models submitted so far. You would be the first.
If you made something that repairs, mounts, holds or replaces a thing, it belongs in this register. Nothing has been submitted yet, and the invitation is worth more with that said than without it.
What happens to a submission today — the whole of it
The form below runs entirely in this browser tab. Filling it in sends nothing anywhere. When you press the button, it writes out a plain-text block and either copies it or opens your own mail program addressed to oleg@mlkv.org. You send it. A person reads it and adds the row by hand.
There is no database, no server, no account and no upload. Nothing you type is stored, logged or transmitted unless you send the message yourself. A submission is an email between two people until the row appears in the register, and that is the entire mechanism as of 2026-08-25.
No submission has ever been received, so the time it takes to answer one is unknown.
What you grant, in six sentences
- You warrant that you made this model, or that you have the right to submit it.
- You choose the licence, by SPDX identifier, and it travels with the model. The register displays it, never changes it, never relicenses it and never sublicenses it to anybody.
- You grant a non-exclusive right to display the metadata and images you submit, and to link to wherever the files live. Non-exclusive means the model can sit on Printables, Thingiverse or your own site at the same time. Nothing exclusive is ever asked for.
- The register does not host your files unless you upload them. If you do, they are served under the licence you stated and under nothing else.
- You can withdraw. One request removes the entry, and no copy is kept afterwards.
- Your submission is not used to train anything.
Where this shape comes from, and the question still open under sentence 1
The submitter's warranty is not an invention of this site. NIH 3D states it in its own terms — "Users are responsible for selecting and applying the appropriate license to their content. NIH 3D does not enforce license terms on behalf of contributors" — and Cults3D places the same duty on the creator through the creator's guarantee.
The open question, stated rather than hidden. A model that also sits on a commercial repository may be bound by that repository's creator-side upload terms, which are where an exclusivity or licence-back clause would live if one existed. Those terms have not been read yet. Nothing observed suggests such a clause exists and nothing observed rules it out. Because a submission today is an email that a person reads, no row can be published without that being checked first — but if you are submitting a model that is also published elsewhere, it is worth your own look at the terms you accepted there.
The submission
Every field except the notes is needed for a row to be admissible. A licence given as an SPDX identifier is the one hard requirement: a row without one does not render.
What is refused, so you know before you spend the time
- A model without an SPDX licence identifier.
- A model you did not make and have no right to submit.
- Anything decorative. This register is only for models that do a job.
- A link to a file dump rather than to a page a person can read.
