Like where is a good place to buy stl files online, so far ive only printed free files but i think i want to try those neat paid ones, im just not sure where to buy stl files from?

I mostly like useful prints like tools or anything that can help in day to day living.

What site would you suggest i checkout and why so?

  • Export them as STL
  • Import STL in Blender
  • Add decorative elements there in Sculpt Mode.
  • Profit
