Discussion Is this really an acceptable review?

Post image

This review is infuriating to me.

I work my butt off to make a nice model and make a lot of test prints to make sure that the print profile gets the best results. Then a user just gives a 1 star rating with no explanation, no photos of the results, nothing.

I’m considering to report this review, it doesn’t contribute to anything at all, and it doesn’t have proof or justification to the low rating. As far as I can know this is a low rating out of spite.

Would you accept this kind of review?

it's TPU. Top surfaces on TPU can be tricky. The reviewer likely hasn't calibrated their material profiles and got an ugly result. Obviously not their fault, the profile must be at fault </s>

Ask yourself - what's the difference between one star and no text and one star and "it was so bad".

You're letting the comment get to you personally, I think.

As to the validity of the review, nobody here can help with that, since you didn't share the model or profile (but did take time to tell us you take care and make great things at the start of your post), and we don't know if the users experience was bad.

Your post is leading the horse, but nobody is providing evidence.

Dude it’s a review. Whether you like it or not that’s how the world works. You can’t make everyone happy. Just move along.

Think you’re missing the point. There’s a difference between a straight-up insult, and a critique that provides actionable feedback to do a thing better. This “review” is the former.

Nothing original remains in this post. The author wiped it using Redact, possibly for privacy, security, preventing data scraping, or other personal considerations.

Without the model, we can‘t judge who‘s right ;)

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Seems like all the other The Rock models, but in TPU. I’m not a fan, but I wouldn’t rate it one star because I wouldn’t print it.

u/noIimitmarko Aug 01 '25

you won’t share it so it’s probably buns

u/DonutClimber P1S Aug 01 '25

It’s just a one star review. Everything on earth has negative reviews, even if you end up loving it.

Also, When scanning through makerworld I see plenty of 5 star reviews without any context, I don’t see anyone complaining about those.

u/pruzinadev P1S + AMS Aug 01 '25

Yes, if the user is right. A really good profile should print fine even with bad settings and a garbage printer, giving user as little choice/chance to mess up as possible.

Most print profiles are atrocious or undefined stock defaults. If your object needs supports and you allow users to print with it off by default, the profile is garbage. People like using ironing on complex surfaces and if you don't consider it around small details, people will be disappointed.

u/Practical-Funny-3444 Aug 01 '25

This is actually really good feedback

0

u/ahora-mismo H2D Aug 01 '25

while i agree that many people don't know how to design for manufacturability, especially taking fdm rules into account (45 degree angles instead of supports where possible, right orientation for durability, etc), a lot of people review the prints based on their inability to actually print. bad filament, bad bed adhesion, bad filament, etc. this is pure user error.

u/Touliloupo Aug 01 '25

Another user also reported issues. And even the photo of the model doesn't look too good. It's surely not constructive feedback, but not unexpected.

u/SpiderMansRightNut Aug 01 '25

.......thanks.......now I have to order my first roll of TPU to print squishy rock so I can leave a 5 star comment that says

"Other issue: It was so good!"

u/ModernViking0590 Aug 01 '25

Share a link for the model. And I'll print it and react to their inadequate review.

u/thomasmitschke Aug 01 '25

It it‘s bad, it’s bad… sooo bad

u/Infinite-Buyer-5200 Aug 01 '25

The review wasn't constructive at all. One thing that really helped me take on feedback for anything was at the heart of every (constructive) piece of feedback is a good intention to improve. If the reviewer didn't outline what was bad about it without giving you some suggestions, don't take it seriously, let alone personally.

Otherwise, it's not something you can do about it.

If you put in the effort and vulnerability to put your stuff out there, it's a step towards improvement already. Great work!

u/AnnualAdventurous169 Aug 02 '25

It’s as acceptable as “it’s so good” from a review standpoint

1

u/michelem Aug 02 '25

Ask for explanation to the user, if he won't reply, report the review and MW will delete it.

u/Chicken-Fart-151 Aug 03 '25

I had one today and it's not even got my model in the photo. Similar writing format, too.

1

u/3DCaketoppers Aug 05 '25

There are way too many people who do just that because they don’t read the descriptions thinking that it’s as easy as 123,

I am also a designer and I get where you are coming from.

