Weighted napkin holder with hinged bar
A tabletop holder that keeps a stack of napkins tidy on a patio. The base is 175 mm square with 1.5 mm walls and a 12 mm deep hollow underside for sand or washers, sealed by a snap-in cover; a weighted arm on a print-in-place hinge swings up and rests on the stack. The bar is 20 mm wide with 4 mm fillets, the hinge pin is 4 mm with 0.4 mm clearance, and both parts print upright. 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
Design a napkin holder 175 x 175 mm and 20 mm tall with 1.5 mm walls, a 12 mm deep hollow underside with a snap-in cover, a 20 mm wide weighted arm on a 4 mm print-in-place hinge pin with 0.4 mm clearance, 4 mm fillets.
Fit notes
Cocktail napkins, lunch napkins and paper serviettes come in different folded sizes, so a holder generated to yours grips the stack neatly. Tell SpeakCAD the napkin size and how heavy you want the base, preview it in the browser, ask for a curved bar or a salt and pepper recess, and download the STL when it fits.

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.
