Good STL/3D model archival software? (lemm.ee)

I've collected quite a number of STL files for 3D printing, and realized I need some better way to catalogue them, because the default Windows explorer is starting to become burdensome. I'm looking for something that:

Shows a 3D preview I can rotate around to see the model
Allows me to sort into folders
Allows tagging with keywords for later searching
Snappy search

Maybe Windows already does this and I'm just not seeing it, but I feel like my collection is at the point where I need something dedicated, similar to a photo cataloguing tool (e.g. Google Photos) or a reference manager (e.g. Zotero/Mendeley).

Any good FOSS tool that does something like this? Or a generic "better file explorer"?

It also runs like crap, even on decent hardware. I don't get why people love it so much....
