Last time I was on Thingiverse browsing, someone had spent the past day uploading hundreds of models of women squatting. Just page after page. I gave up and went somewhere else. Who the fuck thinks we want to see this

I don't not want to see women squatting, but will pass on Ai generated models of that though thanks.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 24 points 4 days ago

Yeah, squatting is great! Fuck landlords!

As someone who has been deep into 3d printing for a long time, even selling prints that I bought licenses for, there are a LOT of people who want exactly that.

AI really shows how broken and non-existant moderation is on these "platforms".

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 days ago

printables has a "no ai" and a "no politics" checkbox. I almost never see AI or political prints with that turned on

[–] LilBobbyTables@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It has nothing to do with AI. Pornographic models for 3d printing have been everywhere in large numbers long before the current AI became a thing.

That and batmans. There is an overlap

Don't forget the flexi-snakes. So many flexi-snakes. Fidget toys still seem pretty popular after all these years too.

[–] LilBobbyTables@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

It’s crazy that the 3d printed flexi snakes and dragons are selling in retail stores with full on retail packaging these days. I sold a few through Instagram a while ago, can’t image how you’d get them to retail

And The Rock.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

The Rock is still a thing too
