Sliding webcam privacy cover for laptop
A thin adhesive frame with a sliding shutter that covers a laptop camera when you are not on a call. The frame is 1 mm thick with an 8 mm aperture, the shutter rides in 0.6 mm rails with 0.15 mm clearance so it slides smoothly but holds position, and a small 0.8 mm bump detents it open or closed. Total thickness stays under 1.8 mm so the lid still closes on most laptops. Print it face down at 0.12 mm layers for clean rails. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.

Example prompt
Create a webcam privacy cover: a 30 x 12 mm frame 1 mm thick with an 8 mm aperture, a sliding shutter 12 x 10 mm running in 0.6 mm rails with 0.15 mm clearance and a 0.8 mm detent bump at each end, 1.8 mm maximum thickness.
Fit notes
Camera positions and bezels differ between laptops, so SpeakCAD sizes the frame to your bezel and offsets the aperture to your lens. Preview the cover in the browser, thin the frame or enlarge the aperture in one reply, and download the STL when it fits around your camera.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
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.
