Printables is celebrating its anniversary, and we’re running a huge sale to mark the occasion! All participating creators are having a store-wide sale (30% off on all items), so head over to Printables to find all the awesome discounted models, or keep reading to learn more. The sale runs until the end of May 2025!
On April 23rd, 2019, we launched a new website that would later become Printables. Back then, it was called PrusaPrinters.org, and it arrived at a time when large model databases were slow and lacked frequent updates.
The original design of PrusaPrinters.org
PrusaPrinters was fast and fresh, and brought new features – some of them maybe a bit ahead of their time? Like the possibility to share G-Codes! Instead of going through the slicing process, you would simply download a ready-made print file. Needless to say, users weren’t too keen on that idea. 🙂 So, instead, we’ve brought a significant new addition – EasyPrint, a cloud-based slicer that works even on your phone. It’s leaving the closed beta next week, so keep an eye out for it!
Back to Printables, though! Over the years, we have massively expanded the website’s features and also range of supported printers to give you better access to thousands upon thousands of free models. It was clear that the library and the audience reached far beyond the scope of just Prusa 3D printers, so it made sense to rename PrusaPrinters to Printables. Thanks to all of you, the library keeps growing fast and we’re expecting to hit one million uploaded files in about two weeks!
And it’s not just free models: to support skilled, passionate creators, we also added the possibility to sell high-quality 3D files. With so many awesome designs now available, we feel it’s a great time to give them a proper visibility boost with the Anniversary Sale.
All creators can now see a banner informing them they are eligible to participate in the sale. In Settings, simply set up a store-wide sale of 30% (this is the only available option to make things simple and transparent), and once you do, your models will be featured in a dedicated section of the web, so users can browse them easily.
We have partnered with several top-level designers ahead of time, so their models all already featured – this includes awesome works by Wekster, 3Demon, MODERN MACHINE, Heart Labs, Charles Regaud, FilliFuu, McGybeer, and 3D Printer World, and many others will certainly join!
To see all the models, head to Printables.com and click the button in the main banner or simply click here.
Happy printing!
