Introduction

“Can’t find the right dowel?” “Nothing fits your size?”
This fully customizable dowel generator lets you design and print exactly what you need—when you need it.
Create the perfect size and shape for any project, instantly.

⚠️ Note: On desktop, click the “Customize” button above to open the interactive editor.
On mobile devices, this button may not appear—please use a desktop browser for full customization.

Key Features

  • Adjustable dimensions – set diameter, length, and chamfer size
  • Split mode – creates a flat-bottom “firewood-style” half dowel for stronger horizontal printing with no supports needed
  • Smoothness control – choose your resolution based on use case
  • Chamfered ends – easy to insert and clean-looking
  • Support-free design – optimized for FDM printing

How to Use

  1. Adjust the parameters (size, split mode, etc.)
  2. Click Download to get the 3MF file
  3. Open in Bambu Studio or your preferred slicer and print

⚠️ When using split mode, place the flat side down when printing — no supports required.

Built for Real-World Printing

  • Optimized for horizontal printing: FDM printers are strongest along layer lines. By laying the dowel flat with the flat cut on the bottom, you get better resistance to shear stress.
  • Support-free and stable: Normally, cylindrical shapes roll or need support when printed sideways. This generator solves that by slicing the dowel flat, so it prints cleanly and stays firmly in place.
  • Ideal for woodworking, jigs, furniture, hardware, and hobby projects

Print Tips

  • Always print horizontally for maximum strength
  • Adjust smoothness depending on your needs
  • Use 100% infill for added weight and durability if required
