A mechanical engineer friend of mine recently released an open source high precision DIY-friendly 3D printer[0], the assembly manual[1] alone is a thing of beauty.

Ironically hosted on the free/open source website run by Prusa, because thingiverse went away from core principles.

The website isn't FOSS, ironically.

Also it recently started allowing models that aren't CC or open source, at the same time as adding blue checkmark brand accounts.

Is there a better place to host such projects? Appreciate your insights, I will pass them along to the author.

Not that I'm aware of.

A lot of open source code is hosted on github, which isn't open source either.

It isn't really an issue, I was just correcting bmsleight_. It would be nice to have an open source model repository though.
