I have a lifetime subscription and gotta say I think it's worth it. The amount of stuff they're putting out is incredible. Personally, I've never stumbled on model quality issues. I remember someone complained about an anatomy model they put out a couple months ago, the lung was out of proportion or something. They promptly removed the model and uploaded it back the next day, with the issue fixed. For me that's what matters in this regard: if something is wrong or broken they will humbly apologize and fix it right away.

They added a Quality Control team that is dedicated 100% to ensure the models are not jacked - as that has happened previously.

Jim, Thanks for showing this. If I was selling printed models this might make sense, but as a hobbyist, the lifetime pricing is not something I need. I wish them success, and maybe in the future they will have this deal back again.

Just saw a discussion downstairs saying that some of their models will have scale issues, and someone else said they will fix it soon after it happens. As a company that specializes in using models to advertise long lines, their subscription is really not expensive (and it's fine if there are problems as long as they're fixed instantly), and I'll consider a 4-month subscription to see what it's like. Thank you very much!🥰

I checked. For a monthly membership with commercial license its 29ish USD. So the $499 is less than 2 years of that. I notice you need to scroll way down to get to any pricing. Never a good sign. I just don't see how to justify this or the monthly

I had the commercial license for 3 months then opted into the lifetime when they offered it. They have many great models and I love how they release drops that are themed. Plus most animal keychains they offer also include a version without the keychain hole, so then it's a toy. Recommended!

I subscribed to their service around 4 months ago and kept it for about 2 months. I didn’t experience issues with model quality, except for one file. I also heard that they've now hired a dedicated team to check file quality, as they were aware of previous issues. I ended up canceling because of the overwhelming number of emails-I was getting 5-10 emails daily even after requesting fewer. They finally adjusted it a few weeks later, but by then, I had already left. I also felt the content was getting a bit repetitive at that time. Ironically, just after I canceled, I started seeing some interesting models (I still get emails about drops), and now I'm considering subscribing again.

It would be helpful if they allowed us to browse the whole catalog instead of hiding it behind a paywall. Outside of the paid promotion videos there isn't much out there on STLFlix and thats concerning.

@@highraven1999I can understand what you mean, but everybody makes a lot of the same models, for example dragons or swords or any animals etc. Just like all of us who make videos primarily make videos on the same 3D printers, the difference is the person presenting that video or in this case the person modeling that model. It's not a knockoff, it's their version of It. That's what I think at least.
