Tucked
Read full descriptionHide full description
Design custom storage trays and Gridfinity bins for the little things on your desk and around your home. Tucked turns an object's outline into a model you can export and 3D print. No CAD experience needed. NEW: GRIDFINITY SUPPORT Turn on the Gridfinity option while editing, and Tucked automatically resizes your tray to fit the Gridfinity grid, using the standard 42 mm unit by default. Your custom pocket stays the same, and the bin drops right into your existing Gridfinity setup. START WITH A PHOTO Place your object on A4 or US Letter white paper, select the paper size, and take a photo from directly above. Tucked detects the outline to help you create a custom-shaped pocket. CHECK AND REFINE Detection helps distinguish your object from its shadow. Review the outline, choose between suggested results when available, or adjust individual points for more control. ADJUST WITH A DRAG Drag handles on the model to change pocket depth, tray height, clearance, and outer dimensions. Add a finger notch to make stored items easier to lift out. MATCHING ITEMS, NEATLY ARRANGED Create trays with repeated pockets for items such as same-sized lipsticks. Choose a shape, enter dimensions, and set the rows and columns. Dimension-based trays are completely free to create and export. EXPORT FOR 3D PRINTING Export an STL file, then prepare it in your preferred slicer and print it yourself, or arrange printing through a separate service. SIMPLE MODEL CREDITS - Start with 5 free photo-model credits. - Buy 10 credits for $3.99 or 30 credits for $8.99 in the US. - Purchased credits do not expire. - Taking photos, generating previews, and making adjustments use no credits. - Each new photo-based model uses 1 credit only when it is first successfully exported. - Fine-tuning and re-exporting a saved model use no additional credits. ON-DEVICE PROCESSING Photos are processed locally on your device, without uploading them to an external AI vision service. Tucked creates flat-bottomed storage tray and bin models from outlines or dimensions. It does not perform full 3D scanning or reconstruct an object's complete shape. Fit depends on the photo, your adjustments, and your printing setup. Access to a 3D printer or a separate printing service is required to make physical trays. Tucked does not print, ship physical products, or control a printer. Gridfinity is an open-source modular storage system; Tucked is not affiliated with its creator.
