MakerBeast

From "why did that fail?" to a part that fits.

A 3D printing workbench in your browser. It reads your G-code to find the one cause behind a failed print, gives you settings checked against your printer, and designs the part you need from a description. Talk to it or type.

Free plan, no card needed. 424 printers and 961 filaments built in. Includes Mini Beast.

The tools that work today.

Failure Finder

Pick what you see, add photos, drop in the G-code or 3MF. It reads what your printer was actually told to do (temperatures, fan spikes, flow, hand-added overrides) and finds the one cause behind all of it.

"Corners lift and it goes soft at layer 488"

Settings you can trust

Numbers come from the filament maker's own slicer profile, for 961 filaments from 64 brands, and are checked against your hotend, bed, enclosure, nozzle and dryer. Export straight into OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer.

CAD Studio

Describe the part, its measurements and what it attaches to. It builds a solid model, sets it on your bed and checks it fits. Change it in plain English, then download the STL.

"Clip for a 25 mm pipe, two #8 screw holes"

Fit Check

Print one small test piece, measure it, and get the exact hole and contour compensation for your slicer.

Hole 9.62 mm → hole compensation +0.19 mm

Talk to it

Every box has a microphone. Talk mode gives you a hands-free back-and-forth at the printer, with answers read aloud.

Failure library and journal

Eighteen common failures explained, spool drying reminders, print cost from every file, and a journal that remembers what fixed things last time. Browse the library.

Beast Tune

Short guided test prints for each filament on your own printer: temperature tower, flow, pressure advance, retraction and max speed. Tap the best result and your own preset builds itself.

CAD from a photo

Photograph the broken part with a coin or ruler for scale, type two or three measurements, and get an editable part. Refine it by chat: "make the hole 6 mm."

Coming

3D scan import

Drop in a scan from Polycam, KIRI, Scaniverse, Creality or Revopoint. It shrinks big scans before upload, fills holes, lays the part flat, and can rebuild mechanical parts as editable CAD.

Beginner guide, out of your way

A "?" button on every screen walks newcomers through each step. Pros switch the tips off and the button stays put.

Presets or calibration

Your choice, every filament.

Nobody gets forced into calibrating. Each filament has a picker, and you can switch any time.

OrcaSlicer presets

Every printer and filament preset OrcaSlicer ships. The default, and a good place to start.

My tunes

Built by Beast Tune on your own printer and spool. Every printer and spool is a little different, so this is how you get the last bit of quality.

Import

Bring the presets you already trust from your slicer.
