I'm Wade, a mechanical tradesman who built ShapeNook, 3D design made for 3D printing: exact sizes, a fit test for your printer, overhang checks, color 3MF export, and a sentence-to-model AI. It launches here tomorrow.
Question for anyone with a printer: what's the first thing you'd want to design that your current tools make hard? I'm reading every answer.
Tinkercad is easy but ignores printing. Fusion knows printing but takes weeks to learn. ShapeNook is easy and made for printing: exact sizes with your printer's fit built in, an overhang check that shows trouble in red, color 3MF export for Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer and Orca, and a parts library of 3,945 printable parts. Describe something and it builds an editable model. Price what you sell, then print a craft-fair price sign. Free in the browser and on iPad.
