarify

Overread

Just a thought about 1.4 - perhaps instead of making it its own separate rule, which sounds like you are forbidding people from digital "kit bashing/modification" of the files for personal use. Instead you could add to each of the other 1 rules a clause that includes "modified or derived works". Eg 1.2 becomes something like: 1.2) You may not license, sell, rent, or commercially exploit in any way the original STL files or derivatives/modifications there of; nor prints from the STL files or derivatives/modifications there of. Of course seek proper legal counsil for proper working, this is just an example that might communicate clearler to patreon backers what the TC are.

We cannot be responsible for something that has so many variables and in which the file is the least important of all. It is more likely that any damage has to do with a mechanical failure, or poor maintenance of the fed and the tank than any other cause. And that's without going into variables like resin, which is a world in itself. Or the wear of the screen and the light, which sooner or later happens to all printers. In fact it was decided last month, that since some of you use programs that we cannot test, the supports will only be included in chitubox. And we have chosen Chitubox because it works very well and it is free in all its functions. If you run the file in programs like mexmisher, or open them in other printing programs, it usually works fine. But you can alter the geometry and strange things can happen to the file. And we can't test them in all of them. As we can't control what you do, we can only recommend you to use chituitubox, and in case you have problems we will try to help you to find them. All those who have asked us so far can be summarized in two general cases. Lack of fed or screen cleaning and lack of exposure. We have been there for almost a year now. We know that the files we supply to you work as they are. We test them on average 4 or 5 times before we give them to you. And we can test them because they are the ones we will offer for sale in Print on Demand. It's in our workflow. We have also gone to the trouble of having elegoo, anycubic and soon creality printers, when it would be easier for us to use the same on the farm. I don't think anyone else is going to that kind of trouble regardless of size. And of course all the patreons that have the conditions drafted are similar to these. Actually the only reason why it has been included is because of a recommendation from our account manager in order to protect the intellectual property in the future. It is nothing that with normal use will affect any of you.

So according to what was writen, you take no responsibility for anything like at all? I put salamanders into lychee slicer and it say the models were not manifold. And the print did failed. Disapointing. Guess they are not your problem now.

Matthew Walker

ok

For personal use we will never get into what you do, if you convert or not. These are guidelines to protect the ip and not to make derivatives of the product for commercial purposes. Whatever you do for you, for our part will always be well done.

Would mirroring to create extra variety in units fall under 1.4?
