Is the number of collections at Prusaprinter.org limited to 9 ?

I am opening a new thread on top level for this question, hoping that someone from Prusa reads this and can clarify  this for me.

For days I was desperately searching for the "create new collection" button. I had created and filled nine collection already, when I found a really nice antenna design. I realized that for amateur radio, which is one of my many hobbies, I did not have a fitting collection. So without expecting any troubles, I wanted to create a tenth collection, but the button "create new collection" was gone.

Thanks to the help of another user in a separate thread, I learned that one can apparently only create nine collections.

Can anyone with insight into this feature please clarify this to me? If am really limited to nine collections, I have to organize them completely differently, in order to accommodate everything that I am interested in.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Herbert

Seems to be 10 for me, 11 with the default "Liked" collection... this is weird. For me it is a mix of 8 private and 2 public

Stumbled on the same issue. 10 collections seems to be the limit. Wierd and nonsense.

Hiya Herbert.

Currently right now, you are correct, there is a limit to the number of collections you can create. But we are working on expanding that so individuals can have more collections under their accounts. It is currently being worked on now and should be done in a few weeks. So please keep an eye on the forums for updates.

Thanks 🙂

@fromprusa

Thanks a lot Shane, that is really good news. 👍 

You may have seen that I am kind of a "power user" on prusaprinters.org, with over 50 own designs already published, many of them with significant complexity. But I also value and enjoy the great work of others, and currently it is really difficult to keep my collections tidy if I have to stuff everything into 9 collections.

I am looking forward to see this feature implemented. (Rest assured that I will continue to be active on pursaprinters basically every day 😉

Have fun, take care and stay healthy!

Herbert

Looks like you can now add more than 9 (or 10) collections to your account now.

@reb

Indeed, it is working. I will note I noticed a bit of a strange behavior. I created a test collection to confirm, and when I opened it, it was full of random prints as if I was just in the browse page. I added one of them, then after navigating elsewhere and coming back it displayed correctly as only having that one print. Maybe intentional?

Wonder what the reason for the limit is?

It's maxing out at 21 for me (12 public & 9 private).

I'm definitely curious why there's a limit.

weird, I just saw this reply and went to test again. I had 20. added 1, got 21 and create new button went away. Deleted the test one, and then button came back - so I seem to be capped at 20

actually, because you mentioned being capped at 10, I wondered if maybe they had made further changes and I was accidentally grandfathered in or something, but no, I deleted down to 18 and got back up to 21. So I am capped at 21 basically

Is there any update on raising the limit?

Mine is also capped at 21 (20 public, 1 private). I hope the move towards printables.com also removes this limit shortly.

Almost everything on the prusa database is replicated from Thingiverse, Thangs and other similar websites. They offer far more functionality (e.g. 3d viewer you can use before download, integrated paramterised queries etc) and many more comments on those sites that tell you about non-manifold designs (that will fail printing) before you try it. This site has a lot of those models but doesnt have those extra benefits. Best bet is to avoid the prusa database and go to the source of files with better information, better functionality and more reliable models

@dontbuyprusa: we generally say: "you did it in slices" when too much is too much.

DISCLAIMER:

I am not and will never be an employee of Prusa Research unless they offer me 100K € gross per year. I have friends who built the printer starting from a wooden frame ... that says a lot.

1+1=10 - take a look at my disgusting and useless models

@same-old-shane, could you or someone else from Prusa let us know why the number of collection is limited to 20-21? Technical limitation? Cost? Are we (users) not using the collections the way Prusa intended users to / designed for?

e.g. I tend to have what could be considered 'standard' collections, like "bathroom". Was your intention to have users looking for bathroom related models to instead filter 3D models for "bathroom" and "liked by me"?

I feel, like others on this thread, limited by 20 collections for the organization of my collected models.
