Where do folks prefer to host their 3d models and designs? Do you use one site, or multiple?

I originally started on Thingiverse, but switched to Printables after it launched and that has been my main location for uploading to. I recently decided to copy all my models to Thingiverse and Thangs, in additional to Printables, but I’m not sure its worth the effort to maintain the listings on multiple sites.

I love the Printables site, I think it has the best user experience, but Thingiverse seems to reach a bigger audience. Thangs I find useful for the search, but I’m not sure its worth hosting models there as well.

      Now that’s an interesting idea - Lemmy3D, kbiniverse, FireFishables? Someone needs to start making this now!

        I wonder if you could just build it off of a mastodon service backend-wise where it just toots out links to the file download to everyone else.
