Thingiverse might shrink in size by half if they had a rule that said "If you've never printed this, don't bother posting it."

However I believe that Thingiverse is about anything 3D and not necessarily printable. So such a rule might go against their core purpose.

Well One would think that since Thiniverse is owned / run by makerbot arguably the first major and most influential 3d printing company it would be about 3d printing. But by its own admission it is about all things 3d
and they encourage any jack or jill on the street to upload 3d designs as seen from below quotes from the site.

Make
We need your brilliant designs. Get on a 3D modeling program and/or 3D scanner and start to create, construct, and innovate! Build something cool, useful, or just fun. Then upload the file to Thingiverse and tell us all about it.

How Can I Get Involved?
The best way to get involved with Thingiverse is to try your hand at 3D designing. Thingiverse isn't just of designers, engineers, or CAD drawing experts: anyone can learn.

All that being said There should be an accurate description of the  object like designs concept not tested. OR 3D printable  tested on 1) software @) machines  3)material  or cut on laser cutter or water jet whatever.

I think spam might be more useful than most Thingiverse content.

They need such a rule really. Most of the stuff there is made by people that have no concept of 3D printing or it's limitations.

However I believe that Thingiverse is about anything 3D and not necessarily printable. So such a rule might go against their core purpose.

just went and looked and see what you mean - what a mess... reported 3 different ones myself... on the last one I asked of any one was monitoring this stuff...

Really need a mod or admin to clean it up
