  • How can I improve the sound?
    Since I don't live in the forest, the instrument's high volume was always a big problem, it came with a bundle of standard wooden reeds (2.5). I did some research and found that with a softer and thinner reed you need less air to create the vibration and therefore can play at a lower volume. I found “full range alto saxophone reed” on thingiverse.com and printed a (1.5) reed with PETG. It really worked, the volume... Source: 4 months ago
  • Ender 3 printer for my 13 yr old?
    There are millions of free designs on printables.com and thingiverse.com and other sites. There is certainly no need to buy models. Commercial models do exist but they are usually highly elaborate decorative pieces. Source: 5 months ago
  • How I made a cool T-Rex Carving - workflow
    I found a 3D model of a T-Rex on thingiverse.com that I liked. I used The T-Rex Skull by MakerBot - Thingiverse. This method lets you use any 3D model. Source: 8 months ago
  • How i keep my kaico from committing workn't
    This is the solution that worked for me. I found a bracket on thingiverse.com and printed it at work. Source: 9 months ago
  • Suddenly tech support for dad
    Then, head over to a site that hosts 3D print files like thingiverse.com or printables.com to download .STL files.You'll want something super simple at first, like a low poly model. Nothing complicated. Source: 10 months ago
  • Where are all the Electric Football STL's?
    I went to thingiverse.com and searched for "electric football". There are around 8 player models to print out (including QB, kicker, linesmen, etc.) and a bunch of add-on items like goal posts and bleachers. Source: 10 months ago
  • First build from scratch. Any tips or ideas for the vtx placement?
    Go to thingiverse.com. Search for 'whoop canopy'. Canopy's fit cameras by size not brand. Looks like a 10mm nano lens size. There are tons! I've even designed my own. Download the STL, find a 3D-printer in your area to print it. There are tons! Source: 10 months ago
  • I didn't use him for a couple of days and now he's become a gym bro and hates me :( can't get him to stop being angry lol what do you guys do to keep your flippers happy?
    You'd need to print it with TPU or a similarly flexible material, however I've seen a hard case version on thingiverse.com, I'd suggest looking there or other similar websites for something that would suit your needs! Source: 10 months ago
  • LTT bits storage
    Printables.com, thingiverse.com, thangs.com are probably your best bet. Source: 10 months ago
  • wifi sync
    Concept sells a phone holder. I 3D printed one off http://printables.com or http://thingiverse.com. Maybe I don’t row that much, but it seems a long time between replacing the batteries (two Ds?). Source: 11 months ago
  • Send Help
    You can download models from sites like thingiverse.com or printables.com. Source: 11 months ago
  • My Afnan 9PM bottle fell down and the neck broke... So I 3D printed a logo for a generic refillable bottle (yeah, the "9" is not perfectly level, but whatever 😅)
    Literally anything, from things I personally designed to designs shared by others over the web... Have a look at thingiverse.com to get an idea of what hobbyists are printing :). Source: 11 months ago
  • 3D Printing Newbie!
    I prefer printables.com and use thingiverse.com also. In both cases when you land on their page search for either "Bambu" or "X1C" and you'll see lots of prints specific to the X1C. I will Google for prints as well. Source: 11 months ago
  • Can’t fix this smokestack issue
    What I meant by better cooling was that you can strap on an additional fan, just print something from thingiverse.com for a fan shroud. You will be able to increase print speed with better cooling. Source: 11 months ago
  • 2nd Update - 1 Week in the Tower
    If you do a search at thingiverse.com and Printables.com using tower, hydroponic and tower, hydroponics as you search terms you should find all of the above. Their's might be this one. thingiverse.com/thing:5850756. Source: 12 months ago
  • Has any tried using ChatGPT to create executables for 3D printers?
    Instead, I would recommend going to a site like thingiverse.com and seeing if they have models that would fit your needs. Source: 12 months ago
  • Luggage strap buckle for Molle web backpack
    I looked through printables.com and thingiverse.com and still didn't find exactly what I was looking for (molle clip on one side and a 1"/25mm strap buckle on the other), so I designed my own -- will post it shortly. Source: 12 months ago
  • Simple Sewing Questions Thread, April 30 - May 06, 2023
    If you have access to a 3D printer, you might look at thingiverse.com for printable accessories. I've also had specialty parts machined by a friend if you know a metal worker. I'd even try a piece of plastic with a hole for the needle all taped into place. Source: 12 months ago
  • Looking for a large pack of player characters minis
    This guy on thingiverse.com has posted several packs of PCs along with a bunch of singles in the same style. Source: 12 months ago
  • Customer Service
    They keys are generic, you can use the key from your other battery. "not much of a key". They also won't sell a mounting plate. There are models on thingiverse dot com for 3D models, but I just bought a 3rd party battery from biggamebikes dot com. I also got their multi battery DATEX device. WAY COOL system. Source: 12 months ago
  • Hobbies?
    The culture of hobby 3D printing is much more open and sharing. https://thingiverse.com and https://printables.com have thousands of designs one can download for free, designs easy to modify with free software, and even the hardware manufacturers of the 3D printers put up their bill of materials, designs, assembly instructions, and firmware on the web for free. (there are paid sites, aimed mostly at 3D models... Source: 12 months ago

Top 10 3D Model Databases: The Best Sites to Download 3D Models for 3D Printing
Thingiverse is probably one of the biggest and most popular databases. It has a very active maker community behind it and offers free-to-use STL files only. You don’t even need to open an account in order to download a 3D model from their site. Sometimes the database can seem slightly less organized than the cleaner and simpler design of sites like Pinshape and Cults.
