The traditional way would be for someone to create an FAQ and post
it here monthly. It looks like there was a thread on a similar
topic before I posted mine but I didn't see it because this group
hadn't been picked up by my news server yet when those posts were
made.

One reason I asked about model sites is that I used to really like
the GAMMA 3D model research database, mainly because it had an
old-fashioned design, although it also had lots of models in old
formats that I couldn't successfully convert to STL. But it's gone
offline and the Wayback Machine didn't archive it.

There are some lists of other research 3D model databases, but I
haven't found any similarly interesting or easy to browse ones
there yet (I've only checked a handful so far though).

Personally I'm really looking for simple objects that are easy to
print rather than artistic things. Things like basic flowerpot
shapes, for example. I'd usually find them easilly on GAMMA over a
decade ago, but then I'd never manage to get the download to work
or to convert the file to STL. Still, I love a plain HTML website,
so I'm really looking for a site like that from the early 2000s
that someone forgot to turn off.
