Page History

There are many site sites out there that have where you can download models that people have designed and shared. Many times even for what would seem to be a custom need that you have, someone has already designed it. Start off with these sites and then later you can get into designing your own creations.www.thingiverse.com - ThingiVerse    Some are free, some paid, and some are a mix.

If you have a favorite site not listed here, please post in the #3DPrinting Slack channel.

https://cults3d.com/en - Cults 3D checks the models for printability and sorts them into categories.

https://pinshape.com/ - Pinshape has both free and paid models, so be careful which you fall in love with.

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/ - 3D Warehouse is the gallery for Sketchup created designs.

https://www.cgtrader.com/ - CGTrader is a printable model database, but most come at a cost. Many jewelry items here.

https://www.ameede.net/ - Found a new one. It has sections for 3D Models and for CNC/Laser files.

https://grabcad.com/ - Nice engineering models, but not necessarily focused on printing. These you may have to modify in a CAD package before printing.

http://www.turbosquid.com/ - Turbo Squid. Last resort site. All models are paid and there is no way to sort by printable items.
