Design Resources

3D Printing

.stl or .obj

Thingiverse.com is the ultimate free 3D printing library, and most files are optimized for 3D printing. Thangs.com is a 3D print model search engine with both free and paid models and is another great resource for discovering 3D files.

To start creating your own designs or to modify a deign you found online, we recommend starting with Tinkercad, but Adobe Illustrator and Shapr3D are also good.

Vinyl Cutting
