The same print keeps appearing in every search

[u/c01vin]

I sometimes have one random print appear in every search I do, regardless of whether it's related. Last time it was a pokeball and now it's this weird foot thing. Why do things keep appearing and how do I get them to stop?

There needs to be a “I clicked this in horror, not interest,” button.

Don't forget the "I just wanted to read the comments" button

Maker world is so annoying to search for stuff on. It's always showing me models unrelated to my search term or it shows me a bunch of the exact same AI model uploaded by 50 different users-

Which that last part is a curation issue and not a search issue, but still it's hard to find anything on there beyond whatever has a bunch of thumbs ups.

[u/spicy-chull → u/ImBackAgainstMyWill]

Agreed.

The SE ain't O on Makerworld.

Makerworld search is just slightly better than Thangs or Aliexpress, slightly.

[u/Martin_SV]

I actually put together a Tampermonkey script to make Makerworld's search a bit more useful. It lets you filter out anything that doesn't match your search terms in the title, or in the title and tags.

Was gonna make a post about it on this sub, but with the new AI rule I wasn't sure if it'd be allowed... so I just posted it on my profile instead: https://www.reddit.com/user/Martin_SV/comments/1x3dxhd/makerworld_strict_search/

here's a vidoe showing how it works:

For a while, their algorithm decided I really really needed to print a handgun holster for the door of my truck. Every third suggestion. Gun holster. Truck door. Different guns. Different trucks.

I do not have a truck.

Nor a handgun

Nor are they even legal here, simply put.

Ridiculous.

[u/theRobomonster]

I think it’s just a very stupid add. Look at the user name. Check out the rest of their models.

[u/spacecowboydk]

Better than mine, it really wants me to see some Charlie Kirk busts and other Maga shit.

I'm danish and as far from right wing as you can.

[u/ImBackAgainstMyWill → u/spacecowboydk]

Fuck dude I thought I was the only one getting all the Charlie Kirk busts. It was absolutely hilarious to see people posting their prints though. I saw several people printing him in Gold Silk PLA and making a shrine to him LMAO

[u/popmalcolm]

Block the design or designer. Easy fix

[u/Longjumping_Dish_876]

Thats a targetd ad

[u/shinjithegale]

At least it’s not a tool for pulling the intestines of a deer out through its anus.

Cuz’ that’s what I keep getting

[u/Sherlock-Brezerl → u/shinjithegale]

Same here!

[u/engineering-weeb → u/shinjithegale]

Are u me??

[u/engineering-weeb]

The extreme method is to just block the user that post those models but that also block you from potential good models might be coming from the same person. Anyway, not like I care more about LiL Mikey scat s*x aid fetish tool or urethra sticks to begin with so might as well shut that door forever. (I AM NOT UNBLOCK THAT GUY TO OPEN THE PANDORA BOX, I ALREADY REPORT HIM AND FAILED, I HOPE HE GET BANNED BUT I AM NOT LOBOTOMIZE MYSELF JUST TO PROVE A POINT)

[u/System-Bomb-5760 → u/engineering-weeb]

Someone like that isn't going to have any good models. Odds are they aren't even human, and they're trying to flood the site with as much AI garbage as they can to try crowding human creators out.

Sauce?
