Thingiverse has many designs for you to print. Search for something you like! (I chose to look up Kpop)

My teacher had a folder for when you downloaded the design. When you download the design you should be able to open a folder that comes with it. Open it and find the .stl file. You should open drive, so you can drop the file in the folder.

Put Stl File in Folder
