Unless they like, have approval from the original creator- I wouldn't mind buying the clanky dragons to tinker around with! Sometimes people upload free models for others to 3d print and make them.

It doesn't matter if they were free, artist alley spots are for artists selling their wares. Downloading publicly available files and printing it isn't that. If you're selling 3D prints in the AA then the models should be your creations, too.

It's a place for artists, not sellers. If you want to sell things you didn't design you're always welcome to try to apply for a vendor table.

Pardon me please, by the way, if I misunderstood the intent of your original comment. It seemed to be a dunk on what you considered undue gatekeeping, but now I realize it could just as well have been meant as a lament about others' undue gatekeeping.

Yeah, and that's a good thing. Artists have no lobby, we have no big institution who does it for us. So we'll do it ourselves and keep the freeloaders out and the quality of vendors high.

The idea of selling "prints" at an art dealer den is that the seller is the one who created them, 3D or not You wouldn't sell a 2D image that you didn't create yourself under the guise of creating it yourself just because you have the legal right to reproduce it
