Common methods for obtaining an STL file:

You can download models from the internet:  The first and the simplest method is to download a pre-existing STL file from the web. There are several popular websites that contain thousands of digital models that have already been optimized for extrusion-based 3D printing. Common sites are www.thingiverse.com and grabcad.com.
Tips on how to manipulate existing or downloaded 3d models in various 3d software programs and the best of all most of them are FREE, (see 3d - Printing software & CAD Software)
