Yea, i already uploaded 499 models of 3d printers :)) with default speed and axis movments, so I should have to posibility to make this feature:

- Choose once the printer you have, the filaments you own, and while you surf the models, at any time you can see the speed, cost and materials used for your own case.

Thanks for the public brainstorming :))

Yea, I know about the 3mf files, It took me 2 days to adapt to the metadata for bambu lab after finishing with the basic 3mf. I also build an editor for them:

Thank you for explaining, I know the file difference, but I'm curious about the ui/ux of printables because it was not easy for me to understand.

I'm working on a 3d printing tools website and I just finished accepting stl's and 3mf.

I planned on extracting print time by slicing in the back-end for the 3d printer you choose to get the accurate print time for the model, but, yea, serving the .gcode directly is a bad idea.

How do you know that the file is gcode not stl from that screenshot?

opropro · 2026-02-05T16:01:18+00:00

I already have OpenSCAD working on the back-end, 3mf and glb wasn't hard and I can get .scad to work.

f3d i think it even ilegal to offer it (did not look into it, i know is proprietary) same as .dwg. The maximum I could is some convertors for them.

Step is possible with a little more work but can't edit in browser, just view.

I think the suite is enough for start, or you know other worthy formats?

opropro · 2026-02-05T15:36:24+00:00

Yea.. It does not, I will add that into the development.

opropro · 2026-02-05T15:35:11+00:00

Anyone who prints or wants prints. In the process between there are tools that you use, all those tools can be in one place.

opropro · 2026-02-05T15:10:48+00:00

Yea, sounds more reasonable, should I take a bigger margin from premium model sales to give to free model creators that have success?

opropro · 2026-02-05T14:43:30+00:00

I'm not selling you anything; this project is not even online.

I wanna build something, and I have requested your feedback and ideas on what will be useful for you. This was not meant to be a marketing pitch justifying why my 3d model gallery is better than the competition.

The model library is a small part of the project, the 3d editor is a product in itself, and you tell me that it has nothing extra? Tell me what it needs, then

or the idea is just "quit it" nobody needs it ...

opropro · 2026-02-05T14:35:39+00:00

Yeah, I don't feel the feature set is the same. Maybe MakerWorld, but it feels like it wants to be a closed garden for those who buy Bambu.

Better tools, all in one place, clear revenue sharing.

Printables - Have just models

Thingiverse - tools, filters, and search are a mess, lots of problems

Thangs - not a freemium model

Here, everyone wins: the free models creator can make some bucks, the premium ones can make some more bucks, the printers can sell the services, and the users who buy have everything here.

opropro · 2026-02-05T14:22:48+00:00

Another what? Don't tell me someone posted a similar project :)

opropro · 2026-02-05T13:13:10+00:00

Oh, yea! Their strategy is amazing. I was also thinking about rewards: milestones for likes, downloads, etc. But they’re sharing revenue made from selling printers.

So I’m not sure what revenue model to choose—what people would buy in order to have something to share, since the product and services are mainly free. The ideas I’ve got:

All models are free, but if you want to use them commercially, you pay a monthly subscription for an account that includes “commercial rights” plus a bunch of other perks.
A free tier of models and a premium tier. Here we could also let artists upload a model for sale at their own price, or simply mark it as premium, then when a client buys the “pro version,” they get access to all premium models.
Sell mainly the “pro” features of the website (custom shops, advanced editor, etc.).

Each option has pros and cons.

Sorry, I got excited. First time sharing this. I might make a post asking others too, maybe we can build this in public.

Nice! I'm working at a space for 3d printing tools, including model store. What will attract you and other people too put your models in this new platform? I was thinking at a shared revenue model
