I’ve been on Thingiverse for about ten years, and it has served me well. More recently however, there have been a series of problems and other, more developed options have become available. In this video, I explain why I’ve switched my online designs to Printables by Prusa and take you through its advantages and how to use it. This includes easily migrating all of your Things from Thingiverse.
printables.com
As is stated in the video, this is not a suggested or sponsored video from Prusa. I have no direct involvement with them except as a paying customer. I have chosen Printables because I feel it’s the best current 3D file sharing solution.
Thanks again to my patrons for their assistance in creating multiple aspects of this video.
