How to use a design
Choose Open in editor on a design, change what you like, then export. Duplicate and edit in the library keeps your copy in My designs, stored in your browser only. Library designs themselves are read-only. In the editor, the Library button opens the same designs as a panel without leaving your work. Read how the controls work or how to export an STL.
Common questions
Are these fixed STL files?
No. Each design opens in the editor with every setting adjustable, so you can change the size, ribs, twist, wall or socket hole before you export the STL.
What does "prints without supports" mean here?
In the print orientation the tool uses, the shade has no overhang steeper than about 45° and no long bridge. The check is automatic and repeatable; it is not a guarantee for every printer and material.
