It's one of the worst things I'm going to say, but I'm super scared it's true. I'm afraid that Thingiverse as we know it will disappear.

Who didn't start his 3D printing experiences on Thingiverse? If you purchased a printer for the first time, the first website you visit is Thingiverse. There you will find all models, there you will find users who have created topics about the same printer that you have, and if you encounter problems, you will probably find the answers to the questions you are looking for on Thingiverse.

When I started 3D printing a few years ago, Thingiverse was a fast website, where you could navigate very easily, find many models and search very quickly for something nice to print. That was a few years ago.

As more users came to Thingiverse, the website started to slow down. Sometimes Thingiverse fell away completely for a moment, then came back slower than ever before. Sometimes you cannot log in, sometimes you cannot find or edit your own models that you have uploaded.

Over the years, Thingiverse has not really been updated anymore and although it is clearly still being worked on by the makers, Makerbot, the platform seems to have become too large and too complicated for them, causing more and more problems and the user experience getting worse. Many Thingiverse users have already switched to other online platforms such as MyMiniFactory and others.

My fear is that Thingiverse will soon be unavoidable, and that the platform on which we have all learned to use our 3D printers will soon no longer exist, that the owners will pull the plug.

It's a doom scenario, but I'm getting more and more afraid that this is the future of Thingiverse.

What do you think?