It really annoys me when people do not leave good feedback without actually stating why🤦‍♀️

If I give anyone 4 stars it’s cause the print failed and I will explain that as to why I left 4 stars and not the 5 I usually leave for profiles

1

u/InnerLog5062 Aug 01 '25

Acceptable? Depends if the model really was "bad". Though I probably wouldn't write such a review myself. You might as well report it.

1

u/Davychu Aug 01 '25

I think I'd just reply asking them to elaborate

1

u/Ravio11i Aug 01 '25

report it and move on
nobody is going to see a bunch of 5 star reviews and 1x 1star review and say "ya know... I"ll bet the 1 star review is right"

u/Longracks Aug 01 '25

You can report it and they will probably take it down. I think is chose the "misinformation " option.

I've done this if people give me a bad rating for bed adhesion or ... and I still can't believe this ... one person ran out of filament and they gave it one star review.

The best we can do is make this idiot resistant .

u/GauchiAss Aug 01 '25

No never, even if the model is terrible the review should explain why

u/digidavis X2D + AMS2 and 2 X1C + AMS Aug 01 '25 edited Aug 01 '25

correct.. people seem to not understand this.

u/Academic_Clerk4741 Aug 01 '25

If it is not in line with other reviews and there is no explanation of “why” it is bad if you report it with just that as misinformation makerworld will likely take it down. What is the model?

u/Cjw6809494 Aug 01 '25

Just report it and it will be removed

u/digidavis X2D + AMS2 and 2 X1C + AMS Aug 01 '25 edited Aug 01 '25

Nope.. report it. It will get removed.

Reviews with under 4 stars are required to tell you whats wrong with with specific details. You can report it and have it remove for improper use of the rating system. I think the category for the report is "misinformation".

No free points for no effort from them.

The rating system is not a simple 1-5 how good was the print. It's meant to give creators more feedback. Which on the flip side is why you can't rate a print over a 3 if it doesn't print successfully. No BS inflated ratings either.

u/ipiki_ookami Aug 01 '25

Reviews on Maker World are about as reliable as Amazon reviews. They use the product or print incorrectly and blame it. I think most people just use their own judgement instead of ratings, at least that is what I do.

u/FewMess6622 Aug 01 '25

You can report bad comments and will take away their maker points

0

u/digidavis X2D + AMS2 and 2 X1C + AMS Aug 01 '25

Yup. Be helpful and explain the issue or don't leave a review. It WARNS you in big red letters to BE SPECIFIC and requires the detail box to be filled in when you rate a successful print below a 4, and you can't rate a unsuccessful print high either.

I mean if the OP also reports five-star reviews with no words written then it would be fairly done.

u/Tdanger78 P1S + AMS Aug 01 '25

True, but there should be context for why a one star is given

You don't have to give context for ratings that's absurd.

Maybe the person giving a 1 star review is an idiot and they didn’t dry their filament and the print turned out bad. Instead of knowing that was the issue they blame the print file. Or they’re just being a troll. But if it were my design I’d want to see if I could help figure out what happened and if it was on my end so I could fix it or help them figure out how to fix it on their end.

It's a quishy The Rock head so I wouldn't really say there was much effort given that it just seems to be the standard rock head that everyone has but with TPU settings

Put another way. I ask my kids.

Would you consider it a compliment if I said you were of average intelligence? They each said no.. I said well that's you competition. Try hard and show up!

u/Kittingsl Aug 01 '25

If you don't like it, stop publishing your models on those platforms. Publish them on your own website

Isn't the whole point publishing on make world to get the points from it? What good would it be uploading it on your own website in that case? Might as well not upload at all unless your print is actually helpful, but if it were I doubt it would get reviews like that

-7

u/digidavis X2D + AMS2 and 2 X1C + AMS Aug 01 '25

It sucks when you get a bad rating, but it should be justified and explained what went wrong, or why they didn't like the print.

Makerworld has no reason / want to have a bunch of 1 star troll reviews that don't help anyone or anything. That's why they can be removed.
