Build with simple shapes. Place, resize, rotate, combine and cut directly on this website.
Help and printing notes
Orbit mode: drag to look around. Move mode: drag an object on the bed. Shift-click selects multiple objects. Number fields also work on mobile.
When the workplane is focused: arrows orbit or move by 1 mm, Home fits the view, Esc leaves the workplane.
Holes appear translucent while editing. Preview the result before exporting. Colors distinguish objects and are not included in STL.
Disconnected solids remain separate parts in STL. Check dimensions, walls, strength and supports in your slicer.
Quick shapes
Choose a shape, set its dimensions, explore it in 3D and download an STL to try in your slicer.

Preview colour is for display. STL stores geometry only.
These solid practice shapes use millimetres. Check units, orientation, material, supports and size in your slicer before printing.
