Welcome to the HLI Community! Our goal is a friendly, helpful place for model builders and 3D printers of all skill levels. By posting here, you agree to follow these rules.
We reserve the right to log access attempts, preserve relevant account data, and cooperate with law enforcement as required by law in cases of suspected illegal activity. If we suspect illegal activity (including grooming, exploitation, or any content involving minors), we will preserve relevant account data and cooperate with law enforcement as required, including responding to lawful requests for information. Do not attempt to access this section if you are underage.
By enabling access, you are affirming under penalty of account termination that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live). If you are underage, do not enable access. Any attempt to gain entry while underage, or any false age representation, will result in immediate removal of access and may lead to account suspension or a permanent ban.
Thanks for helping keep HLI welcoming, fun, and drama-free.
- Be respectful. No harassment, hate speech, bullying, dogpiling, or personal attacks. Debate ideas, not people.
- Keep it legal and safe. No illegal content, instructions for wrongdoing, or anything that puts people at risk.
- Keep it clean and on-topic. Post in the right section, use clear titles, and avoid spam, baiting, and flame wars.
- No politics or real-world drama. This is a hobby community—keep the focus on builds, tools, and creative work.
- Credit creators. If you share STL files, models, artwork, or reference material, give proper credit and respect licensing. No piracy.
- Photos and media guidelines. Keep images relevant, avoid shock content, and use spoiler/NSFW labels where appropriate.
- Marketplace and self-promo. Follow the rules of the Sales/Marketplace areas. No unsolicited advertising in other sections.
- Moderation. Mods may edit, move, or remove content to keep the community healthy. Repeated issues can lead to warnings, temporary restrictions, or bans.
