That’s not what public domain means.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain “The public domain (PD) consists of all the creative work to which no exclusive intellectual property rights apply.”
It would mean that anyone could legally redistribute the .stl files meaning it would be effectively free. So yes, that is exactly what that means.

No, you can still sell things you made based on things in the public domain. Anyone can make things in the public domain and sell them. They just can't be stopped from selling or giving away for free because there are no exclusive rights to distribution.

Yeah mb i thought they meant sell the 3D model files, because even if you could theoretically sell those, nothing would prevent spreading them for free.
