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?

I find their site loads slow though after browsing for a while. Just clear cache.

It's been like that for years.

I do think they have pretty high quality $$ models.

I mostly use free ones.

Makerworld has best free quality models. This is because creators are highly incentivised to post free models.

That's where I post mine. Earn points. Buy printers and filament with it.

I've so far earned 3 printers and 2 ams sets. From my hobby models. Not too shabby.
