Where to look for 3D printing models in 2022
It is not always necessary to create a 3D model, because thanks to the growing popularity of 3D printing, there are already many universal models available for download. If the author has decided to publish them, they can usually be found on several servers. We have compiled a list of key servers where you can download 3D models for printing for free or for a fee.
Websites with 3D models for download can be divided into several categories:
- Repository/community site - find free 3D models here
- Marketplace - 3D models paid, but also free
