Open 3D printing communities present many opportunities and promises for innovation and co-creation on the web, broadening participation. However, these communities are also riddled with sensitive content– not safe for work– such as sexual, violent 3D models.
Inspired by the motivation to make online 3D printing community safe and enjoyable by anyone with its open nature, we identify socio-technical challenges in 3D printing communities, primarily investigating Thingiverse, the most popular repository based community. We examine existing 3D models shared for free access and user activities associated with them, and provide insights of:
