But that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone! Ha!
I posted pictures of the Christmas gifts I made on social media and had a huge amount of interest in making promotional items for a company.
My problem is that I used a premade file and I can’t recall where I found it. I’ve been doing searches in the forums, looking online, and I can’t seem to find its place of origin. I just want to make sure that it is okay to sell said design. I did make alterations to the size and added graphics but I don’t know if that’s enough to call it “my own”.
If you or anyone you know have information on this file please reply. The last thing I want to do is rip off another glowforger! Thank you guys in advance! I’ll probably delete this once I have an answer so it isn’t taking up room in the posts.
Hmm the concept is simple and widespread, why not redesign it in a way that makes it yours?
Change it to a hexagonal box, alter the way the tabs work, change the living hinge pattern. Alter the base so that it has decorative “feet” (by varying the overall shape).
In short, I don’t think “a living hinge cornered box design with a hole in the top” is something that any one person is going to be able to make a claim to. Use this as inspiration to make it even better, and you’re in the clear.
That’s the one! But do you know where it’s from or did you design it? I do still have the file, I just wanted to know if it was okay to engrave and sell my finished product.
That may not be the source I used originally but I will download and modify that file to make it my own and be safe. Thank you! Unless anyone sees a reason not to, I’ll close this thread.
