I’ve collected quite a number of STL files for 3D printing, and realized I need some better way to catalogue them, because the default Windows explorer is starting to become burdensome. I’m looking for something that:
- Shows a 3D preview I can rotate around to see the model
- Allows me to sort into folders
- Allows tagging with keywords for later searching
- Snappy search
Maybe Windows already does this and I’m just not seeing it, but I feel like my collection is at the point where I need something dedicated, similar to a photo cataloguing tool (e.g. Google Photos) or a reference manager (e.g. Zotero/Mendeley).
Any good FOSS tool that does something like this? Or a generic “better file explorer”?
Why not try one of the free nextcloud hosting providers? I don’t remember if they have support for Nextcloud apps.
