Hey Everyone!Today we have some fancy administration stuff in regards to our sellers! 

We’ve been getting a lot of reports lately from Temu and Alibaba of Cinderwing3D dragons being sold without license. We have never allowed for these types of sales and our TOS (which you can read here) reflects that. Furthermore, we are officially banning selling through the platforms TEMU and Alibaba, in addition to all drop-shipping sites/platforms. It is important to us to protect the thousands of small businesses across the world who sell Cinderwing Dragons and we have issued takedowns left and right. We thank you all for the support and reports you’ve been sending in over email and Discord! We will continue to fight these bad actors to the best of our ability! That being said we’d like to also add some reminders! These are compiled from a list of questions we’ve been getting a lot of recently.- You may NOT use Cinderwing3D photos for your own listings. If you are doing, so please swap them out for your own photos. We have never allowed this and many sites like Etsy are now cracking down on the use of “stock” photos. So this is as much for us as it is for you!- You may NOT use OTHER user’s photos either. I cannot stress enough, please use your OWN photos.- Your subscription allows you to sell PHYSICAL PRINTS, you may NEVER distribute STLs, 3MFs, or any of my digital files including Makerworld, Thingiverse, anywhere!- This also includes paintjobs, which are done via 3MFs, you can share those with the community through the Cinderwing3D email (contactcinderwing3d@gmail.com), or Discord Tickets!- Filling out the seller form is super important. It helps us be able to check your shops quickly. - Patreon messages generally will not be answered, PLEASE use email or Discord for any reports or inquiries. - You can sell physical prints of past models as long as you bought them! Files are only sold on Cults3D, MyMiniFactory, and Etsy. The important thing is that you are subscribed!

Thank you all for your amazing support!

Tracy and Cinderwing Team!

That’s the best news today, I report all of those post when I see them

Brad (RFD3D)

Thank you for everything you do.

Patrick Barnes

I wonder if there's some AI tool you can use to aggregate these type of listings, but exclude amazon listings for filament demos, for instance.

Royal Fortune 3D

Just to clarify, selling via our own domain and at markets in person is still ok correct? Just no 3rd party loop in?

CreationsbyJellybean

This is sad that this post has to be posted. I try and report all thst I see. Cinder3D I'm sorry this has happened to you. Be being a svg and drawer I know the feeling way to well that stuff get stolen.

anthony floyd

Thank you for everything you do and making sure everything is 100% legit for everyone who does it the right way

Patrick Barnes

In person markets, etsy etc. Just no temu/aliexpress/other bad actors is my read.

Jason Mooney

Thank you, jazzy, and everyone in helping with the efforts

nicky Thibodeaux

I hope it's okay I save ur photos in the file until I make it? then I delete urs and keep mine. I don't post anyone photos. I can't stand when someone uses mine without asking.

Jazzy_Plz

No it is not ok. Please use your own photos.

FS3D

fab work as always. thanks for everything you do for us

Erynn Flaherty

You mention paintjobs and 3MFs, are hand painted physical prints (that may not adhere to the colored 3MF file or your physical examples) not okay to sell? I'm only able to print one color at a time and like to do hand paints after the fact.

Jazzy_Plz

No those are fine!

nicky Thibodeaux

So it's not okay for me to save her photo in the file I download from her? I'm not posting her photos are anyone else for that matter. I know more about copyright and tm more then you probably think I do. So I have to delete her photos out the file I downloaded from her?

Jazzy_Plz

If you are just saving them to have it as reference for yourself? That's fine. You cannot use them if you are selling online as a reference to others.

Erynn Flaherty

Oh great to hear! Thank you! I'm sorry that this had to be posted...I'll have to double check, too, but I bought a mega-pack of .stl files some time ago before I got into all of this and I was looking through the folder the other day and thought I saw some Cinderwing3D files. I'll go through it again later and touch base with you as I'm now positive that a lot of those files were sold unauthorized.

Jazzy_Plz

They absolutely were bad actors, we do not offer anything in any mega packs anywhere

nicky Thibodeaux

OK I didn't think you was completely understanding what I was saying. Totally just reference for myself once I print I deleted image then save my own in the files. I make a lot of her stuff own 80-90 percent of her files its hard to keep up with them ;) thank you

Jazzy_Plz

All good! Sorry I misunderstood, it's a bit of a whirlwind right now of questions haha

nicky Thibodeaux

No worries hun, I understand completely. Thank you and have a good day;)

nicky Thibodeaux

Best place to get her files are here, etsy are her minifactory. I usually don't get anything that looks like hers unless I know it's her. You could end up with a lot of copyright files and most are more damaged. I'm just trying to help you locate her better.

Jazzy_Plz

I do not recommend Etsy. MMF is probably the most convinent in terms of things since we archive there. Etsy also doesnt seem to allow for file updates.

nicky Thibodeaux

OK great thanks for the information. I won't use etsy.

Jayde Hilliard Illustration

Piracy is such a huge problem. I have had illustrations of mine stolen in the past few years and being sold by people opening POD accounts across various platforms. It is so time consuming to pursue to get the listings removed. I hope you can get the point across fast that you will not allow this, and they move away from trying to pirate your files.

Nick Passamonti

I subscribe and sell but I've had my Instagram photos taken down of all my cinderwing stuff is there some kind of issue there? Photos were taken by me and even posted with the seller badge

Jazzy_Plz

Hey there, that wasn't us who did that! I'm not sure why that would be happening but I assure you it wasn't Cinderwing doing it I personally had a lot of trouble using Facebook marketplace for 3d prints cause facebook would take them down for all sorts of stupid reasons

Jazzy_Plz

Yeah it taking for EVER but it will be worth it!!!!!!!

