Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I think what you're asking for (a big repository of pirated STLs) doesn't exist because it isn't really necessary or desirable.

1. There are a LOT of free models out there. Thingiverse, Printables, Thangs, etc. You really don't need to buy models if you don't want to.

2. Most of the owners of paid models are just random nerds, not the huge mega corporations that own movies and TV shows. And the printing community is very small and supportive, so the general sentiment is that if a model isn't free, it's probably worth paying for.

You can't find them on printables / thangs / thingiverse?

There's a lot of free models out there already, and most models are created by individual artists. I encourage you to skip your coffee for a day if there's a paid model you really want to use, as you are directly supporting members of the 3DP community, rather than some corporation.

Cults3d has a ton of free minis to print. You can get blender and kit bash as well.

Years ago Pirate Bay made a big deal about starting a 3D model repository, but it really didn't catch on. Too many places to get free models already. Granted there are some places you can buy really high detail models from movies and games (is gambody still around? Will I get a strike for mentioning gambody like I did on reddit?).

If you really want to torrent 3D models, I'll tell you what I tell everybody. qBittorrent has a very nice search function that, once set up properly, will hit a lot of public trackers straight from the interface. If you have a specific model in mind, give that a shot. Or just search for "3d model" or "STL" or whatever, and you'll get hits.

I don't know of any trackers, but there are Telegram groups/channels.

• STLworld
• STL Forest

AFAIK materialize.is is still active, but you need an invite, and I am not "in", as it were, though I would like to be.

Can someone tag me as well, if you know of any such site?

Cg peers?
