Hey everyone, I wanted to share some news regarding SteinWipe and my ongoing efforts to protect the work we’ve built as a community.
After seeing yet another case of someone taking SteinWipe and passing it off as their own, and yet another case where MakerWorld rejected my infringement claims even after I provided proof of who this individual was: 
I’ve decided to take a strategic step—I’ve officially listed the SteinWipe Basic model files on MakerWorld. However, I am NOT sharing the motion control code, because at the end of the day, that’s what makes SteinWipe truly special. The G-code remains exclusive to our community here and will see continued development and improvements based on your feedback.
So why am I doing this?
✔️ Discouraging unauthorized reposts – By having an official listing, it becomes much harder for others to claim it as their own.
✔️ Establishing an official presence – This puts SteinWipe in front of a wider audience on my terms rather than letting others control the narrative.
✔️ Exclusive Model Program – If 100 people download and print SteinWipe from MakerWorld, I’ll be eligible to submit it for their Exclusive Model Program, further securing the design and keeping it linked to this community as the original creator.
It’s been an emotional rollercoaster watching people take and repost my work, and this time even share a direct copy of my code; every time it happens, it makes me more committed to protecting this community and the projects we create together. This isn’t just about protecting my work—it’s about ensuring SteinWipe remains an innovation tied to Leckiestein, developed and supported the right way.
Thank you all for continuing to support and defend these projects! Your voices have been invaluable in making sure SteinWipe gets the recognition it deserves. If you’re printing SteinWipe and want to help solidify its place in MakerWorld, consider grabbing the model there, so we can hit that 100-print milestone! 🙌
Let me know what you think of this approach—your feedback always helps shape the next steps.
🔥 Stay awesome,
Leckiestein

2025-02-02 19:34:24 +0000 UTCWhich unfortunately since my printer is offline I doubt it counts
rion.exe
2025-02-02 16:07:53 +0000 UTCIt counts if done from Bambu studio or orca slicer, as the printer reports the print in once completed

2025-02-02 00:08:46 +0000 UTCWhat it says is "To participate in this program, the cumulative prints of models under your account must reach 100. Upload more high-quality models to meet this requirement. Only original models are eligible for participation." - So Im thinking its not downloads and it would have to be prints from the Handy app.

2025-02-01 23:51:13 +0000 UTCDownloading it now and will post pictures of my print after I boost it.
Devin Yova
2025-02-01 23:12:29 +0000 UTCDo you need just 100 downloads or like 100 prints from the app directly?
