I guess this is meant to be some kind of "shit post"? That's not really what this board is about though.
For anyone else who came across this strange post, I'd just like to remind you that if you have a 3d printer and want models to print, you can find millions of them for free on yobi3d, deviantart, sketchfab, blendswap, turbosquid, video game model ripping sites (themodelsresource) and of course make your own.

Contact the artist and ask them you'll pay for just stl file.

>everyone is allowed to post whatever the fuck they want
That doesn't make it any less of a shit post
>>550029
it really isn't about shitposts, no one gave a shit about the thread until you bumped it after two weeks to voice your liberal opinion
>>547846
Capitalism is great, isn't it? It poisons everything.
>>550029
everyone is allowed to post whatever they want, but it doesn't mean they should.
I would rather read 20 quality posts in a day than 500 shitposts.
I'd browse /v/ if I just wanted to see idiots smash their dick on the keyboard.

There would be no 3D printers without it

THIS! For fucks sake this!

You are a blind man buying videos.
You are deaf man buying CDs.
You are a quadruple amputee buying gloves and socks.
IF YOU CAN'T DESIGN 3D THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PAYING SOMEONE ELSE FOR SOMETHING YOU CAN'T DO.
This is the #1 most stupid thing about 3Dprinters. The ENTITLEMENT of the incapable who demand that the capable give them free stuff. This isn't socialism (in socialism you have no 3Dprinters, and no designers).
>>547999
I doubt the artist will sell the stl to a stranger. They'll probably think you're trying to make money off of their stuff.
>>547846
go to model on Shapeways, click the cube which is to see it in 3d, use ninjaripper, profit?
>>550050
Yes goy, make claims you cannot possibly prove without the ability to traverse alternate timelines, all to defend the jew.

Lol/10 kys
>>551159
you can pretty much buy 3D models everywhere.
or, you can ask someone to model for you
>BAHH BAHHH
>I WANT FREE STUFF !!!!
>I WANT YOUR STUFF!!! I WANT IT NOW !!!
>GIB PLS !!!!! NOW !!!
fuck yourself op, you commie piece of shit
Want models? Contact the artist and pay him for it, and be ready to pay what its worth and not some retailer pennies.
>>551172
Sure, and then you're stuck to what's online or rely on someone to do what you want, which will have cost money, time and several loops, and might not even be optimized for 3d printing in the end
So yeah, not the best money investment or fun hobby to pick if you don't model. The printing part itself is boring af, so your true hobby will be electronics for building the printer, or post processing the parts, unless you consider sitting still watching a machine work alone a hobby

3d printing is pretty popular nowdays
you can simply ask the artist to give you print ready model.
the guys that make the action figures (weta workshop,iHaze toys etc) know exactly what goes in a printed model
>>547846
Shapeways is not Thingiverse. The whole point of that website is to sell 3d prints, not share STLs freely.
