Eventually, Thingiverse may offer its creators new ways to build a business for themselves and dedicated spaces for communities to develop. You can read more about that here. Ostensibly, that'd mean things like premium models, creator subscriptions, and perhaps even crowdfunding are on the table.

As these things often do, it's got me thinking. How many of you put money into the models you print? Do you buy models outright, or subscribe to creators?
