There are lots of sites full of 3D models. - Thingiverse - 3D Content Central. http://www.3dcontentcentral.com - GrabCAD. https://grabcad.com/library - 3D Part Library. http://www.3dpartlib.com/ - 3D Warehouse. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com The ones for CAD are more useful, because they usually have the dimensions right. You download those because you want the parts to fit. For competitive reasons, they tend to be…

That depends on the purpose. A place for files in Blender format: http://www.blendswap.com/

Slight tangent, but does anyone here have recommendations for a good serialization format for 3D models for the web? Think for loading into Three.js. Ideally something that can be converted to/from Collada. It seems like a lot of the standard file formats are quite heavy.

Edit: glTF? Not sure how good tooling is for this yet, but looks promising.

glTF adoption is growing very quickly - 2.0 was only finished a few months ago and there is lots of tooling already: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF#gltf-tools
