With the large number of printable part repositories/marketplaces popping up, it would be nice to get a good list together. This list was started in the reprap forums.

Feature Columns

Status

Current state of the website: Early Dev, Early Live, Live, Dead, or Down.

Free, Pay, or Mix

On the list here you will find a mixture of websites that provide printable part files completely free, for a monetary charge, or a mixture of the two.

Available Licensing

When uploading or downloading files from part repositories be aware of the licensing that has been selected for the model. Some websites allow users to pick from multiple licenses with others specifically forcing one license. Be aware that some licenses do not allow use by commercial entities.

For more information on licensing check out: Creative Commons and GNU.org. If the repository/marketplace you are using does not allow or use CC or GNU licensing be sure to read through their FAQ or Terms of Service.

Website Source

With the Free Open Source Software and Hardware nature of RepRap it is nice to see websites also following principals.

Notes

Any extra notes about the repository/marketplace that doesn't fit in the other current feature categories.
