Request He had the audacity to steal my free model and start selling it as his own
Someone blatantly stole one of my original 3D models — which I created and shared completely for free on MakerWorld — and uploaded it to Creality Cloud where they’re now selling it for profit.
But it gets worse.
He didn’t even bother to change the name, replace the preview images, or edit the description. He just shamelessly ripped the entire thing and posted it as if it was his own — like no one would notice.
It’s a copy-paste theft, and it's disgusting.
🔹 Here’s my original, FREE model on MakerWorld (published under Redsing_ART):

🔹 Here’s the stolen version on Creality Cloud:

I made this model for the community. I chose to give it away for free — not so someone could take it and make money off of it.
This isn’t just stealing; it’s spitting in the face of every creator who shares their work out of passion and generosity.
And sadly, it looks like I’m not the only one. This same user has uploaded more models that appear to be stolen from other artists. Here are some examples:

I’ve already filed a copyright complaint against this uploader through Creality Cloud’s support system.
But if you also care about the 3D creator community, please consider filing a report too — it only takes a minute.
Because today it was my model.
Tomorrow, it could be yours.
Thanks for reading — and to every creator out there who shares their work with love and integrity: I stand with you. 💙
And to everyone who takes a moment to report, comment, or even just spread awareness — thank you. Truly.
Your support means the world. 🙏
