Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this question should go in here, so please forgive me if there's another place I should place it.

So I just got a 3D Printer (FDM) about 2 months ago, and I have been pretty successful at printing simple objects and toys for my kid. Now that I've been more comfortable with it, I also hope to make my own diorama accessories for my hobby. Mainly just simple stuff, like maybe some barrels, fuel drums, crates, etc. Right now, I'm trying to create a munitions warehouse for my GI JOE Classified figures.

I'm aware that there are plenty of sellers on ebay and etsy that sells these kind of 3d printed stuff, but the problem of course is the cost. It sure adds up quick and some even charge close to $20 just for a 3d printed fuel drum prop! =) I would rather just buy a spool of filament for $20, put my machine to work, and have it print out 30 to 40 fuel drums for me (which is about how many I will need).

Anyways, for those of you who 3D Prints your own accessories and props, where do you buy your 3d models from? or do you make them yourself, or have someone make it for you?

I've also heard of sites like CGTrader (can't remember the other ones), but I can't seem to find 3d models of accessories in there that are in the correct scale? If I buy the models there, it seems like I have to get involved with 3d modeling (not really interested in doing that) to scale it to the right size?

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks all and Happy Thanksgiving.
