    Find an awesome file somewhere that you feel deserves more attention?

    Did you print and assemble something you want to show off?

    Did you design something, and might want to get a bit more publicity, or perhaps looking for feedback?

    Got an idea for something you think would be cool?

    Looking to get a file printed? Or are you willing to print some files for people?

    Then this thread is for you! Amongst that mentioned above and more, this thread is for everyone to share finds, makes, designs, and thoughts on 3D printable transformers related files from across the web! They can be full figures, upgrades/replacements/accessories, transforming or non, free or paid, etc. So long as they can be 3D printed, they are acceptable here!

    If you are sharing a make, I would encourage that you link to where you got the files. If you know that the source has already been shared within the thread, then please at least quote the corresponding post.

    While not necessary, posting a short description of the object or an image from the object’s page (if you’re feeling generous) is encouraged as well, so that people aren’t clicking links blindly.

    If you are looking to share your own files, I would recommend you make a thread in the creative form first, then share the link here.

    To start, some sites to begin your search:

    And now for some personal finds to start us off.(You will find that many are currently empty at the time of posting. The library will be cleaned and updated as I find files, as they are shared, and I find the time to update and clean it.)

    Hmm ... I've done simple stuff on Shapeways over the past few years. I don't really put them up for sale.

    But, I might post some of the things I've done just show them off, I'll have to take some pictures ...

    Shouldn't this thread be in the creative section? If not, that's cool, but it just seems to me that these aren't actually 3P products unless there's, y'know, a product.

    I personally think that anything that can be produced and sold is an unlicensed 3rd party. And 3D printing is produced and reproduced on demand, so I think it can and should stay.

    Yeah, I don't get why injection moulding is a prerequisite for being "third party".

    just a suggestion that would be helpful. would it be possible for you to mark any section at the highest level as empty or something, so we don't have to click through and open/traverse it to figure that out? would save time from not needing to open empty sections as there's no way else to find that out until it's done.

    or perhaps do away with the "spoiler" tags altogether.

    Thanks for posting this list, I know how much work it takes to scour the sites, making a list, then sharing your work. Glad to hear that you're taking the comments in stride and making adjustments.

    Seriously though, thank you and I'll continue to watch this thread for designs.

    Good idea, but the whole categorization and spoiler system is WAY too complex. The only two categories you need are whole figures and accessories. Maybe another breakdown by series, but beyond that - way too many things to click just to find nothing.

    I made a (poorly designed) Emirate Xaaron.

    I will unleash it upon those who are willing for free.

    My MP scale one is 80% 3d printed, and the rest lego bits and official TF parts I had to use to fix him.

    That's difficult to say, as there are so many variables at play.
    Currently, I'm upgrading my printer, so I won't be of much help in the matter for a while. But, I can attempt to provide a breakdown of how ordering 3D printed stuff usually works.
    - As a common courtesy, if the file is for sale, you buy it, so as to support the creator.
    - You might have to pay for material for the person printing it if they haven't got the colors. Filament is relatively cheap, resin a bit more expensive. Can alleviate this by not specifying colors and allowing the maker to use what they have on hand, but that means it then has to be painted.
    - Time required, and number of parts. Simpler it is, the cheaper it'll likely be.
    - The condition can increase the price. The cheapest would be purely printed parts - not cleaned of support material. From that would be cleaned, and then the most expensive being assembled.
    - Then, obviously, shipping.
    If I had to give a rough - likely inadequate - estimation, at cheapest (You clean and assemble it), probably around the $100 range. it's a lot of parts, but luckily not too many colors. To have it printed, cleaned, and assembled, maybe around the $200 range. but, with every maker, it's different; this is but a rough guess. I would also encourage working out the details in PMs, as with many exchanges on the forums.

    I can understand that. I admit, what it have would probably work much better as it's own site - a proper library, where files can be tagged -, but I simply haven't got the know-how for creating such a thing. I figured this would work alright, as it allows you to narrow down your search so long as you know what you're after. Hopefully, the library shall be expanded as time moves on, and people share their finds and makes! I apologize for it being so empty and labyrinthine at the time of writing. I will be working to refine it in the coming times. Thank you for your input!

    EDIT: Having taken more time to consider the option, I've elected that the first post will keep the library, but, that as it is updated, the posts notifying what has been added will be split into accessories and figures, as you recommended. Similar files will be grouped together. Once again, thank you for your input!

    My custom 3D printed Emirate Xaaron fell off my shelf and (due to the nature of 3D plastic, I guess) broke in many places.

    So I had to fix him. I may just have another printed.

    Nice! Can't say I'm familiar with the character, but that's cool to see regardless! Especially the size, and how possible it appears to be. Well done!

    To do:
    - More organization
    - More files
    - Get in contact with board users to help promote their stuff?

    Question: What kind of files are you all more interested in? I ask so I can get a better focus. Currently, it's been mostly on replacement parts, as I figure that's what people would be after the most. But, would people be more interested in figures and statuettes instead?

    He appeared in the marvel comics, mostly in Britain. Thanks!

    So...If I wanted to get this (improved?) file out there for anyone who wanted to print it, how would I do that?
