Source review

Check the source before selling a print.

Record the creator, license, commercial-use terms, and required attribution. A marketplace listing alone does not prove permission.

Use the evidence checklistOpen Source Check
Evidence checklist

Save consistent evidence across marketplaces.

  • The exact public model or listing URL and page type.
  • The creator or seller name shown on that page.
  • The exact license, commercial-use terms, and required attribution.
  • Any remix chain, original-source link, or customer permission.
  • A dated screenshot, PDF, receipt, or other evidence you can retain.
No remote fetch

Source Check organizes evidence you provide.

Source Check does not open, scrape, download, or verify the remote page. It cannot prove ownership, permission, or compliance with marketplace policy.

Review the live page yourself and keep the evidence that supports the job decision.

Marketplace by marketplace

Apply one evidence standard to every source.

Start with the public page in front of you, then capture the same core facts regardless of where the model was found. Terms and creator programs can change, so review the current page before every job.

MakerWorld, Printables & Thingiverse

Review the specific model page for the named creator, exact license or commercial-use terms, attribution, and any linked original or remix.

Model-page evidence
C

Cults3D

Record the specific model page, purchase evidence when relevant, the named creator, and the exact terms shown for printed sales and attribution.

Model-page evidence
M

MyMiniFactory

Review the specific model page for the named creator, exact license or commercial-use terms, attribution, and any linked creator program.

Model-page evidence
E

Etsy

Check Etsy's current Creativity Standards first. A seller-produced 3D print must be based on the seller's original design; a third-party commercial-use license can document copyright permission but does not by itself satisfy that marketplace requirement.

Original-design evidence required
?

Other / Unknown

Record what the customer provided, then request the original public source, named creator, exact terms, and any permission evidence.

Manual evidence needed
Review the rights, then work on the actual order.

Use the checklist to record what you verified and what is still missing. Revisit the live source when the order or terms change; the checklist does not refresh or verify that evidence for you. Continue with the model and real product photo when you are ready to prepare the listing.
