Why We Credit Our Partners

Transparency isn’t just good business – it’s the foundation of trust in the tabletop gaming community, and it is Why We Credit Our Partners.

You’ll notice something different about Kingfisher 3D Printing: we tell you exactly where our designs come from. STLFlix designs 99% of our prints and are clearly credited on our homepage. Every partnership is openly acknowledged. Every limitation is honestly explained.

Why? Because our competitors are doing the opposite, and it’s hurting customers.

The Problem with Rebranding

Recently, we’ve seen competitors taking STLFlix designs, removing all attribution, and presenting them as their own “custom work.” They’re charging premium prices for what they claim are original creations while hiding the true source.

This isn’t just dishonest – it’s bad for everyone:

• Customers get misled about what they’re buying
• Original designers lose recognition for their work
• The community loses trust when the truth comes out
• Innovation suffers when credit isn’t given where due

Our Approach: Radical Transparency

At Kingfisher 3D Printing, we do things differently:

We credit our sources openly. Every STLFlix design comes with full attribution. You know exactly what you’re getting and who created it.

We’re honest about our capabilities. We offer custom printing for YOUR STL files, but we don’t modify existing designs or claim them as our own work.

We explain our partnerships. Our STLFlix lifetime license allows us to print and sell their designs legally – and we’re proud of that partnership.

We set clear expectations. You’ll never be surprised by what we can or can’t do because we tell you upfront.

Why This Matters to You

When you choose Kingfisher 3D Printing, you get:

• Honest pricing – No inflated costs for “custom” work that isn’t actually custom
• Quality assurance – We stand behind every product because we’re transparent about its source
• Community support – Your purchase supports both us AND the original designers
• Trust – What we say is what you get, every single time

The Bottom Line

Some businesses succeed by hiding the truth. We succeed by sharing it.

When you see a competitor claiming STLFlix designs as their own “custom work,” remember: if they’ll lie about their sources, what else aren’t they telling you?

At Kingfisher 3D Printing, transparency isn’t just a policy – it’s who we are. Because the tabletop gaming community deserves better than smoke and mirrors.
