File Sharing for 3D Printing

You designed a custom bracket in CAD, sliced it with your preferred settings and the print came out perfect. Now someone wants the files. They need the STL, the GCODE and your slicer profile. Uploading to a forum is clunky. Email bounces the attachment.

Sharing 3D Print Files Is Harder Than It Should Be

The 3D printing community runs on shared files. STL models, STEP files for editing, GCODE for specific printers and slicer profiles that took hours to dial in. But sharing these files is awkward. Thingiverse has upload limits and slow servers. Discord compresses files. Email rejects anything over 25 MB. Forum attachment limits are even smaller.

What makers actually need is a fast way to upload a few files, get a link and share it. No account creation for the person downloading. No ads. No file mangling.

How to Share 3D Print Files with EasySend

  1. Upload your files - drag the STL, GCODE and slicer profile onto easysend.co
  2. Add build photos - include pictures of the finished print so recipients know what to expect
  3. Add a description - note the material, layer height and any tips for printing successfully
  4. Share the link - post it on Reddit, Discord, a forum or send it directly to someone

Client Deliveries

If you run a print service or sell custom designs, EasySend gives you a professional delivery method. Upload the STL and STEP files for the client. Include build photos showing the finished product. Use a custom URL like easysend.co/jones-bracket for a polished presentation. The client clicks the link and downloads without creating an account.

Community Model Sharing

Share your designs with the maker community by uploading the STL alongside the print settings that work. Include the slicer profile, a readme with material recommendations and photos of successful prints. One link covers everything the next person needs to reproduce your build.

Print Farm Workflows

Running multiple printers means managing files across machines. Upload your tested GCODE files and let operators download them to each printer's SD card or OctoPrint instance. Track downloads to confirm every machine got the latest file before a batch run starts.
