Then what platform is better?
Printables?
yes
Yes.
It even has an award system that gives “meters”. Meaning if your models are very popular you could get printer for free.. or at least few spools/merch.
Edit: forgot the contest as well. Prizes are always good and on some big ones you could win a printer as well.
Thinking you might get a good change for both given you are clearly making good models, even if you cannot test them yet.
Thingiverse has a better (maybe just bigger) library but Printables has a better interface. I use both and think it always nice to host source files on GitHub.
