3D Viewer 3.1.0 adds export with repair, print orientation, AR, share links, import from a link and a better compare.

New

In the viewer

  • Export (Tools): download the model as STL, 3MF or OBJ, standing on the bed as shown.
    • Scale in %, or a Height in mm.
    • Repair (on by default): closes holes, turns flipped faces the right way, and removes faces with no area or stored twice. It then says what it fixed and what is left.
    • Admins can Save a copy here, next to the original (for example benchy-fixed.3mf). The original is never changed.
  • Lay flat on a face (Orientation): click a face and the model turns to lie on it.
  • Auto-orient for printing (Orientation): finds the position that needs the fewest supports, then the biggest footprint. Save it with Save orientation.
  • View in AR on phones and tablets: the model at its real size, on your table or floor.
    • iPhone and iPad use AR Quick Look.
    • Android uses Google's Scene Viewer. The phone must reach the server at its address, and Scene Viewer may need HTTPS.
  • Compare with…: pick a second model from the folder or by searching the library.
  • Overlay in Compare: the two models on top of each other, each in its own see-through colour, to see what differs.

Sharing and importing

  • Share links: Share link in the viewer, or Share above a folder.
    • Choose how long it works: 1 day, 7 days, 30 days or until removed.
    • Whoever opens it sees only that model, or that folder and its sub-folders, and can view and download. This also works on a private server, without an account.
    • Remove links in the dialog, or all of them in Admin → Share links.
  • Import from link: Import at the top of the page, for signed-in accounts and the admin.
    • Printables, Thingiverse or MakerWorld model page: a new folder with the files, the pictures (the first one becomes the folder picture) and a README with the description.
    • Thingiverse needs a free app token: add it in Admin → Import from link.
    • MakerWorld only lets its members download files, so usually only the pictures and description come in. Download the 3MF there and upload it.
    • A link to a file (.stl, .3mf, .zip…): saved in the open folder; archives are unpacked.

Update

Pull the new image and redeploy (or docker compose pull && docker compose up -d), then hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac).

Image: ghcr.io/vincentflagg/3dviewer:3.1.0 (or :3.1, :latest), for amd64 and arm64.
