Mallyable – a new place to buy models for 3D printing December 8
Buy-and-print with a hobbyist focus
Mallyable is a new online store for buying 3D models with a twist: the products are designed specifically for 3D printing on a hobbyist device. The site has several different categories of objects, generally with an eye towards decoration (holiday-themed ornaments) or usability (drink coasters).
I tried out the service by buying an owl figurine. The model was sent as a download link via email, and it came in 45mm and 90mm sizes. Here’s the render from the product page:
And the 45mm version printed on my MakerBot:
It’ll be interesting to see how the range of models expands as the site grows. I’d like to see more stuff on the usable side, like replacement battery covers and household doohickeys.
