Before you pick this

Starter is a bigger allowance, not a different licence.

What you get

  • ✓10 STL downloads a week, up from the free allowance
  • ✓Every tool and mold type, the same ones Pro gets
  • ✓Unlimited generating and previewing, as always
  • ✓Cancel anytime, and keep every file you already downloaded

What it does not include

  • ✕Selling what you make. Starter is personal use only, the same as the free account
  • ✕Removing the Meshcast mark. Every export keeps the small engraving
  • ✕Your own logo on your files
  • ✕Unlimited downloads, or priority generation speed

Selling anything at all? Starter will not cover you.

Market stalls, Etsy, a few candles for a friend's shop: all of that needs commercial rights, and those are Pro's. Pro also drops the Meshcast mark and puts your own logo on every file. It is $20 a month, or $179 a year.

Questions

Good to know.

Can I sell what I make on Starter? +
No. Starter is personal use only, exactly like the free account. If you want to sell the molds or the things you cast from them, you need Pro or Founder. This is the one real difference between Starter and Pro, so it is worth being sure before you subscribe.
What happens when I use all 10? +
Everything except downloading keeps working: you can still open any tool, upload models, change settings and preview in 3D. The allowance refills seven days after you use the tenth one, and your account page shows exactly when.
Do my files still have the Meshcast mark? +
Yes. Starter keeps the small engraving that free downloads carry. Removing it, or replacing it with your own logo, is part of Pro.
Can I move up to Pro later? +
Yes, any time, and nothing you have already made is affected. Cancel Starter from your account and start Pro, and the commercial rights apply from then on.
Is 10 a week enough? +
For most personal projects, yes: a typical week across all our members is well under that. If you are regularly downloading more than ten finished molds a week, you are probably making things to sell, and Pro removes the cap entirely as well as covering you legally.

Make more, for yourself or to sell.

Starter covers your own projects. The moment you want to sell, Pro has you covered, and you can switch any time.
