Comment on Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse?

There are plenty of proposal of features social web community, handled W3C organization, such as easier way to find content (if the instance want it to be public.)
There’s definitely a value of community being able toset up instance of their own 3D pirinting models.

Yes, because everything needs to be a social web. Fuck off with that nonsense. Sometimes a database just needs to be a database. The last thing we need is more echo chambers in every damn hobby.

There are always needs for self-hosting for everything.
I can see some education institution set up their 3D model instance, and make it federated with other entities.
The problem is content discovery, right? As I said before, people are working to fix that right now.
Social web is basically similar to early internet, where discovering new things is hard.

Yeah, I don’t need to make friends to find stl files. A database with a lookup function will do fine.
