Printables won. I will upload my files and link them here. I shouldn’t create another post since nobody likes spam. (sigh… What am I doing with my life?)

I’ll leave the original body here. Thanks for your help. /– Hello.

I have a handfull of 3D parts designed when I was in high school. These range from a custom computer anchor K-Lock (Shown here) to a plant monitor.

Unfortunetly, I graduated and don’t have a 3D printer anymore, as I use and test on my old school’s printer.

Fortunetly, I still have all of my work and I want to share it in a way that anyone can use, under a CC-BY-SA license.

What is a good way to share my work? Github, Drive, Gitlab, here?

I still like 3D printing, so I plan on getting one soon (albeit, it will take years…).

Thanks!

    Lots of people post STLs because you can feed them directly to the slicer for printing. But it only represents the surface mesh of an object, and only as polygons. A STEP file basically captures how the part is designed in CAD, so it’s much better if you need to modify the part. It also gives you the original form of things like curves, where the STL would be quantized into a fixed number of polygons.

      I’ll go with STEP.

      Thanks.

        Sure. You can always include both as well. Folks who don’t have CAD software may not be able to use the STEP files.
