Where do people move to from thingiverse?
I looked at http://repables.com/ and http://www.fabfabbers.com/models/
However, a search on dragon gives 0 results on those sites, which indicates to me a lack of users and hence models. Repables seems to have nicest interface. So, what to do? Move to repables, and hope others follow? Or is there a better place?
Thingiverse is smooth, but as I now have build a prusa, sending all people we give workshops to in the hands of makerbot seems wrong. And them patenting community ideas does not help.

If you’re just looking for a host, github seems karmically good. Google will let you search the world (not just thingiverse) with “string filetype:stl”
I’ve found the really oddball stuff I want to print (like Motherland Calls) can be found on lots of places other than thingiverse.
Searching on youmagine for dragon yields results. No dragons, but it yields results…
I’ve also been using Repables and it’s pretty much a simple thingiverse clone, minus the corporate greed. 
@Jaidyn_Edwards , @Daid_Braam youmagine is acting weird in latest firefox for me, no scrolling of images, clicking the tabs does nothing.
@Gareth_Owen yeggi is new to me, thanks for the link.
With 4 contenders already to move to, it would be nice to know where the makermovement leaders flock too, and which one has most chance of still being around in 4 years. I have quite some designs on thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/bmcage/designs), it would be nice to not duplicate them in several places.
@Mike_Miller github is great and I use it, but not where I can send children to to select designs.
Almost sounds like a ‘neutral 3rd party’ website would be a good idea…something like thingiverse in that it shows where things are and has photos, and is searchable…but does not contain the actual files, so it cannot abuse it’s privileges.
Well they’re doing a poor job of self-promotion as it’s the first time I’ve heard of em! (and shows what I get for thinking I had an original thought)
Repables is nice and clean. And their 3d model viewer actually runs well on mobile. That’s where I plan on putting all my printer designs in addition to github.
@Matthew_Satterlee It looks like you also grant http://repables.com the right to do pretty much anything with your content. There might not be evil intent in this but after recent events we should be cautious about what rights we give away.
