ModelVault
Free 3D printable models, curated for makers
Search every model listed on ModelVault • press Enter or Search
Models sold by creators who list on ModelVault. When you buy, you check out with the creator and get the files from them. Free models are still free in the sections above.
How it works:
Creators pay a monthly Creator subscription, then submit a listing (cover image, price, description, and their checkout link).
ModelVault shows the listing; the creator handles payment and file delivery.
Subscribe, then use Submit a Model and choose Paid listing.
When subscribing, pay on Square with the same email as your ModelVault login.
Creator Subscription
Want to sell models on ModelVault? Follow the 4 steps below. You keep your files and run your own checkout — we list your work.
How Creator status works:
Sign in — every account starts as a normal member (vote + free submissions).
Subscribe as Creator — pay $12/month on Square while signed in.
Use the same email on Square as your ModelVault login — otherwise we cannot match your payment to your account.
When payment finishes, Square confirms it on our server and your account flips to Creator.
Creators can submit Paid listings. Members can only submit free models.
⚠ Same email required: The email you pay with on Square must match the email you use to sign in here.
Different emails = payment cannot unlock Creator status.
Creator status is granted only after Square confirms payment on our server. Typing a success URL or clicking a button cannot fake a subscription.
Creator Sub · $12/month
Signed-in members pay via Square. Payment is verified before Creator unlocks.
Member: vote + free model submissions
Creator: paid listings unlocked
Pay with the same email as your login
Verified by Square — not self-serve cheats
⚠ Before you pay: On Square, use the exact same email as your ModelVault account.
If the emails don’t match, your subscription cannot be linked and Creator will stay locked.
Sign in first (top right), then this button will open Square checkout.
After paying: Return here and verify. We check Square for a real $12 payment tied to your account.
⚠ Email must match: Square checkout email must be the same as your ModelVault login email, or verification will fail.
