sites to post laser files?
-
i know this isnt really the right place to post this but i cant find an active laser cutting community on here. if there is one please point me to it!
i made a laser cuttable version of something on thingiverse and went to post it as a remix but at some point thingiverse started requiring a 3d model file to post things? quite disappointing. i tried printables too and they have the same requirement. does anyone know if theres a "thingiverse for laser cutting"?
Since it just a remix, can't you put original 3mf/stl file and add your version to the download section?
If that's work, just add to 3d model file title "by xxx" To give credit to original designer so they are no confusion between your files and the original designer. -
Does Manyfold support SVGs/etc? It seems awesome but it might be self-host only, not sure there are any public instances.
-
@sixleaf what format are the files in? We’ll happily add support for it, and we’re about to launch a public federated instance you can use for hosting…
these files are SVG but DXF is also a common format. would love to help test things!

Makerworld? Bambu recently released their laser / 3D printer hybrid. Though I have no idea whether they require the files to be doable on their printer.
im finding recent uploads with just svgs and no, uh, "print profiles" so i think thats a yes. kinda sucks though, i somewhat despise bambu and really dont want to use their site.

perfect! would absolutely be down to help test things and possibly contribute if i find the time :3

I think thingiverse allows SVG or DXF files to be uploaded.

They're more project focussed but you could consider https://hackster.io/ or https://hackaday.io/.
Maybe consider cross posting this question to an open hardware community? Such as [email protected]
(And ping me if you find one, I'm collecting open hardware websites)

Whoaa public instance! That's AMAZING, will definitely be there!

Grabcad?
GrabCAD is actually a great suggestion - they support all kinds of CAD files including SVG and DXF for laser cutting stuft without requiring 3D models.

they allow it but they now also require a model file to be included too. they didnt used to require this.
