if i could give negative stars i would.
I had an account on cults with money in it that had not been transferred to my paypal account yet. I received an email that they transferred my money to my account as instructed (by someone that changed the account any money should be transferred to, without cults notifying me of the change). When I checked, someone had used my email address, which is on your profile and signed in by saying they forgot their password, and easily got into my payment section and changed it to a foreign country and just changed the email for payment to his own. The theif walked away scott free with my funds, which was sent to france and paid in euros, even though my account stated i live in the US and has monitary in dollars. Cults has zero security, even though they need your info to open an account. When I contacted cults to tell them of their mistake (they DO NOT ASK BEFORE TRANSFERRING ALL OF YOUR FUNDS), they never replied to me after 3 days of emailing (the only way to contact them) and to date have not even responded. A quick google check brought up many complaints like mine about cults. They also have a credibility rating of 2.2 out of 5. If you have info on there, take it down. Just a friendly warning so no one else gets their designs paid gor and funds stolen, with no accountability. Cults3d is NOT to be trusted.

purchased a model a while ago but now when trying to download it i need to buy it again.

this site is a scam

The owner is a shyster and a thief, the site and his actions frequently contravene UK and EU trade and copyright laws.
If you are in the UK and you have fallen foul of this site, contact UK trading standards as they are currently collecting information about this site and how it is ran.
Im sure they would like to hear from you.

Allows their users to steal copyrighted material to sell as their own and refuses to take down the infringing files. Then they allow their users to place a copyright on what is already copyrighted? Um. No, that isn't how it works. Shady at best.

Cults still need to fix the internal better recognition for designers with 100 and more designs, independently if they are guru, Patreon or not. Not all of them decide or have time/resources/sponsorships to spent as Youtubers in the art field. There are many talented artists out there that just prefer to keep a low profile still providing an excellent service. Also, the actual submission system partially penalize the ones that cannot afford a 3D printer in order to provide your "makes" session. That is a feature that penalize freelancers in favor of small/medium companies made of 5 or more workers behind a seller profile. Some customers are developing a really bad mentality that suggest that the designers should provide the printing service. It's impossible. Due to the fact that printers, hardware in general is too variable and expensive. Inflation, different countries and VAT are a reality that they don't want to hear. Delusional people, very toxic.
Another fundamental aspect is also to give to the designer the ability to moderate comments from predatory people, uneducated and toxic behaviors only aimed to the so called shit posting.

The customer service, recently, it's almost absent. They took too much time on answer at urgent requests. Please, improve it.

I was a seller on the platform, sold about $100 worth of files, tried to payout the money I had earned but they refused to send me the money. Have since removed all my files from the site. Beware any 3D modellers, they will take your money and not pay you.

Ever since i purchased something from this website my facebook account and paypal account has been compromised.

Possibly the slowest website on the internet.
Do not recommend for anyone to share 3D designs. Especially annoying if what you're looking for i not availaible on printables or thingiverse.

Cults3d is my go-to 3D print company

They're my curry pot of flavours and ideas, from completely finished designs, to parts and other basic bits and pieces where you can buy at a cheaper rate than their competitors.

I have probably spent the most with Cults, but just shy of five stars. There is room for improvment.

I cannot download anything comfortably and it is impossible to download anything more than 100mb since it just stops midway. My wifi is relativaly fast and works fine with everything else. I can't even download the file I paid for.

Best website to download 3D printer files and models for CNC machining & laser cutting.

Racist
They will judge you based on your race.
Unprofessional way for communication

never an issue ordering from here, a lot of the designers ive messaged have been responsive and cooperative with new designs ive asked for

A while ago I had purchased 3d models from a seller on this site, after some time I wanted to download them again having already purchased them however the seller was no longer present so I was unable to recover my purchase, I was able to contact the seller who told me that he had been unjustly banned from cults3d, they also stole his earnings; Fortunately the seller still gave me a link to recover the purchase and opened his own website thingspawner.com
