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?


Pretty much all the functional models I use are free. I get them from https://www.printables.com/ https://makerworld.com/ https://www.thingiverse.com/ https://thangs.com/ or I design them myself. Back when I was on Mac I would use Fusion but lately I’ve been 100% Linux so I’ve been using FreeCAD and it’s way better since v1.0.
As far as paid models, it’s mostly been things from https://www.myminifactory.com/ and generally sculpts because I want to support authors. Sometimes it’s through patreon but they usually send myminifactory links to redeem.
But yeah, get yourself a pair of calipers and learn a CAD program.
