Center STL on the Bed

Center STL on the Bed centers a model on XY, drops it onto the bed (min Z = 0) and scales it to an exact target height in millimeters, then exports binary STL with a print-feasibility grade (overhang ratio, minimum wall, triangle count).

This tool runs entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded to a server.

  • Formats: STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, GLB, GLTF
  • Flow: STL → bed-centered, Z=0 STL at a target height
  1. Open a model — it previews on the page first (one file at a time; if several files arrive together only the first is processed and the rest are listed as ignored).
  2. Set the target height and options.
  3. Click “Convert & download” — the STL saves to your downloads and the page shows a print-feasibility summary (grade, overhang ratio, minimum wall, triangle count). Confirm in your slicer before printing.
  • No supports or orientation optimization.
  • No mesh repair — run Mesh Doctor first for broken meshes.
  • Z is the height/bed axis for all inputs; glTF/GLB is Y-up by spec and is not converted — rotate and re-export GLB models first, or check the target height against the model’s depth.
  • Upload a model → centered on the bed → download STL
