Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

MyMiniFactory is a well-established, market-leading platform in the 3D printing space with significant real-world utility and verified large-scale reach (millions of monthly visitors). However, the specific project submission provided was of extremely low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and lacking technical detail. The score reflects the platform's undeniable success and market position, heavily penalized by the low quality of the response evidence.
