Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I think this is a fine idea, but what is wrong with Thingiverse and Printables ?
My general issue with Thingiverse is the poor search functionality, even with the exact thing title you often won't find what you are looking for. Even if Pinside didn't host the files it would be great if there was a way to link a file on one of the general sites to a machine on Pinside so that people could find it. Maybe add a new subforum so people could share their work in a new thread that could be linked to games. It would be easy to use Pinsides advanced search to filter on that subforum if you want to look for pinball related maker items. That would let Robin leverage the great work/site he has already built without having to deal with hosting large maker files.
