9 Alternatives to Thingiverse for 3D Printing Files

Some great news! Thingiverse looks like its back up and running properly. Pages are loading and Filters are working now
https://www.thingiverse.com/

Pinshape rapidly slides into 'suggestions' completely unrelated to 3D printing, and Cults3D appears, from its load page, to be unrecoverably infested by people who are convinced that the absolutely best way to make sure that their thumbnail image stands out from everyone else's is to make it a looping animated GIF, so that the page is a writhing mass of movement as a dozen or more thumbnails scream for your attention.

Thank you

Does anyone know of a repo w/o adult toys . It's really infuriating

2022 and still broken

I know of absolutely no feature of thingiverse that's not buggy or lagging. This site might be the greatest disaster in computer science history.

Bro I sub for the list at the start! And I stayed to the end for all the great info, thanks a bunch

its too emptey

its too emptey

Thingiverse its still my favorite site

Patreon = a handful of good and a mountain of crap.
So many won't even show you what they have until they get money. Seriously, whomwould give money to someone without knowing what you are going to be getting.
Some won't let you get stuff that was done in the past, only the unknown going forward. Seriously, how stupid is that? It's like saying, here is the stuff you may like, want or need, well you won't ever get that. You will only be able to have things we won't tell you about that may or may not be of any interest.
Then there are the ones that are now "complete". You only just heard about it. You can't buy their s models anywhere and you can't have them now because it's now closed. Genius. I can't even give them money if I wanted to for something that would essentially cost them nothing.
The last one... they let you get all the new stuff each month but old stuff, you pay separately. They made their money already via kickstarted but to get those same files now, pay 10X as much for them. Not because they now have a legitimate web site and business to run. No, it's because they have them on some duff platform with a "shop".
Seriously, this is some seriously cowboy stuff going on.

🔥👌👍

Thingiverse should die its a haven for thieves stealing peoples models. If i see the artist in the comments linking to their page with the original model I'll go there.

Good site to make your own

all of these are paid for alternatives to something that is free. doubt paid for will kill free. just sayin.

Thingiverse app doesn't work at all

THINGIVERSE the site that used to be good

Cults 3d has issue's with paid files

Great video

I’ve been trying to work with thingiverse for ages now.. they just delete my models without any notice.. pretty sick of it, I’m ready to shift to a new platform.

Gambody is excellent

Thanks for the video Uncle Jessy. Also wanted to mention GrabCAD

Great post... New subscriber!

What if you have files, but just want the damned thing printed? Any straight printing services to list? (I know, Google is my friend, but I wondered if you or your viewers had any experiences that you/they could relate/recommend)..

It looks like no one pointed out that you skip over CGTRADER from your list, so... when you said this was 9 sites you can get files from... actually it was only 8, but thankfully you put up the whole list of 9 in the beginning.

You are full of shit. I am sorry that you lack the ability to learn how to use the site.

Yeggi and Pinshape can be alternatives but prusa is more a sort of comunity and the others....lets say, shops,cause they mostly try to sell objects

Awesome, I’ve been looking for more Thingiverse alternatives. Thanks for putting this together for the community.

At the moment it doesn't thingivers is a mess. It doesn't show very much and it's slow on both firefox amd chrome.

hey uncle jessy, i hope you and your family are fine, you have not published a video since March 25, I hope that where you live the situation with the covid-19 is not bad, hope to seeing another video from you.

took away the 3d viewing feature. there are less files now on the web whenever i search.


edit: i recently discover grabcad so I don't know if this is a good site.

Thingiverse never worked well anyway.

Thanks for the vid! Search hardly works, half the ads are sleazy and like you said what happened to the filters! :S
Careful running other peoples G-code! prusa does try to scan it but I think your safer just slicing it yourself.

Such a pity this happened. Invested a lot of time in taking my designs to Thingiverse, but you're right, it's definitely broken. I'm still not able to find my designs, even if search for my name and explicitly the name of the design. I'll put my bets on PrusaPrinters this time.

Thingiverse gave me a virus and now I have to restart my computer. I know it’s thingiverse because it’s the only site I’ve been on since the outbreak. I also haven’t downloaded anything.

I have a pihole on my network so all the ads appear blank on their site. :)

I hate the new interface on thingiverse. Not sure why they changed it so drastically. Just give it little visual updates....clean. Simple. Not overhaul it and make it visually unappealing.

Spot on Jessy

Yeah Thingiverse AKA MakerBot AKA sellouts, Just another way that Bre Pettis let the opensource community down, seems to be a recurring theme with him. Bla blaa blaa MakerBot this blaa blaa blaa Thingiverse with always be free for the community Bla blaa blaa......., he just can't help himself lol
