Btw, can anyone explain what piracy in 3D printing is about? Is this about some proprietary and costly replacement parts for a specific use? Or Patreon art/designs by independent creators? And what's Materize? Some underground platform?

A few things come to mind:
- Non-Free TTRPG Ressources, basically what you would buy on MyMiniFactory or Patron etc.
- Lego and similar toys
- Community made content that is based on, but not licensed by, some franchises, e.g. a Mikey Mouse figurine, a 3D Avengers logo, etc.
40k it's always 40k
This time it isn't!
Thx. Explains why I haven't heard of any of that. I've stopped accumulating every hobby out there at some point, and I didn't make it to figurines and 40k.
It could be to preserve something that's likely to be taken away in the not too distant future.
Sure. Piracy and archiving can be related. But what kind of object/shape would that be? Ultimately every digital file is threatened with vanishing. Unless some people keep it around. But that's a very broad statement about how the world works in general.
If you can't find them on Telegram, there isn't much else. If you already are in the private tracker scene you can try to get into Materize but invites may be tricky grab.
I am in the scene, and I've been trying to get an invite. It is incredibly hard to find aha. Lots of scammers offering to let you buy your way in for the low price of $75-$200! Totally legit aha
Should be able to find official invites on the invite forums of other private trackers, however they may be inactive when you first find them. I had to wait a few months for an inactive thread I found to begin offering invites again.
Alright, I'm hunker down and wait. Hopefully it isn't too long aha
