Printables Statistics vs Deleted Files
Apologies if this is in the wrong part of the forum. I'm curious what happens to a users statistics if they delete a published file on Printables?
For greater context, my most downloaded file is NSFW. I have recently convinced my day job to purchase a printer, and I will be designing multiple parts and tools to that end. Instead of creating separate accounts for work and personal, I figured I would share through my current account but delete my NSFW model. If I do that, will my stats lose the 400 or so downloads of that model?
RE: Printables Statistics vs Deleted Files
This is a good question, and I look forward to hearing an official answer. But in your situation I'd advise setting up a separate account for work. That way if you leave your current employer just hand over the password to the work account and you don't have to worry about them trying to claim your other models as their own.
Having the separation of accounts from the get-go will vastly simplify things if you have a separation with your employer later.

That's actually not a terrible idea. I hadn't considered them trying to claim my personal work. I'll likely go with separate accounts for that specific reason, but I'd still be curious to know what happens to our stats if a file is deleted.
Cheers

create a new account for work, really.
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

No need to apologize! If you delete a published file on Printables, your download stats for that specific file will be removed as well. However, your overall account stats, including other files, should remain unaffected. It’s a good idea to double-check with their support for the most accurate informatio
