Turn art & words into printable mesh

Height-map relief from pictures · quick keyword shapes for desk bits. Download .stl and open in Cura, Bambu Studio, Orca, PrusaSlicer — then print or copy to a USB stick.

Fan project — not affiliated with Nintendo. Names like “Switch 1–style” only describe approximate size. Measure your console and scale in the slicer if needed. Small printer? Use the Print scale menu in the STL creator below, or scale any STL in your slicer. You are responsible for how you use these files.

STL creator — pictures & smart text

Build a downloadable .stl file here in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

How this “AI” works: Image → STL turns your picture’s brightness into a height-map solid (good for simple plaques and badges). Describe a shape uses keyword rules (not ChatGPT) to pick a matching desk accessory preset — quick and private.

Print scale (small bed)

Shrinks the downloaded STL from this page so parts fit a smaller build plate. Does not change the pre-made files below — for those, use your slicer’s scale (often % or uniform scale).

1. Put in an image → relief STL

Choose a JPG or PNG. Darker areas print lower; brighter areas print higher. Start with high-contrast art for clearer results.

Drag a picture here

or click this box / use Choose file below

Grid detail (higher = more detail, larger file) 40

After download, also save to My saves on this device (so you can grab the file again)

Ideas from the community (examples)

These are tips, not uploads — try similar art for a clear relief. Your own downloads can be stored below on this phone or computer only.

My saves (this device)

Relief STLs you saved here stay in your browser until you clear site data. Open the file in Cura, Bambu Studio, Orca, etc.

2. Describe a shape → preset STL

Type what you want in plain English. We match keywords and generate a simple preset (stand, clip, tray, hook, etc.).

Fan trinkets — paint your own colors

Spiked shell trinket	Domed stack with bumps — suggestive of a turtle shell; paint and scale as you like.	Download .stl
Flower trinket	Five petals + center — paint pastels or gold for a royal desk flair.	Download .stl

Individual STL files

Each row includes a 2D preview (flat-shaded render of the mesh — not a photo).

Model	Notes
Table stand (Switch 1–style size)	Wedge rest for handheld/tablet edge — verify width vs your device.	Download .stl
Table stand (Switch 2–style size)	Slightly larger wedge — still verify; official dimensions vary.	Download .stl
Mouse pad riser (Switch 2 footprint)	Low tray with back and side lips — open at the front for mouse movement; same ~128 mm width idea as the Switch 2 stand. Pair with a desk mat or scale in your slicer.	Download .stl
USB-C cable clip	Small U-shaped clip; print flat on the bottom face.	Download .stl
Game card slot tray	Shallow tray with dividers — check slot size vs your cards.	Download .stl

Phone riser stand	Smaller wedge — good for a phone or compact handheld; verify width.	Download .stl
Dual USB-C cable clip	Two U-clips in one part — route two cables along a desk edge.	Download .stl
Open desk tray	Shallow tray with three sides — dice, earbuds, or small bits.	Download .stl

Getting files to your printer: use Download, then in your slicer use File → Open and pick the STL. To move to another computer or USB stick, copy the downloaded file in your file manager. Copy link saves the full URL (handy for cloud slicers or sharing).

Print tips

PLA is fine for indoor desk use; PETG if it gets warm near a window.
Start with 0.2 mm layers and 15–20% infill for stands; clips can use 3 walls.
If the stand is loose or tight, scale 98–102% in the slicer on the width axis only.
Small build plate: in the STL creator, pick 50% or 40% under Print scale before downloading; or open any .stl in your slicer and set uniform scale to fit your bed.

Regenerate models (optional)

Source script: 3d-print/generate_switch_accessories.py. On a machine with Python 3:

cd 3d-print
python3 generate_switch_accessories.py
python3 render_stl_previews.py

After changing STLs, run render_stl_previews.py to refresh the 2D preview SVGs in 3d-print/previews/.
