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!

Do you think it would ve best to upload to thingiverse and git[hub/lab]? As I want the source parts avalible for modification and a stl/gtbl export for printing.

Dont use thingiverse. it is a dying unmaintained platform.

Printables?

Yes.

It even has an award system that gives “meters”. Meaning if your models are very popular you could get printer for free.. or at least few spools/merch.

Edit: forgot the contest as well. Prizes are always good and on some big ones you could win a printer as well.

Thinking you might get a good change for both given you are clearly making good models, even if you cannot test them yet.
