How it works

  1. PANEL A

    Open your model

    STL, 3MF or OBJ. Read in your browser, never uploaded.

  2. PANEL B

    Pick your box

    Type the inside size of your mailer, or take the smallest one that fits.

  3. PANEL C

    Print two cradles

    A bottom and a top cradle, reusable. Filament and estimated print time are shown first.

For anything you sell

Only the cradles are printed. You need a 3D printer and a 3D model of the product: a design file, a scan or one from the manufacturer.

Ten layouts of thin walls

Walls rise to meet your product and stay low everywhere else. The app suggests a layout; you can switch.

STANDARD WALLS

  • Grid

    Square grid. Flat-sided products.

  • Comb

    Parallel ribs across the box.

  • Truss

    Triangles instead of squares.

  • Sunburst

    A ring ribbed to the box. Round products.

ORGANIC

  • Veins

    Walls that branch out from the product.

  • Contours

    Rings like a contour map, with bridges.

  • Cells

    Irregular cells, three walls per joint.

SPIRAL VASE · ONE PRODUCT PER BOX

  • Cocoon

    A shell that funnels down to the product.

  • Claw

    A band with arms out to the box.

  • Ribbon

    One wall winding round the product.

PLANNED · NOT AVAILABLE YET

Cardboard

Grid walls as flat profiles with half-height slots. Cut them on a laser or blade cutter and slot them together: no plastic.
