Hello all,
Has there been any attempt to start a Wikimedia project focusing on free
3D models?
I think, right now it would be the right timing for it. The prices of 3D
printers and other computer controlled machines are coming down [1] and
there are growing network of FabLabs around the world providing access for
public to design and fabricate their own objects.[2]
I have contacts to the European Fablab folks and we probably could start
with them a project on an Incubator.
Best regards,

The most popular example of this kind of repository is Thingiverse,[1] run
by a small NY-based company that makes 3D printers. Most of the content
there is CC.
