Where do folks prefer to host their 3d models and designs? Do you use one site, or multiple?

I originally started on Thingiverse, but switched to Printables after it launched and that has been my main location for uploading to. I recently decided to copy all my models to Thingiverse and Thangs, in additional to Printables, but I’m not sure its worth the effort to maintain the listings on multiple sites.

I love the Printables site, I think it has the best user experience, but Thingiverse seems to reach a bigger audience. Thangs I find useful for the search, but I’m not sure its worth hosting models there as well.

    I do that too as it holds all the files for a project. Not just the shell of the device. GitHub could benefit from a tag search so something where you could add a 3D printing tag to your search and only show repos with 3D printing related files (CAD, STL, 3MF…) or manual tags.
