▦ MAKE MY PATTERN: Add pretty surface texture to your own designs

Transform your standard 3D models into stunning, tactile pieces! This customizer allows you to seamlessly apply over 20 highly detailed, mathematical patterns to your own imported STL files directly within MakerWorld. A lot of effort put into this, with +1000 lines of code.

🌟 Core Features

• Texture Your Own STLs: Import your models and use the intuitive "Shadow Box" wireframe guide to perfectly align and map textures exactly where you want them.
• Flawless, Math-Generated Quality: Unlike traditional image-based displacement, these textures are generated by pure mathematics. This guarantees incredibly crisp, beautiful details that 3D print flawlessly without jagged edges or artifacts.
• 20+ Fine-Tunable Patterns: Choose from a massive library including realistic Leather Stitches, Carbon Fiber, Knurls, Grids, Ribs, Bricks, and more. Each pattern features its own unique sliders for scaling, padding, and detailing.
• Emboss or Extrude: Enter a positive depth to extrude the pattern outward, or a negative depth to cleanly cut and emboss the texture directly into your model's surface.
• Built-in Keychain Generator: Want to test the waters before importing an STL? Use the prebuilt, fully customizable keychain tool to play with different patterns and print a unique everyday carry item.

• Custom Toy Bricks: Generate textured building bricks (1x2, 2x2, 2x4, etc.) with built-in shrinkage compensation for perfect connector compatibility.

   

⚡ Ready-to-Print Profile Included Not sure where to start? The included print profile features a collection of pre-generated examples showcasing the different textures this tool can create. They are easy to print, taking less than 20 minutes and using under 5g of filament!

⚠️ Important Limitations To keep the geometry clean and generation times fast, this tool relies on basic bounding box projections (Cube or Cylinder) to map the textures. Because of this, the tool does not work on complex, irregular, or organic designs (such as characters, figurines, or freeform sculptures), as it cannot wrap patterns around unpredictable curves. It is best suited for functional parts, enclosures, boxes, and cylindrical objects.
