My account and posts from my previous tomato cube mold designs from Printables got taken down (probably VPN and/or Linux usage). Nevertheless, I found a better platform on Thangs.com. The search is much better and it searches other platforms as well as its own website.
I have linked my new and improved uploads with even tighter tolerances below for you guys to download. V.3 introduces a completely cube interior with none of that angled walls v.2 had.

Be sure you read the whole Thangs user agreement. I have a Prusa. I don’t use any of the 3d files sharing social sites. They are all data mining. Printables is heavily integrated with Google; Thingiverse is Fastly, Thangs is a whole different beast. They are directly monetizing through the content you upload combined with AI to build tools and libraries. If I want to share my work, and it is something worth sharing, I’ll post on github. Microsoft has its issues but it is not optimised for this kind of content. In fact, uploading stuff that is not code is making actual code a tiny bit harder for them to exploit. My way, is not the right way, or for everyone. Life is never simply black and white. I’m only advocating awareness and informed decisions.
Interesting, I was not aware of this. I kind of got the point that they’re doing some AI stuff just by interacting with the site but didn’t think too much of it. I would definitely upload on github if it was easily searchable similarly to thingiverse, printables, or a similar site. If only there was a better alternative that isn’t exploitive. I’ll consider uploading on github if I get banned on this one and there are no decent alternatives.
Edit: if you’re concerned about github being owned by Microsoft you might like Codeberg and alternatives similar to it.
