Bring any model. Make it yours.

Found the perfect model on Thingiverse, Printables or MakerWorld, but it’s 3 mm too small, needs your name on it, or has nowhere to put a screw? Download it, bring it into twyk, and tweak it in your browser. Free.

How it works

From download to your version in four steps

01

Download it

Get the STL or 3MF from the model’s page on your favourite site.

02

Import it

In the twyk editor, import the file, up to 64 MB. A 3MF keeps its separate parts and colours.

03

Tweak it

Resize, add text or holes, cut, split or push its faces.

04

Print it

Check the gaps, then export STL or 3MF for your slicer.

How it works ›

Add your name

Raised or cut-through text in 48 fonts or your own, from a gamertag to a gift tag.

How it works ›

Add holes and slots

Drop a hole shape where you need a screw, a magnet or a cable, and merge it in.

How it works ›

Add a mount or a wider base

Drop in shapes to add a wall mount, a wider base or a clip, then merge them into the model.

How it works ›

Too big for your printer?

Cut it in two at exactly the right height, then lay each piece flat side down.

How it works ›

Take it apart

Split separates loose parts or a base plate, and can turn pieces back into editable shapes.

How it works ›

Thicken or trim a face

Push face pulls one flat face in or out, to add material or shave some off.

How it works ›

Check before you print

Gaps finds parts that would fuse together, and Flex tests whether a flexible part will snap.

twyk isn’t affiliated with these sites; their names belong to their owners. OBJ files can’t be imported into twyk, so convert them to STL first. A 3MF brings in its objects and colours, but not print settings.

Respect the designer’s licence

Many models are shared under Creative Commons licences. Some allow remixes and some don’t, and some are for non-commercial use only. Check the licence on the model’s page, credit the designer, and don’t share or sell a remix the licence doesn’t allow.

Frequently asked questions

How do I edit an STL file online for free?

Open twyk in your browser, sign in with Google, and import the STL (up to 64 MB). You can resize it, add text or holes, cut it, take it apart with Split, or push or pull its faces. Then export it as STL or 3MF. twyk is free.

Can I modify a model I downloaded from Thingiverse, Printables or MakerWorld?

Yes, if the file is STL, 3MF or SVG, which covers most downloads from these sites. Download it, import it into twyk, and tweak it. Check the model’s licence first: some allow remixes and some don’t.

What file types can twyk import?

STL, 3MF and SVG files, one at a time, up to 64 MB. A 3MF comes in as separate objects with their colours, and an SVG becomes a flat solid. OBJ files can’t be imported, so convert them to STL first.

Will a 3MF from MakerWorld keep its colours?

A 3MF comes into twyk as separate objects with their colours. Print settings aren’t brought in; you set those in your slicer as usual.

Can I change the shape of an imported STL?

An STL is a mesh, so it arrives as one solid. You can resize it, cut it, add to it, cut holes into it, push or pull its flat faces, and use Split to separate its parts or turn pieces into editable shapes where possible.

Is it allowed to remix models I download?

It depends on the licence the designer chose. Many models use Creative Commons licences; some allow remixes and some don’t, and some are for non-commercial use only. Check the licence on the model’s page and credit the designer.
