Give your fans an opportunity to support your passion for design on a monthly basis. It is easy: simply set up your own Club and let them subscribe. In return, you can choose to provide your supporters with some exciting benefits. The specific benefits you offer are entirely up to you.

The system is designed to allow users to support their favorite creators in their activities, rather than being a 3D model marketplace. This core idea is reflected in many of the features.

Should I start my own Club?

The subscription model of Printables Clubs is perfect for creators who post fairly regularly and for people who want to support such creators in the long term. Even in cases where the creator shares all their work for free. 

Starting a Club is not ideal for creators who publish models occasionally with low frequency or models of low quality, but you may still find fans who will be happy to support you anyway.

Before you start to set up your Club, consider the following usage examples:

• Make all your models public and allow users to support you. As an additional advantage for certain subscription tiers, you can upgrade your supporter's license, which grants them permission for commercial use of your models.
• Share your new models in the 'Exclusive models' section, making them accessible only to your supporters. After a designated period, these models can automatically become public. This strategy will effectively promote your club and attract new subscribers.
• Share some models publicly to showcase your designs and use other models as exclusive content for your supporters.
