Four researchers from Germany decided to explore the online design platform Thingiverse and determine just where all of the designs came from, and recently published a scientific article about what they discovered under a Creative Commons license, so anyone can read and use its contents.. They investigated how Thingiverse users are able to reuse existing designs to make new ones - this is known in the 3D printing community as remixing. The researchers investigated four different aspects of the remixing practice, in order to form a set of "theoretical propositions and managerial implications."

But I've done a few I guess.
Put more original designs up than remixes.
Wouldn't have put it as vitally important though. But hey, that's what academics are for :-)
