An early twist in 2026’s game of bingo as Thingiverse finally severs all ties from MakerBot (currently a part of UltiMaker) and joins London-based MyMiniFactory, in an acquisition that sees the model repository fold directly into the MMF business structure with senior leadership from the latter assuming control of the former.

Probably for the best. Ultimaker only reluctantly put resources into it. It was a sale or death. At least MMF has a business model that actually aligns with what Thingiverse does.
