He now "understands" that Makerbot did not enforce his license because of the pending sale.<br /><br /><br />RogerRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691441101192096395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044435882628584601.post-16498631255144740372013-07-03T09:18:28.098-06:002013-07-03T09:18:28.098-06:00Damn you sound like a punk.
Not only did you get ...Damn you sound like a punk.<br /><br />Not only did you get sonned like it was High Noon but you didn't have the decency to APOLOGIZE?!!?!!?!??<br /><br />You have about as much respect for him as Makerbot and Stratasys.

There are many who are bothered, but I'm all in support of you. My negative tone was more about the general reality of creative types not being free to just be creative. But nothing against the choice you made. I'm in support.3dpprofessorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302309534971264219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044435882628584601.post-7669271594780713442013-06-23T05:24:21.025-06:002013-06-23T05:24:21.025-06:00Joe, you are wrong.
First off i do not offer the ...Joe, you are wrong.<br /><br />First off i do not offer the designs i removed from thingiverse for sale on my shop at 3dizingof.com<br />But IF i DO choose to offer them for sale its because they are MINE and i am the IP holder. Make no mistake about it.<br /><br /><br />Now.. when i started removing my things from thingiverse.com it took ages for one single page to be deleted - as the server goes thru thousands if not 10's of thousands of user's private collections.. - so i chose to just remove the STL files for each design page (which took only seconds). <br /><br />I leave it to Stratasys staff to remove all the other pages entirely. <br /><br />As for the "mad traffic".. You are as gobbled with the hype as anyone else.. (3d printing industry is good at it) <br />I was receiving an average of 40.. yes 40.. unique visitors a day from thingiverse.com.. but that had absolutely no effect on my passion to design and share thru-out the past years..<br /><br />Here is a screen shot from Jan 2013 till today:<br />http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j322/dizingof/Album3/dizingofstats_zps5cefb4a8.jpg<br />(the counter code can only be placed on the main profile page at my Ponoko.com shop)<br /><br />I understand you are upset and resentful.. but not as much i am at these corporations violating my IP rights time and again then apologizing while emphasizing it was "unintentionally" (clearly their lawyers words to avoid a copyright law suit with "willful intent")<br />http://www.thingiverse.com/make:40039<br />http://www.thingiverse.com/make:39714<br /><br />http://publicknowledge.org/node/7623<br /><br /><br /><br />These corporations including Makerbot and lets not play naive here - are in it for the MONEY.. <br /><br />Makerbot was in the process of been acquired by Stratasys at the time of these events.. Makerbot's staff couldn't have really offered me any help, a legal advise or otherwise, when a $400 million dollars were on the table.. <br /><br />Hours later, after i've removed my files, an announcement was made: Stratasys acquired Makerbot (and Thingiverse..) <br /><br /><br /><br />Joe, i've enjoyed sharing my designs in the past 3 years and even excited when my designs were loved by so many makers all over the world. (a truly amazing phenomena) but there was never any personal gain or "fame" here for me.<br />(except for one time when my doorman approached me all excited when he realized i am THE Dizingof lol - other than that i am a private man and that wont change)<br /><br />In an interview i had with i.materialise.com in Dec 19 2012 - i was asked why i share so many designs on thingiverse.. i replied: "I have seen the available free designs and in my humble opinion the personal 3D printing revolution needed more than a Yoda" -<br />http://i.materialise.com/blog/entry/meet-the-designer-dizingof<br /><br />That's about says it all.<br /><br /><br /> <br />Few days ago Stratasys Executive VP for Business Development & Strategic Marketing - Dan Yalon - sent me an email offering me an apology and a $1000 worth of 3d printed parts - I suggest Stratasys DONATE the sum to "Yad Sarah", a local charity - to which he replied "Re Yad Sarah – absolutely. Happy to do this" <br /><br />Read his emails on this Google group discussion:<br />https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/makerbot/nYuQWBy2lWo<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dizingof<br />Dizingofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736675508519234536noreply@blogger.com
