Thingiverse is an online platform dedicated to 3D printing, providing a vast collection of 3D print files in the widely used STL format. It stands out from other websites for 3D print files due to ...

3D printing can be a fun and productive hobby and skill, but there can be a lot of confusion around the files involved. Here are some you should know about.

STL files are everywhere. When there’s something to 3D print, it’s probably going to be an STL. Which, as long as the model is good just as it is, is no trouble at all. But sooner or later ...

What is an STL file? In layman’s terms, an STL file contains 3D meshes, geometry, and other related information and is used for 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and computer-aided manufacturing.

STL format is, by comparison, almost trivial to implement. This has in part contributed to the inertia keeping STL as the format making the 3D printing world go round. Want to try it out?

STL files "cut up" CAD models, giving the 3D printing machine the information it needs to print each layer of an object. How it works: SLA Unlike the desktop printer you use to print documents ...

Saruman pondering his orb, once the cover of a Middle-earth role-playing book and suddenly a potent and popular new meme, is now available as a free 3D print file. That means you can both ponder ...
