Building Block Generator 3D Modeling Software

Type the numbers, check the preview and download the part. Nothing is uploaded.

Make

Used by bricks. A plate is one module, a base one module.

The grid spacing of the whole system. Keep it the same for every part.

Added to every socket so any part fits any other. The coupon steps it by 0.05 mm.

Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.

What this does

A block system of our own, designed for printers rather than moulds. Every part uses the same grid, module height, connector and clearance, so any part fits any other. Print the coupon first: a studded base and five socket blocks at different clearances. Keep the one that holds and releases by hand, then make parts with it.

How it works

  1. Type the numbersFill in the boxes above. Every one has a sensible starting value, so you can change one and leave the rest.
  2. Read the resultThe table under the form updates as soon as you press the button, and shows how every number was reached.
  3. Download the 3D Print STL FilePress the download button and drop the file straight into your slicer. It is written in millimetres.

About the formats

How they connect
Round connectors on top drop into round sockets underneath, one size for the whole system. Bases have flat undersides.

Questions

Has this been print-tested?

Not by us yet. The geometry is built from the numbers you type and checked on screen, but no printed part has been fitted. Print one small test piece before a big job and adjust.

Is Building Block Generator 3D Modeling Software free?

Yes. Every tool on StarForge is free, with no account, no sign-in and no limit on how many files you run through it. It runs on your own computer, so it costs us nothing to give away.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer. There is no upload step, no server copy and nothing kept afterwards, which is also why it works with the network switched off once the page has loaded.

How large a file can I use?

Up to 250 MB. The limit is your browser's memory rather than an upload size, because the file never goes anywhere; a file larger than that is refused with a message rather than crashing the tab.
