Printables
Prusa Research’s free model repository, formerly PrusaPrinters. Its public API needs no account or key, so Printables works out of the box.
| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Sign-in | None |
| Thingport Grab | Optional — needed only for your private collections and your likes |
| FlareSolverr | Recommended — without it, imports fail whenever Cloudflare challenges the server |
| Imports | Models, public and private collections, your likes, synced collections |
What comes in
- Every file of the model, its photos, description, tags, category and author.
- Public collections, read with nothing.
- Your private collections and your likes. Printables shows these to you alone, so Thingport can’t read them on its own: with Thingport Grab in a browser where you’re signed in to Printables, Grab reads them while you’re on Printables, at most once an hour, and sends them on. Synced ones get new models after your next visit rather than on a schedule.
Setup
Nothing to connect: Printables shows as connected in Configuration → Providers for everyone.
Printables sits behind Cloudflare, which sometimes challenges servers. Set up FlareSolverr under Administration → Connections so those imports get through.
