Where do folks prefer to host their 3d models and designs? Do you use one site, or multiple?

I originally started on Thingiverse, but switched to Printables after it launched and that has been my main location for uploading to. I recently decided to copy all my models to Thingiverse and Thangs, in additional to Printables, but I’m not sure its worth the effort to maintain the listings on multiple sites.

I love the Printables site, I think it has the best user experience, but Thingiverse seems to reach a bigger audience. Thangs I find useful for the search, but I’m not sure its worth hosting models there as well.

    An alternative is posting on GitHub. It’s not as easy to search for models there, but you can put all your project files there in one place. STL, build log, docs, code for the devices it may use, PCB files… it also keeps a history of your files so you can back track to a previous file. Plus it’s free, ad free, and open source.
