Hello!
CGTrader is one of the top repositories of models for 3D printing. However, finding a model is only half the battle of getting to a final product. Even if you're just printing something casually, downloading the model and loading it into the slicer where you are confronted with dozens of settings is a daunting process. If you're a newer 3D printer, you probably stumble through the slicer, and it takes significant time just to set up one model for slicing. If this is you, you might be interested in the Autoprint One.
Autoprint One is a new product designed to simplify 3D printing to the point where anyone can start a print in just a few seconds. It is a Plug-and-Print system that connects to your 3D printer and handles all the complexity of slicing. You don’t even need a slicer on your computer, just the Autoprint browser extension. Simply right click on an STL download link here on CGTrader or elsewhere, hit the Autoprint option, and check or change a handful of settings. Alternatively, you can upload an STL or pre-sliced file from your computer. Autoprint will slice and print your model. It only takes a few seconds to start your model printing, instead of several minutes like traditional slicers. This saves you valuable time over several prints.
Autoprint One is currently running on Kickstarter: https://autoprint.xyz/kickstarter (redirect) if you would like to check it out.
