Printables won. I will upload my files and link them here. ~~I shouldn't create another post since nobody likes spam.~~ (sigh... What am I doing with my life?)
I'll leave the original body here. Thanks for your help. /-- Hello.
I have a handfull of 3D parts designed when I was in high school. These range from a custom computer anchor K-Lock (Shown here) to a plant monitor.
Unfortunetly, I graduated and don't have a 3D printer anymore, as I use and test on my old school's printer.
Fortunetly, I still have all of my work and I want to share it in a way that anyone can use, under a CC-BY-SA license.
What is a good way to share my work? Github, Drive, Gitlab, here?
I still like 3D printing, so I plan on getting one soon (albeit, it will take years..).
Thanks!
Dont use thingiverse. it is a dying unmaintained platform.
Then what platform is better?
Printables?
yes
Yes.
It even has an award system that gives “meters”. Meaning if your models are very popular you could get printer for free.. or at least few spools/merch.
Edit: forgot the contest as well. Prizes are always good and on some big ones you could win a printer as well.
Thinking you might get a good change for both given you are clearly making good models, even if you cannot test them yet.
Thingiverse has a better (maybe just bigger) library but Printables has a better interface. I use both and think it always nice to host source files on GitHub.
I see after ultimaker acquired MakerBot, it's slowly improving
Once it gets better, I may try it.
It's being heavily worked on since ultimaker bought it.
I prefer it to printables now, since prusa sold out and started allowing proprietary designs.
