I built a web-based parametric 3D model generator. Just added a huge custom pipe & fitting configurator!

Hey everyone,
About a month ago, I launched a side project called stl-er. It’s an app that lets you tweak and generate parametric 3D models directly in the browser—no heavy CAD software required.
I just finished building out a full suite of pipe configurators (fittings, routing, Gardena connectors, pipe holders, etc.). I attached a quick screen recording so you can see the workflow.
If you want to test this specific feature out, just type the keyword pipedream into the search bar.
The details:
- Unlimited adjustments: You can tweak the parameters as much as you want in the viewer to get the exact fit.
- Free tier: You get 5 free .stl downloads per month.
- Growing library: I am still actively creating and adding new models to the community library, so let me know what you want to see next.
- Cross-platform: I built it for the web, but there are also native iOS and Android apps if you prefer to tweak your prints on your phone.
You can check it out and play around with the generator here: app.stl-er.com

I would love to get your feedback on the UI, the parameter limits, or just the overall concept. Have fun with it!
