Sometimes you don't want to design something yourself and just build someone else's design. There are several platforms which share designs for free, and others which require paying a fee for each design.
For the file types we have covered already, you may also find links to a few repositories in their FormatInfoBox.
Free Designs
- Thingiverse (owned by Makerbot)
- probably the most popular platform for 3D printing
- after Thingiverse was bought by Makerbot, many designers left this platform
- Instructables (owned by Autodesk)
- often including detailed help with the tools involved
- YouMagine (owned by Ultimaker)
- OBRARY (Open liBRARY of product designs)
- mostly CNC router and laser cutter designs
- Inventables|Projects
- CNC router designs (to show off this manufacturer's machines and software)
- often including the steps to make something, but not always freely downloadable
- Github
- spread around many individual repositories
- we are collecting our own 2D designs and 3D designs
