Thingyverse is owned by Ultimaker, Printables by Prusa and makerworld belongs to bamboo. I don't really want to donate my models to a for profit company, so are there any similar community run alternatives where I can upload to? Cheers

why are you trying to change what I wrote? Its clearly there. I said none of that. You need to check yourself bro

OMG monetized their platform. Because they are a business. I suspect you have no knowledge of their platform or how they do business or where or the history of their founder.

Prusa being "for profit" isn't the same as the term implies.

Well then I misinterpreted what you mention by that statement, what do you mean by it, if it wasn't that they're not a "real" for-profit company?

No I have plenty experience and use printables a lot, it's a great platform. I've been in-and-out of the 3d printer environment since early 2010's, I perfectly well know their history and what they once were.
