Best way if you want to get it out there to the 3D printing community is Printables or Thangs.

For whole, supported projects GitHub/GitLab is best with a page with pictures and a description and a link to the got repo on printables or thangs will make sure it is discoverable.

Do you think it would ve best to upload to thingiverse and git[hub/lab]? As I want the source parts avalible for modification and a stl/gtbl export for printing.

    Thingiverse has a better (maybe just bigger) library but Printables has a better interface. I use both and think it always nice to host source files on GitHub.

    I see after ultimaker acquired MakerBot, it’s slowly improving

    Once it gets better, I may try it.

    It’s being heavily worked on since ultimaker bought it.
    
    I prefer it to printables now, since prusa sold out and started allowing proprietary designs.

  If you, yourself are going to make modifications and want changed tracked and reversable, use github.
  
  If you just want to upload old projects that you have for other people to use and modify, use Printables.
  
  On Printables you can still upload the source files, photos, stl’s, STEP files, everything needed. It just isn’t a change-tracking and release managing system.
