3D printing
Cults3D is a website for the hosting of files used in 3D printing. An account by the name of cwcvilleguardian (matching Chris's username for YouTube) joined and downloaded files of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Transformers, and the Sonic Totem.[1] cwcvilleguardian has also earned badges for downloading more than 50 files and purchasing 10 as of April 2024.[2]
Plagiarism controversy
On 15 January 2024, cwcvilleguardian purchased a file of the Sonic Totem. The file had been created by user HiImDrue a year prior "as a joke"[3] and listed for $0.62 with a "don't buy" disclaimer.[4] Five days later, OfficialCWCmart began selling Sonic Totem figurines based on the file design.[5]
HiImDrue, also known on Reddit as druehmp, created a thread in r/ChrisChanSonichu to complain about Chris profiting off the Sonic Totem file.[3]
