Thingaverse works and has an insanely massive database but I prefer the cleaner for modern interface of Printables and the code seems to be tighter. Stuff loads better, is easier to navigate, and the search actually remembers your spot. That was one big thingaverse pet peeve of mine.
Download the stl file from thingiverse not the zip file. Open bambu studio and either import the stl or drag and drop it. You are adding someone else's file to Maker World in your own name. All you do is downlead the .stl file and then in Bambu Studio import the file.
I went to Thingiverse today to answer a comment about one of my 'things'. Discovered I was logged out even though I had the 'remember me' box checked. No biggie, happens all the time. I clicked the 'sign up' button to get to the log in button. Again weird, but no biggie.
Better integration with 3dhubs or something like it for people that don't want or need a 3d printer. Monetize for creators that deserve at least to get a cup of coffee for their design. These would probably also be seen as "sucky" but good for growing the reach of 3D printing. 3. Reply.
Thingiverse was popular and has a lot of things, but it's quality is deteriorating ever since it was bought out by a rival and neglected. Printables is good... For now at least. If you're only going to post to one, post to printables. Search actually works, site is much faster, the 3D viewer is significantly better, etc.
It's a shame Thingiverse is dying but I'm glad to see any alternatives. And to be clear to all, any large groups that are influential in the community may make a request for a pin. I'm trying to facilitate community engagement more like that when I'm not too busy.
As others have already said thingverse is fine. On a more general note, STL files are pretty basic and printer agnostic. You must slice them for your printer so there is little risk of anything going horribly wrong from a tainted file.
I think active users have already done this. The problem is all he old content still locked away in Thingiverse. If everyone that uploaded models to Thingiverse re-uploaded their models to printables, we could forget thingiverse ever existed.
The only advantage would be sending the model to print directly from a slicer-deprived device, like a phone, to a prusa-connect / octoprint enabled device, and get it started printed in seconds without spending the few minutes to download it on your computer, slice it, save it on the USB, unplug the USB and bring it to the printer, then start it.
It seems Thingiverse has disabled 1 click downloading of items listed. So the 90 file storage system I've found, that has 90 parts, it's now a 10 minute ordeal to download instead of 1 click for a zipped file. So has anyone got any recommendations to alternative sites like Thingiverse?
