Model pages
Every tab and panel on a model page, explained.
A model's address looks like communitycad.dev/models/m3-standoff-123. The number at the end is what matters, so links keep working if the title changes.
Header#
- Title and file type.
- Accuracy: the average accuracy rating, as a star score.
- Like (needs sign-in) and the like count.
- Downloads: how many times files were downloaded.
- Printed N times: how many shared, completed prints there are. Click it to see the print profiles.
- Report: flag a problem to moderators. See Rules, reports and takedowns.
- Download: downloads the latest version's original upload. See Downloading.
Gallery#
Images uploaded by the creator come first, followed by automatically generated renders of the CAD files (labelled "Auto-generated render"). Click any image to enlarge it.
Tabs#
| Tab | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Description | The model's README or description, with formatting. |
| Versions | Every version, newest first, with its changelog, date, size and a download button. See Versions and editing. |
| Files | The files inside the model, sorted into cad/, exports/, assets/ and docs/, plus README and LICENSE. Download single files, and read datasheets (PDF) in place. See Organising your files. |
| Prints | Photos and timelapses of real prints, shared from printers. |
| Print profiles | The printer, material and slicer settings people printed it with, and how it turned out. |
Prints and print profiles are explained in Prints, print profiles and posts.
Sidebar#
On wide screens, the sidebar shows:
- The creator: avatar, name and bio, and either Donate or a thank-you heart if you already support them. The creator themselves sees Edit model.
- Rate accuracy: score the model on five dimensions (needs sign-in).
- File info: type, number of versions, upload date and views.
- License: which license applies, and its full text if the model has a LICENSE file. Read it before reusing a model. See Choosing a license.
- Source and attribution, for models imported from GitHub: the original author and a link to the source repository.
- Tags, each linking to a search.
Comments#
Below the tabs, anyone signed in can comment (Markdown works) and reply to a comment. You can delete your own comments; comments can't be edited.
Datasheet pages#
Each PDF datasheet on a public model also has its own page, so it can be found by search engines. Reading a datasheet never counts as a download.
