What are your thoughts on sharing purchased STL files?

Wait 5 sec.

I'm needing some files edited in ways I'm not capable of doing, so I thought I could offer some of the files I've bought in exchange for someone making the edits for me. Obviously this is controversial as I'm sharing someone else's work, but I did purchase them. I agree you shouldnt put them out for free for everyone or try to resell them, but I think exchanging them with an individual or 2 should be ok - especially when the creator of the files won't assist in making them easier to print. And last time I asked for help with edits (literally just cutting a print in half with a straight cut), I got so many "artist" messaging me on here for like $100+ to do it.   submitted by   /u/No_Tomato_2106   to   r/3Dprinting [link]   [comments]
