MyMiniFactory is a large open ecosystem for 3d Creators and makers to share free and paid guaranteed 3d printable files. We are a welcoming place with clear and strong value. By joining MyMiniFactory, you will be able to follow your favorite Creators, like and comment on designs, publish your designs, create blog posts, buy files, and get special discounts.

A Store Manager has access to an abundance of exclusive tools provided by MyMiniFactory and by joining the program, you will receive support and benefits to grow your business from a dedicated Designer Relations Manager. To become a Store Manager is an opportunity for Digital Creators to monetize their creations. Follow the steps below to learn more and get started.

In respect of brands and copyright/ trademark laws MyMiniFactory does not allow sales of IP protected content, unless you hold a licensing agreement with the brand.

If you find any Creator who is selling an IP content, please report the object or contact us. We will inform the uploader and remove the object.

For now, MyMiniFactory only accepts PayPal as a subscription method for Store Manager subscriptions. We plan to implement subscription by card as an alternative method as soon as possible. If PayPal is not available in your country or region, please reach out to Creator Relations team at: creator-relations@myminifactory.com to seek alternative options.

To change your payment details, you need to unsubscribe from your current Store Manager subscription plan and subscribe again once your current Store Manager subscription cycle has ended.

Store payouts are made twice per month via PayPal - on the 14th and 28th of every month.
We are dedicated to making transactions on MyMiniFactory as safe as possible so every transaction is checked by MyMiniFactory. Occasionally this may take longer than expected and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

You can update your payout detail here . Please input the email used with your PayPal email and select save.

1. MyMiniFactory charges an 8% commission platform fee to Digital Creators on all revenue generated plus payment processing fees as per below:

a) Standard rate: 2.9% + $0.30 per successful payment over $3
b) Micropayment rate: 5% + $0.10 per successful payment $3 or less

Payment processing fees are calculated on the overall successful payment amount transacted with MyMiniFactory. If the overall successful payment amount is in excess of $3, Creators are charged the Standard rate (non-micropayment) payment processing fees on their object(s) sold irrespective if their proportion (object(s) within the total transaction payment amount) of the overall successful payment is more or less than $3.

2. Creator Payout fees charged by MyMiniFactory = 0% (zero)

1. MyMiniFactory manages all VAT/Sales Tax on behalf of the Creator. We collect and remit the applicable VAT/Sales Tax on your behalf to the relevant tax authorities. We are doing this to make matters as easy as possible for the Creators on MyMiniFactory.
2. Your object for sale will advertise the price without VAT/Sales Tax and then if a customer is from an applicable country or region at the checkout stage, the relevant VAT/Sales Tax due will be added to the object price. For example, a Creator inputs the object price without VAT/Sales Tax at $10. A customer is from the UK and a 20% VAT rate is applicable. The price the customer sees and pays at the checkout stage will be $12.
3. The MyMiniFactory 8% commission platform fee is applicable on the object price without VAT/Sales Tax included.
4. Payment processing fees are applicable on the gross object price paid with VAT/Sales Tax included.
5. If you are resident in the UK and registered for VAT, we ask that you please provide us with your valid VAT number and contact your Designer Relations Manager directly to provide you with further information.

MyMiniFactory charges and remits VAT/Sales Tax in MyMiniFactory’s name.

A) Object price = $10 (without VAT)
B) Applicable sales tax / VAT of 20% = $2 (total price paid is $10 + $2 = $12)
C) Payment processing fees = $0.65 (calculated on the gross $12 amount (including sales tax / VAT), fees are 2.9% + $0.30)
D) MyMiniFactory 8% commission platform fee = $0.80 (calculated on the $10 object price (excluding sales tax / VAT))

Creator net payout earnings: $8.55 (= A - C - D) (= $10 - $0.65 - $0.80)

MyMiniFactory collects the sales tax / VAT that the customer originally paid ($2.00 in this example) and sends it to the relevant authority. The figures used in this example are rounded to 2 decimal places.

Before approving objects we want to make sure that your object will be printable. The best way to prove this is by submitting a picture of your object 3D printed. Your pictures will then go through our community to make sure that those are indeed pictures of print rather than 3D renders.

We check the uploaded files from printability. Our software checks a few criteria and it might fail for those reasons:
1. Presence of degenerated faces
2. Presence of duplicated faces
3. Mesh is not manifold
4. The normals are not consistent
5. The volume is less than 0
6. Some faces are intersecting each other
You can check what is wrong with your mesh using this little online tool.

- Extra rewards are unlocked by more Pioneers (Milestones)
- A FronTier may host any number of Tiers, often including Earlybirds which offer rewards at a reduced rate for either a limited amount of time or seats
- Pioneers (supporters of a FronTier) can purchase Add-ons that may include previous projects and more non-core content that compliment the FrontTier
- Creators, Pioneers and members of the community are able to communicate and share feedback using the Comments section
- Updates allow Creators to keep the community informed with notable events throughout the FronTier, such as file releases and Milestone unlocks
- A comprehensive “About FronTier” section so Creators can detail each element of the project

The Creators of MyMiniFactory are at the forefront of the MyMiniFactory Ecosystem. They are pioneering the industry and breaking boundaries with their content which can now be released through a FronTier.

As with any new release, you may experience some bugs or lack of certain functionalities. If you have any feedback regarding FronTiers or ideas to help improve this product, please don’t hesitate to Contact Us.
