General 3MF splitter
3MF Splitter Online
A 3MF splitter helps you turn one model into printable pieces. Split3MF combines color splitting, plane cuts, sketch cuts, printer fitting, connectors, and export in one browser workspace.
When to use a 3MF splitter
Use the splitter when a model is too large for the build plate, needs separate color parts, or must be divided into pieces for assembly. You can work with a painted 3MF or use the cutting tools on an STL or OBJ that has no color information.
The browser preview lets you check the model before exporting. This keeps the decision in the same place as the operation instead of relying on a file name or a slicer preview alone.
Available operations
- Split painted color regions into separate parts.
- Make a flat plane cut at a chosen position and angle.
- Draw a sketch cut through a selected piece.
- Plan cuts so pieces fit a selected printer volume.
- Add alignment pins to suitable cut faces.
- Export plain 3MF, individual STL files, or a Bambu Studio project when available.
File support
3MF preserves project structure and painted color information. STL is a geometry-only format, so it is useful for cutting but does not carry the original color assignment. OBJ can be opened with its MTL file when material colors are part of the model.
Files are processed locally in the browser. The current product does not provide server-side conversion or cloud storage for the uploaded model.
Check the result before printing
Inspect every new face, make sure small pieces are large enough to print, and run a slice in your own slicer. Printer settings, filament choice, supports, and final print strength remain your responsibility.
A 3MF splitter for common print jobs
A 3MF splitter is most useful when the reason for the cut is clear. Use a color split for a painted multicolor model, a plane cut for a clean seam, a sketch cut for an outline, and Fit to Printer when the model exceeds the available build volume. Keeping those jobs in one 3MF splitter workspace makes it easier to preview the part count and choose the next operation without moving between unrelated tools.
The 3MF splitter keeps the source model in the browser while you work. You can open a project, test a cut, undo it, and try a different boundary before exporting. This is especially helpful for a large 3MF where a filename or a slicer thumbnail cannot tell you whether a seam crossed a thin wall or a painted detail.
From a 3MF split to a printable result
- Decide whether the job is color separation, a deliberate assembly seam, or a printer-size problem before changing the geometry in a 3MF splitter.
- Keep a simple part name or label for each piece so the exported files are easy to match during slicing in the 3MF splitter.
- Use the exploded preview to catch reversed orientation, detached slivers, and pieces that are too small to handle.
- Add connectors only after the main split is stable; connector placement can change the clearance and the required print orientation.
- Slice the exported result in Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, or another slicer before printing the complete model.
