Do you prefer models from games that were officially released as printable files by the developers, or do you not care about legality as long as the file looks good and prints well?
I used to grab any game file that looked clean without checking where it came from until I got hit with a takedown notice and lost three days of printing work. Legality matters more after you invest filament and time because official releases guarantee the mesh is optimized for printing while fan rips often have hidden holes or inverted normals that ruin your bed adhesion. That is why I now search for verified stl 3d printing files from marketplaces that handle licensing for you, saving hours of repair work in Blender. A 2023 survey showed nearly 40 percent of printed game models fail on first try when the source is unofficial compared to only 12 percent failure from developer released packs. My rule is simple pay a little more for legit files or spend twice as long fixing someone else's messy export.
