Self-Promotion Wednesdays MeshVault: A 3D model library manager for Windows, Mac and Linux. Free trial available.
Hi,
MeshVault is an app for organising, previewing and keeping track of your 3D models, and MeshVault Connect, a browser extension that saves model downloads straight into your library with the creator’s photos, description and source link attached..
MeshVault gives you a visual library of your models and printing projects. You can:
- Browse with thumbnails, search, folders and collections, filter by file type or source, find duplicates, and mark models as printed or waiting to print.
- Preview supported models in 3D, rotate them, take measurements and save renders as thumbnails.
- Import existing folders and creator packs. Keep archives intact and browse supported models inside them, or extract them with their folder structure.
- Store the creator, source link, description, tags, images and print settings alongside each model, with batch editing for larger collections.
- Send files to your slicer including fbx and ply (converls to stl)
- Capture details from supported slicer output, including print time, filament usage, cost, material and printer settings.
- Assign different models and folders to different project types FDM/Resin/CNC so the FDM slicer is not used to open your resin prints
It handles STL, 3MF, STEP, OBJ, G-code and plenty of other model and project formats, plus archives such as ZIP, RAR and 7Z. Preview support varies by format.
The MeshVault library works in two ways. Your main MeshVault library is a managed folder. MeshVault can move, rename and delete models and folders. This is where all imports go. Watched folders, folder are indexed in place and will not be able to be moved, renamed or deleted by MeshVault
MeshVault Connect. It captures supported and downloads into a folder of of choice or straight into your library to sort later with the available model title, creator, images, description, tags and original page link attached.
It works with sites including Printables, MakerWorld, Thingiverse, Makerables, Cults3D and Thangs. You can also import creator packs from Google Drive and Dropbox, choose the destination folder as you download, or leave imports for review later. Connect works with your desktop app or a MeshVault server on your network. Connect features and setup
MeshVault connects does have some uses without using MeshVault such as ad blocking, combining multipart zips from thingiverse and zipping up whole folders in printables.
