That 3D model collection sounds fascinating. I've been collecting various STL files for years and the quality variation between different creators can be massive. Finding models that are actually optimized for printing rather than just looking good on screen is the real challenge. The best collections I've found are usually from specialized marketplaces rather than general 3D model sites. For gaming and pop culture models specifically, stl models have become my go-to resource because their files are pre-supported and thoroughly tested. This attention to detail in their 3D printing files makes the actual printing process so much more reliable and enjoyable. Building a quality library of printable models is just as important as having good printing equipment.
