Started a 3D Printer file marketplace!

Its at the3dprinterbay.com. Let me know how you guys think about it and what I need to change Always open to suggestions.

First reaction; It doesn't look very welcoming?

The files have a weird name, and the site is very unclear on what the goal is.

I suggest working on communicating what you do on your site.

Lol yea that was a test file. Thanks for the suggestions will work on it.

Well it looks like ... empty. "Echo !"

Moving this thread to the appropriate "object repositories" subforum.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

Well, that whole charging for things probably isn't going to be real successful, at least with this community. Not that you don't have a right to, just that a lot of reprappers believe in a more "open source" type of a model.

Naming it the3dprinterbay, playing off of thepiratebay, also doesn't lead a lot of credibility to your legitimacy. When I first saw it, I thought "Oh, it's pirating other peoples work" and when I saw the paypal link, I then thought "oh...and he's charging people for that. SCAM!" Now it may have nothing to do with either of those, but those were my first impressions.

I actually wanted it to be mostly free. Also, I just realized it sounded like thepiratebay.
