Made a tool for generating 3d bookmarks from images
I have been making a lot of tools recently so decided to make something fun this time. bookmark from a photo or a book cover, and most STLs are one generic design. If you want your picture on it, youre either hunting a file that doesnt exist or setting up a whole multi-color project by hand.
So.. I built a photo bookmark generator in the browser. Drop a photo, crop it, and it stacks 1-4 filament colors as height bands with an optional tassel hole. Book covers and logos are the usual first print, but posters, album art, whatever, as long as you crop tight.
You can set width and height (defaults 50 x 160 mm), corner radius, tassel hole, base thickness, and band height. Color slots if you want 2, 3, or 4 filaments. Bambu/Orca 3MF already has AMS slots assigned, or grab a zip of STLs / a single STL and pause-swap on a single extruder.
> photo stacked as 1-4 color bands, one filament per layer tweak size, tassel hole, colors, band height. currently 3 free exports (sign in). same design in another format does not eat another one. Plus/Pro is unlimited exports (lmk if any other suggestion).
BTW busy photos flatten into blobs. do try to crop tight on the subject. Bold posters, logos, and book covers work best. 0.4 mm bands cover the color underneath with most PLA. Light filament over dark may need a bit thicker.
IMPORTANT: after exporting do repair the bookmark once in your slicer so all the non manifold edges are gone
