Re: STL File Sharing

 

Hello Bob,
?
I know the problems and needs of a professional photographer from the inside. People "borrowing" pictures I made, even using them without permission for CD booklets and posters. Thank god that I, being member of a big journalist's union, have lawyer's assistance regarding such cases. In Germany, copyright laws are strict and I suggest not to steal other people's intellectual property. With stl files it's exactly the same. If I use them with the creator's kind permission for myself, it's something completely different from selling them pretending it's my own invention. And I would never do this. A Golden Rule in Germany says "Whatever you don't want someone to do to you, don't do it to anyone else". All my life I tried to obey this.

Greetings from Middle Franconia, Hans

I for one, do get it!? My entire life I spent working hard to create work for myself and my clients.? I didn't want anybody using my work or my clients property without proper permission.? Of course I've also had the exact opposite happen more than it should have.? It's one thing to use a file with permission, but once it ends up in the universe--it's there forever!? So it makes your file/work worthless or even less.?

My parents asked me why I did photos for the local paper and wanted to be paid and then paid again and again!? I once made the cover photo for USA Weekend magazine, so all the hometown folks were impressed with millions of copies.? But when Fox wanted to use it I demanded to get paid again!? My lawyer said, 'it's just business!? I pay models, the pay for locations fairly often, I pay to use cars, and yes, the UP wanted major dollars to use their freight yard once, (but that didn't happen). ?

The stories I could tell you!?

Value is what somebody is will to pay for something!? There is always a footpath to walk away with!

I don't get it. I put files on Thingiverse. STL's are resizable. I usually put "S Scale" in the title or description so S Scalers can find it. If some O Scaler wants to scale it up and use it, fine.
?
As an example, I created a drawing for a fuel tank for the AM GP-35. You can search Thingiverse for "GP-35 Fuel Tank" and it shows up. In case you are not familiar with Thingiverse: When the main image shows up, you can click on a 3D button, and then rotate the view to see the part from any angle. I don't think Peter is going to replicate that. If some O scaler or (God forbid) some HO scaler wants a GP-35 tank drawing, he or she is not going to find it on the NASG website.
?
Realize, too, that lots of models have multiple stl's. My "S Scale passenger car detail parts" has 15 stl files (so far), photos of completed assemblies using them, etc. That would be a big job to replicate.
?
I would think at the most, Peter could create an index to files that were stored in repositories. Then it is totally up to the author to mange the access.

Re: 3D Household Furniture

 

Dale:

I have never done any 3D printing and have not worked with STL. I am, however, a competent 3D designer in Autocad, having worked with it for 35 years. I have perhaps a dozen Autocad (DWG) files of various furniture. I have attached an example -- a side chair. The DWG file is made up of the necessary solids to fully represent the chair in 3D. The attached file shows two isometric views of the solid.

It is my understanding from a quick Google search that converting DWG to STL is widely available -- that makes sense, since Autocad is widely used for designing.

Feel free to experiment with this -- if successful, let me know and I'll search out my furniture files. I hereby license the DWG as CC-BY-NC.

The one I think is the easiest and closest conversion is the Diesel fifty with LaPlant-Choate blade.

A modeler could use the kit to convert the dozer to either an older cable-pull blade or just change out the engine and keep the LaPlant-Choate hydraulic blade.? So, you have a kit that works in O and S scales.??

Re: GP35 Coupler Pocket & filler

 

Another opinion:

If you yourself are intending to use your STL files commercially -- or license their commercial use -- then you should not freely license them. But if not, then why not offer them with a CC-NC license ().
Others could then make use of them, which is certainly a good thing for the hobby which does no harm to your pocketbook and some good to your ego. Any potential commercial user would have to be very stupid to use them without a license from you as the product would soon turn up in the NASG Product Gallery and you would be able to collect royalties.

If he/she wants to make it available in the public domain, I'd be happy to do so (and provide a good way to list and access them), but I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER store any .stl files on the NASG web site that are not in the public domain.

*Everything* that is sent to me for, possible, inclusion on the NASG web site is "vetted" by me for copyright ownership. This includes files, documents, images, etc. (manufacturers' photos and images are excluded, as they get free "advertising" via a link to their site and News announcements in return for my using their photos and images on our web site).

We currently have zero .stl files stored on the NASG web site or its server.

I will not share my STL files, especially in an unregulated form, because there will be unscrupulous copying without compensation for my intellectual property.
