That is great!!!
Thank you everyone for your support, the email I received was a proper correction. I have replied appropriately.
Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your messages and for handling this matter with such understanding. I truly appreciate your kind words about my channel and your good wishes for my success, that really means a lot to me.
You are absolutely right, the model and photos I used were based on your
original work, and I sincerely apologize for not properly attributing your contributions earlier. That was an oversight on my part, not an attempt to > take credit for your efforts.
I have now:
- Added clear attribution and a link to your original Printables file in the video description.
- Removed your photographs from the thumbnail to avoid any further issue.
- My Ko-fi account is currently suspended, and if it gets reinstated, I will make sure to delete the PDF that contained your material
I genuinely admire your generosity in sharing your work with the community and the effort you’ve put into creating such detailed parametric designs. I’ve followed and admired your creations on Printables for quite some time, they’re truly inspiring. It’s unfortunate that our first interaction had to happen because of an issue like this.
Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to correct this and for your patience and fairness throughout the process.
Your plagiarist’s contrite apology was likely AI generated, maybe that doesn’t matter as they likely do not have English as a first language.
They may have been trying to give a real apology.
that said, here’s the clue:
