3D GO – 3D Printing, STL Viewer & Slicer 3D GO is a fast, all-in-one 3D printing app for finding, previewing, organizing, and slicing 3D models from the biggest sites in the world. Instead of jumping between five different websites, folders, and slicers, you can do everything in one place. Search across Thingiverse, Printables, MakerWorld, Cults3D, Creality Cloud, Thangs, MyMiniFactory and Sketchfab at the same time to find STL files for parts, tools, upgrades, miniatures, home décor, and just about anything else you want to 3D print. Whether you’re printing functional parts or artistic models, 3D GO makes it easy to discover the best files from the entire 3D printing community. Select models with a full 3D preview and STL viewer, so you can rotate, zoom, and inspect it before you download or slice. This helps you avoid bad files, broken geometry, and wasted filament. You can also open any STL from your device and view it instantly inside the app. When you’re ready to print, 3D GO includes a built-in 3D slicer that converts STL files into print-ready G-code. You can prepare files for PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and more, then export them for your printer using your normal workflow. It works great alongside Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, and Klipper-based setups. You can save any model from any site and organize them into custom collections. Keep folders for different printers, materials, or projects, search through your saved models, and manage even huge STL libraries without losing track of anything. 3D GO also lets you explore what’s happening across the entire 3D printing world. Browse trending 3D models, check out design contests, and discover new creators without visiting each site individually. No matter what 3D printer you use — Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Flashforge, Ultimaker, and more — 3D GO fits right into your workflow.

Setup Code Vault

Features
Read full description

Keep the setup codes for your home devices somewhere you can find them again. Setup Code Vault brings your device names, setup credentials, label photos and notes together in a native iPhone and iPad app. Organise devices by home and room, then search by name, manufacturer or location when it is time to reconnect them. • Save HomeKit setup codes or other setup credentials. • Scan supported codes and text, photograph labels, or attach images and PDF files. • Keep your local vault encrypted and optionally require Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode to open it. • Export and restore a versioned JSON backup. • Sync manually with iCloud and resolve conflicting changes explicitly. Free includes up to six devices. Family is a one-time purchase for unlimited device records and invitation-based shared vaults. There is no subscription. Each person joining a shared vault needs Family access; Apple purchase Family Sharing is enabled for the Family Lifetime product. An attachment can be up to 10 MiB and the encoded vault up to 45 MiB. Family removes the device-count limit, not these storage limits. Sync is manual: use Sync after editing on each device. JSON exports are unencrypted and contain your saved codes and attachments. Keep them private. The encrypted local vault and its device-only key do not migrate through device backup, so use iCloud sync or keep a separate export for recovery.
