Rates last checked: November 2026. Boosts are worth 12 points (15 on Exclusive models), per the MakerWorld FAQ. MakerWorld stopped publishing its download and print formula in June 2025, so download and print points are an estimate. Gift card rate (490 points = $40) is community-reported. Prices are Bambu Lab US store list prices, before sales.
The MakerWorld Points Calculator is a revolutionary tool designed to help you estimate the approximate number of points your MakerWorld models earn. By simply inputting key details like boosts, downloads, and prints, you can easily understand your model's earning potential and the incentive portion of the point system. Points matter! In the Bambu Lab Point Shop, you can redeem 490 points for a $40 gift card, with each point valued at $0.08. The calculator tells you approximately how many points a model has made the designer and how much money that is in gift cards! We recently launched an infill digital pamphlet for anyone wanting to know a lot more about infill, you can buy it here: Infill Guide.

How MakerWorld points work
MakerWorld pays designers in points for downloads, prints and boosts. A boost is worth 12 points (15 on an Exclusive model), which is the one fixed number MakerWorld publishes. Downloads and prints earn points on a sliding scale, and a print counts as two downloads. MakerWorld stopped publishing that scale in June 2025, so this calculator uses the last published table, and its download numbers are an estimate.
Points turn into money two ways: Bambu Lab gift cards in the points shop (creators report 490 points for a $40 card, about $0.08 a point), or cash for Exclusive Model points at $0.066 a point once you have $100 worth.
