Hello, who do you guys get your files from? Im trying to find some cool designs and someone who drops files pretty frequently to make it worth using printer space, let me know what you guys think! Thanks

    If I don’t design them myself, I get them from Printables.com.
    Students come to me with models from Makerworld, and those are, more often than not, terribly optimized for 3D printing.

      I’m open to anything but hopefully looking for unique designs, and I’m really just trying to build my collection right now, but most of the people im subsrciped to have similar designs.

        People who design 3D prints chase whatever is popular and pays. So all payed models tend to look alike. IMO those are people to totally ignore.

        To find the new and unique you need to sort through a lot of chaff to find the seeds.
