Reports have suggested that over half of all 3D Prints fail, most often due to bad input models. Ideas Worth Making wants to provide you with the right tools so you can make sure your prints come out the way you expect.

Ideas Worth Making is currently testing a new free automated file repair tool available on their website.

Upload almost any file format, convert to STL, analyze and repair poor quality models for free - and most importantly, let us know what you think! Your feedback will allow us to continue to improve our file repair tool.

Go to ideasworthmaking.com to get started right away!

Great! I’ll try it out now.

IMHO. The only problem I have with the cloud file repair or conversion sites as a useful tool is that “now you have my file” even if I never intended to share. I would FEEL much better if the option to delete the data was front and center in the marketing of these new sites. Again, IMHO.

Hi @AtomJaay, thanks for the feedback! In the future we will have the option to keep your uploaded files private, would that solve your share-anxiety? :slight_smile:

Partially. The option to review and delete from my own profile and the assurance that the data is indeed deleted is what I’d like to see as a standard feature of all the cloud processing sites and sharing sites. Thanx for the response.

Hi @lisaJ, how did you like the file repair? Looking forward to any feedback you might have. :slight_smile:

Yes, I tried it out yesterday. I really like the file repair and I want to use it more often. The result is great! Unfortunately, I will only repair 3 models a day. So I have to go back to Ideas Worth Making every day…

I also like MakePrintable.com its more automated.
