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

There has been a NIH 3D model database,but it has become unreliable already for orange reasons. Besides that there aren't many options beside manifold or plainly hosting your own site (which is not that hard tbh, but makes it hard for others to find,though)
