I found https://www.snapeda.com/instapart/ recently.

I just requested a part via their free plan, as I've never made a footprint for a part before (something which I do need to learn).

I'd be interested to know of other people's experience with them.

Also I found http://pcbshopper.com/ pretty handy.

Yes, PCBshopper.com is really nice and I forgot about it!

There is a PR open for SnapEDA but I am a bit reluctant as I don't have enough experience with using it. If you jump in on that I might change my mind: https://github.com/monostable/awesome-electronics/pull/1

Great list! Thank you! I agree with @anfractuosity, that I'd like to see SnapEDA on this list. There my go-to source for CAD packages. I don't even create CAD parts anymore; if it's not in their DB already, I just request it. I've had great success with them.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of pcbshopper.com before. That's very useful.
