Why is this closed as duplicate of literally the opposite?

@SF. - If you feel that it should be reopened then please flag it as such (or vote to reopen). I closed it as the answers to the other question *seemed* to address the NC - (and therefore) the C aspect of this question. I could be incorrect though :-)

@SF and Chee - It appears that I incorrectly closed the question as a duplicate, and that [Trish's answer](https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/a/7790/4762) *doesn't* adequately cover the commercial aspect of *this* question. I've reopened it. Apologies to all.

Yes, you can - but the license requires you provide the correct attribution and distribute your prints under the same license - and that does specifically include allowing creation of derivative works and remixes.

Probably the best approach would be to provide a label that identifies you (the author of the derivative), the original author of the model, and a link to the 3D model (your version if you modify the original project; author's if you print as-is) alongside with Creative Commons license tag and [link to the license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en).

Make the label also available alongside any sales listing (a photo of the print is still a derivative work of it!).
