Top-scored toys, figurines & fidgets designs
From the 50 highest opportunity scores across the index. Downloads are interest in the model, not sales.
Source is the platform each design was read from. Downloads are that platform's cumulative count when MeshNomics last read it; this page refreshes daily, but the index does not publish a per-design capture date, so counts of different ages may sit side by side. Score is the MeshNomics opportunity score, a ranking aid for further research and not a sales forecast (how scores work).
| Design | Source | Licence | Downloads | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baby Groot by Byambaa | Thingiverse | CC BY-NC-ND | 920,133 | 66 |
| Cute Mini Octopus by McGybeer | Thingiverse | CC BY-NC-SA | 1,292,407 | 64 |
Watch-outs before you sell
- Skip anything licensed CC BY-NC or MakerWorld's Standard Digital File License unless you have written permission.
- Licensed characters, logos and brand-name fit parts can carry trademark risk even under an open licence.
- Etsy only allows 3D-printed items based on your own original designs; eBay, your own store and local markets are options for licensed prints.
Full detail: can you legally sell 3D prints from Thingiverse, Printables or MakerWorld?
