Just a small rant but I hate that sites allow you to upload a STL without a picture of an actual printed model. It is dumb that you can make an image of it in photoshop or whatever software which you can tell is fake. I think you should have to print and take a picture. I think it would also help stop the AI posters that don’t flag their models as AI. Least makes it take longer for them to post.

Thanks for reading my Ted talk.

    Just an optional search filter to exclude models without photos would be nice. No need to completely ban designs that have never been printed.

    On the other hand, in an ideal world I would expect the number of likes to reflect the overall quality of the entry, which of course includes aspects like photos and a nice description (which is important, too), so you just need to sort by likes. I’m not sure — are there many designs out there without photos, either own or from makes, but with lots of likes? If so, why?
