Re: STL File Sharing


 

I don't get it. I put files on Thingiverse. STL's are resizable. I usually put "S Scale" in the title or description so S Scalers can find it. If some O Scaler wants to scale it up and use it, fine.
?
As an example, I created a drawing for a fuel tank for the AM GP-35. You can search Thingiverse for "GP-35 Fuel Tank" and it shows up. In case you are not familiar with Thingiverse: When the main image shows up, you can click on a 3D button, and then rotate the view to see the part from any angle. I don't think Peter is going to replicate that. If some O scaler or (God forbid) some HO scaler wants a GP-35 tank drawing, he or she is not going to find it on the NASG website.
?
Realize, too, that lots of models have multiple stl's. My "S Scale passenger car detail parts" has 15 stl files (so far), photos of completed assemblies using them, etc. That would be a big job to replicate.

I would think at the most, Peter could create an index to files that were stored in repositories. Then it is totally up to the author to mange the access.