Ariann Childress

Thank you for the information. I use my own photos and authorized seller print I've done as well in everything. I only post either on my own personal website or tiktok, facebook, and Instagram with directions on how to get to them. I don't sell on Etsy at all or any other platform~

Paradoxal_Dinosaur

I shop on Temu and Aliexpress alot, as I buy and resell enamel pins for comicons, and I see alot of 3D prints for sale on there. If we see listing with your files, do you want us to send the links to you, or would that even be helpful?

Jazzy_Plz

We got a list of over 100 already so more wont hurt!

Paradoxal_Dinosaur

Where do you want them sent? I just saw one on Temu 5 minutes ago.

Jazzy_Plz

email (contactcinderwing3d@gmail.com) or a Discord Ticket!

HedgeCrafts Gamer Gear

I see ads all the time on Facebook and I comment on them telling people they're using stolen stls and whose they are, I also report the ad

Jazzy_Plz

Heck yeah! I will say there ARE legit sellers who use ads though! Wyvern's Hoard comes to mind, they are super legit!

HedgeCrafts Gamer Gear

The ones I target are definitely not legit, they usually have those sketchy temu looking pages that probably mass produce and ship out of Asia somewhere

prime3d

Hi jazzy

prime3d

I'm a subscribed seller who loves what cinderwing creates and shearing her creations with the world and the smiles it gives people Neva gets old! I just wanted to check its ok that I add a message inside the dragon eggs I sell on etsy I use bamboo slicer to achieve this but I suddenly thought is this classed as changing the file in some way that may violate your rules?

Jazzy_Plz

Yep, you'd be right! Maybe a cute paper note would work instead?

Jazzy_Plz

Valid, get'em!!!!!!!!

Jasthad

I know I saw some being sold at a department store, are we allowed to sell to stores to sell to the public?

Jazzy_Plz

Please reach out via email (contactcinderwing3d@gmail.com) or Discord Ticket for more info on wholesale type things! A lot of people sell via consignment though! Its very common! I have three stores I do consignment with locally!

ProtoSpyre LLC

Thank you for supporting all designers!! This is why we’re so hesitant to even release any file online!

Sam Dekok

Was just quoted 50 pcs of 15cm winged dragons from china at $4.80 USD per piece delivered to Australia. Keen to send the info and screenshots to someone not sure how

Jazzy_Plz

You can do so via email (contactcinderwing3d@gmail.com) or via Discord in the support ticket channel!

Petr Balatka

What's that? Alibaba and Temu being shiesty AF? Nooo waaay.

Tatra

i try to let you know when i see something like this. i see your design at a local grocery store with no authorized seller badge. idk if the individual has the rights as they are older models of yours. lmk if you need more info

Jazzy_Plz

Feel free to email us at contactcinderwing3d@gmail.com or open a Discord ticket to send us info!

Nichols Machine

especially where they are from a country that outright doesn't view or prosecute IP theft... sadly its only a matter of time before stuff like this happens

Magical 3D and Lasers

So... is selling on Etsy allowed??? Not that I do that site because of the low price hookers that hang there...

Jazzy_Plz

Yes Etsy is fine! Pricing aside haha

Andrea DeJong

What about Amazon? There are tons of there too

Andrea DeJong

I have a whole list of stores names and item ID's for temu. Where can I send them?

Jazzy_Plz

You can email them to contactcinderwing3d@gmail.com

Jazzy_Plz

We have some authorized sellers on Amazon

Alpha Temptress Publishing

If I'm selling at events locally do I need to fill out the seller form? If I sell online it's through a fb group.

Jazzy_Plz

It helps us keep track yeah!

Liana

Hi, I’m new to all of this and I subscribed, but I’m not sure how to access the past files

junerising

I get really defensive of y'all when i see seller's abusing your stuff. Grrrr!

Jazzy_Plz

We don't have access to past files, you have access to the welcome pack though! Check out the pinned post here on patreon! Any free files will be under the collections tab up top!

2026-09-05 15:00 I dont have an official shop of any kind, but I would like to sell these kinds of prints to friends, I'm not sure how to fill out the seller form without being an official "shop"

A name is plenty!

Cedar Hollow Creations

I filled out the seller form when I joined last month, but how do I get the Authorized Seller Badge that I am supposed to display?

Jazzy_Plz

Hey there, the badge is attached to the last page of the form! If you missed it the first time around, just fill the form out again

Mr One Six

I was confused as number 2 in the Terms and Conditions states that the license gives you the right to use images. (which i didnt want to do, i just wanted to use a link to the Cults3D page or something to give people a general idea of what I would be printing, I attempted to clarify in the discord and was met almost Immediately with "the use of lawyers" instead of an explanation. It seemed very hostile so i left the discord.) Im still unsure of being able to send someone to a website owned by Cinderwing3D to advertise what models i print. To clarify, i do not have a website, nor do i intend to use the images from cinderwing3d to advertise "this is what im selling" if the use of a link to a Cinderwing3D site is permitted it would be made clear that the models in the pictures are NOT MY PRINTS.

cinderwing3d

As long as you are not using my photos on YOUR listings that's all I'm worried about. If you wanna direct folks to my site or cults or something that is fine.

DJ

Where do I find a seller's form?

chantiprints3d

I saw many dragons on Temu recently ☹️

cinderwing3d

Yes we are working with a team of people now to get the takedowns done even faster!
