Prominent model repository Thingiverse joins MyMiniFactory’s larger family of creator sites under the umbrella of SoulCrafted, an anti-AI “movement.” Nothing will change in the short term, but eventually the site will orient itself around new communities of user.

An early twist in 2026’s game of bingo as Thingiverse finally severs all ties from MakerBot (currently a part of UltiMaker) and joins London-based MyMiniFactory, in an acquisition that sees the model repository fold directly into the MMF business structure with senior leadership from the latter assuming control of the former.

    Probably for the best. Ultimaker only reluctantly put resources into it. It was a sale or death. At least MMF has a business model that actually aligns with what Thingiverse does.
