Every year at 3Dnatives, we search through our selection of our favorite 3D models published online in the past year. This year, the level of STL file designs stepped up a level in comparison with previous years. These models are becoming more precise, and more optimized for 3D printing.
Therefore, we made our list of the best 3D files and 3D models published in 2017. These include STL files of famous people, replicas of vehicles and even 3D printable parts to combine with other gadgets. This Top 10 was made through STL files found on Cults’ website. We have included links to download all of the STL files in our list, so don’t hesitate to download any of these 3D models for free! In addition, we have included some links to videos showing these models being created.
10. The “Why Not?” Lamp
This beautiful creation is the work of 3D artist DukeDoks. This stunning sign somewhat resembles a graffiti style, and you can easily insert LED lights inside it. This 3D model therefore gives any room a contemporary decoration inspired by street art. If you want to see the creative process, check out the sign being made in this YouTube video.
