A free tool from the channel

Primed3D, the free 3D model painting tool built for printing

Load an STL, 3MF or OBJ, paint it in your browser, and export a 3MF that goes straight into your slicer. Nothing to install, nothing uploaded, no account.

Paint with the filaments you already own and export solid colours for normal multi-colour printing, or let Primed3D convert your painting into dithered colour layer lines, so three to five filaments cover the entire spectrum, photographs included.

Free · Open source · Runs in your browser · Nothing uploaded

  • Brush, sphere, fill, band, gradient, photo projection and more
  • Project a full-colour photo onto a model and print it
  • Paint with the full colour spectrum, or up to 25 of your own filament colours
  • Export solid colours for conventional AMS multi-colour prints
  • Or export dithered CMY for full-spectrum colour from 3-5 filaments
  • Works with Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer
