  1. My name is Alex and I am a Service & Communications Manager from 3Dupndown.com.

    I have visited and have looked through your work on Thingiverse, I am amazed how creative you are and I am stunned by your designs.

    As I can see, you are well known by the 3D printing community and I was wondering if you would like to join our website as well. Well known designers from Thingiverse, such as Wall Tosh, Joseph Larson, in the case of companies, lefabshop, bq, oogime, have shared their designs on our website because of our distinctive profit system.

    Please upload your designs on our website and share your creative idea and promote your website, blog or works such as Thingiverse that you do.

    I have browsed through your files in Thingiverse and I can see that you have quite a library. I have great news for you. We have a library transfer service for users with a big library or if the users do not have any spare time.

    I hope to see your designs on our website as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    from, Alex
