I wanted to share some fantastic resources I've come across that could be a huge help for anyone in the Reprapy community looking for free 3D models and textures. As 3D printing enthusiasts, we all know how valuable it is to find high-quality assets, especially when they're free to use. These resources can save us a ton of time and make our 3D printing projects even more enjoyable. Having a good library of free 3D assets really helps reduce the effort involved in bringing our ideas to life.
Here are a couple of sites I've been exploring:
● 3D Models and Free Textures Resource: https://www.relebook.com/
● 3D Models Search Engine: https://www.yeggi.com/

I work as 3d designer preparing figires and objects ready to print,
got knoledge in different type of materials. Have done manu different type of projects,
please take a look at some examples in my On-line dosier.

Kind Regards,
David

Thanks in advance,

Jordan

Dear friends,

we have finished developing one of our own software versions called “PointShape™ Inspector”, and wish to share this information with you.
PointShape™ Inspector is a Stand-alone software that can handle several hundred million points.
You can now simply install it to any regular spec computer without any other CAD program and it performs excellently for inspecting application.
PointShape Inspector is fully capable of importing all major CAD programs, raw data and therefore reducing manpower expenditure and cost with a simple workflow.
• Precise Quality Management Process
• CAD program Compatibility (Siemens NX, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER)
• Export Quality Management Report

The Key Features are as the following:
- Best Fit (Scan to CAD)
- Mesh Creation
- Mesh Edit
- Deviation : whole / section / point
- Native CAD Format Support
- CAD to Mesh
- 2D, 3DMeasurements
- 3D GD&T
- Report Creation : PDF, Excel

Tracing along surfaces manually would take too long, particularly when objects get complicated. I just want to create as many different surfaces as possible so I can delete very select surfaces. Is there a process for that?

But then I export and open in Repetier and resave there and it seems to merge the objects into one. Even when I simply load different object files into Repetier and overlap them and save from there it seems to merge them together despite them having nothing that should connect them. Is there a name for this process?

It is used to build very strong and durable parts which are stable dimensionally. It is actually made with full efficiency of the new 3d printing technology and one can also optimize any kind of designs through FDM 3d printing.

The issue is the legs, arms and other parts that have two are made just that way. An STL that contains the right and left. When I scale like the thighs to 210% they exceed my printers 210 by 210 by 300 envelope. So I want to split out just one thigh safe it and then simply mirror it when I want to print the other thigh. Is there any software that does this easily? Like just highlight the half to remove and doing so?

Tinker cad would allow you to put negative object over one leg and then group it essentially removing the part. Then save it as an STL with just one side. They however have an import limit of 25MB and some of these file are over 100MB before scaling.

So any suggestions would be helpful.

Not names of the various brands and manufacturers but tutorials, knowhow, techniques and comparison methods of use and application.

There is so much information out there that it is very hard to sort the wheat from the chaff. 
I'd be grateful for any URLs that forum members can suggest.
