Walls are 2.5 mm with 4 mm fillets, and both parts print without supports.

Example prompt
Design a paper towel holder with a 180 mm diameter base 25 mm tall, hollow cavity 15 mm deep with a snap-in cover for weight, a 38 mm diameter spindle 280 mm tall screwed into the base, a 2 mm flexible tension arm 260 mm tall, 2.5 mm walls.
Fit notes
Roll heights, core diameters and counter space vary, so SpeakCAD sizes the spindle and base to your rolls and your kitchen instead of a generic average. Preview the holder in the browser, swap the tension arm for a rear stop, and download the STL when it fits your counter.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
