Thingport

Your Personal 3D Model Library

Collect, organize, preview, and manage your 3D printing models from the places where you discover them.

Overview

For those engaged in 3D printing, discovering models across various platforms such as MakerWorld, Printables, and Thingiverse can become overwhelming. The collection of bookmarks, downloads, and miscellaneous files often leads to disorganization.

Thingport serves as a dedicated personal and self-hosted 3D model library. It consolidates models into a single, manageable space, allowing for easy organization and direct previews right in the browser. Streamlining the access and management of your 3D printing models simplifies the creative process and enhances productivity.

• Import from Model Websites: Seamlessly integrate models from supported platforms into your library.
• Search & Organize: Effortlessly locate models within your collection.
• 3D Previews: Inspect models directly in your browser without additional software.
• Model Archiving: Preserve local copies of your most valued models.
• Metadata & Previews: Store relevant information alongside files for quick reference.
