  • Found a beat up Cosmos 1000 in a charity shop, and turned it into my first home server build.
    I used grabcad to get the models for those - I'm definitely not that good at modelling myself yet. Source: 11 months ago
  • Best ways to learn Fusion?
    You can also go to grabcad.com and download some sample files and try to recreate them. Source: about 1 year ago
  • DIY Musgrave 9Para with Glock 17 magazine
    So I would like to share and discuss the idea with you - and further improve and simplify the model with your suggestions. The 3d model can be found in grabcad.com with "musgrave resurrection". Source: over 1 year ago
  • Does anyone knows where to get iPhone14 Pro max STL?
    You can try grabcad.com they tend to carry similar files for people to use. Phones, cameras, 3d printers, general machinery and the like. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Grandpa’s reaction to grandsons 3D printer
    Bro I got a 3d printer last week, literally never touched one before. I'm using Fusion 360 to model stuff, which is free for personal use, and there's a bunch of tutorials on Youtube. There's a huge library of 3d-printable stuff on https://grabcad.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • model request
    I don't have an xbox , but grabcad.com is a good resource and I've see xbox (not sure which) controllers modelled for years as tutorials etc.. So assumed it would be out there. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Converting SolidWorks Files to Open Source
    If you have an account at grabcad.com you can upload your SolidWorks files to a project in their "workbench", then download them as STEP files. This process can be slow but at least you don't need to have any software installed locally. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Help
    Try searching on https://grabcad.com/library ... Some of users share solidworks part file ... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Which CAD programs are most widely used and which are loved most by engineers in different fields?
    There are many problems in the world and many ideas for solutions. The gap between the two is immense and we may run out of time before we run out of problems. I believe we can avoid that by empowering as many as possible to implement their ideas easily and fast, only to be verified by experts at the tail end. If you imagine an asset browser with previous designs, like grabcad.com, this can grow exponentially.... Source: about 2 years ago
  • Fresh off the printer
    Https://grabcad.com/. Account is free, downloads are free. I would also recommend getting fusion 360 cad software (also free). I sliced this file with lychee. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Printing Help
    This is one example I'd like to see if I can nail down before moving on. Using the below STL file from grabcad.com I'm attempting to print a Bitcoin rendering. As you can see in the attached images the coin came out quite blurred. I'm using the UV Wavelength 405nm Elegoo resin on the Saturn S. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Looking to download BIM project files online
    Https://grabcad.com is the only one I know and they are all mostly shite. No-one will share a real project model as there confidentiality issues which would risk them losing their own job. Source: about 2 years ago
  • concept: single frame, multiple configurations
    Most of them are from grabcad.com, the radiator and AIO pump is from Alphacool's 3D download centre, and a few I make myself, although I don't use these models to design the frame because they are slowing me down, only use them for the render. For design I use basic primitives and points made from drawings that have accurate dimensions. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Since thingiverse has fallen apart, and now cults3D was exposed in this subreddit, what design sharing site should I move my files to now? It seems like a yearly thing at this point...
    I would look at https://grabcad.com/ and import the designs into freecad. I recommend freecad over fusion360 because it runs and stores designs locally. Last thing I want is to wake up to no internet and all my designs online, thats why I have owncloud setup on raspberry at home. When you import into freecad, you can edit and modify the designs then export them to stl ready for importing into your slicer. Source: over 2 years ago

  • How to "import" Autodesk Fusion 360 files (f3c)
    It might be possible to use another program/service to convert your F360 files. I seem to remember that grabcad.com can do some conversions. Whether that will actually work, I'm not sure. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Where to find car dimensions?
    You can buy car models on sites like https://hum3d.com/If you don't want to buy them, you'll have to search cad sites like grabcad, yeggi, https://www.cadnav.com/ (there are many others). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Where do you get reference cad models?
    I've had luck with grabcad.com, but for some stuff, I just can't find what I'm looking for there and their search isn't very good (e.g. "plier" key word doesn't find "pliers" etc.). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Where do you guys get free to use models?
    If you don't care about precise 3d models you can use sites like grabcad (most models made by hobbyists), if you just want something that looks good you can use sites like turbosquid (a lot of free 3d models made by CGI artist, you wont find solidworkd files, just STL, obj and so).

Top 10 3D Model Databases: The Best Sites to Download 3D Models for 3D Printing
GrabCAD is different than the databases we have looked at so far. Firstly, GrabCad provides you with technical, engineering, and scale models only. Secondly, it lets you filter its database based on the 3D modeling software that the designs were created in. It’s the place to be for anyone looking for more than 27,000 technical 3D files. However, take into account that this website is not intended for 3D printing.
