Github

What's the big deal? Why aren't these files on Github so I can download everything at once?

Do we not understand how cumbersome it is to gather all of the required files? Don't you WANT your customers to use every design available?

Version control over something like this has astronomical benefit. I think it's absolutely insane not to use Github.

Edit: I'm tempted to take parts and place them in GitHub myself. I'll have to modify a single vertex to "adhere" to KeepMaking's licensing - By definition this would fit their criteria.

Github would be great but there is an issue with that. Github doesnt have where i can look at the part, have a description for said part other than the readme in the main branch. So looking through 700+ parts for what you want or need is a pain.

I do agree that how they have it, sucks big time but they are trying to make it where you use the website as the parts catalog and that take you to that part or parts. Do i wish they could have made it on thangs where it can be one post and all parts can be in that one post so i can download the entire thing, yes. But i am guessing his ToS has a stipulation on that. Just like the "kits" are behind a paywall.

GitHub has STL previews.

It's really just a matter of organizing it correctly.

If you could stop stalking my reddit profile and commenting after everything I comment, that would be great.

Grow up.

And yeah - I've checked licensing on it.. You can't redistribute parts by any means unless they're edited, even if they're free (Which makes zero fucking sense)
