What is the real story with Thingiverse? I have heard some people don’t like putting their work there as the fine print somehow allows makerbot to own the usage rights or something like that? I am making this Cablebot design and want to share it and the parts to make one (once I get it going lol). However TinkerCAD which the parts are made in does not suit complex designs that have a large number of parts. What should I do?
There are alternatives to thingiverse that are run by more reputable companies. Ultimaker’s Youmagine.com is a relatively new entry, but Ultimaker is among the oldest and most trusted members of the community, and their site is currently my favorite replacement for thingiverse. Of course, you may want to consider hosting on github also/instead.
Try Youmagine.com. It’s run by the Ultimaker folk who are pretty keen on open source and not being corporate assholes. It’s where I’m putting the Ingentis source files. Failing that, there’s always Github.
Thanks guys, I’ve just had a look at youmagine it looks great. I think that may well become the home of the CableBot 
And that’s why g+ needs an alert to tell you someone else has posted a comment on a post, while you are writing one :).
Makerbot’s license states that you basically give them rights to profit from your design, like it or not. They’ve actually taken designs from people and began selling them in their own brick and mortar stores. They’ve taken the idea of the stepper driven extruder and claimed that they invented it. They’ve leeched off of the back of the open community, and then shunned the very same community after they got their start.
What about http://cubehero.com ?
@Mohamed_Thalib_H : https://cubehero.com/info/licensing – They claim no rights over your material.
Then I would prefer http://cubehero.com, since it integrates git
Also YouMagine.com ; both of which are linked directly from this community. We (the mods) are trying to promote those two sites and kind of help nudge people away from thingiverse.
