GyroidVault is a self-hosted 3D model library and print manager. Inspect multi-part CAD assemblies, calculate real-time physical dimensions, stream 1-click ZIP collections, and track print logs. 100% free and privacy-first.
GyroidVault
GyroidVault eliminates the clutter of lost model files, unorganized downloads, and guesswork print times.
Inspired by professional CAD and slicer software. The clean two-column workspace organizes your full markdown descriptions, multi-format attachments, print history timelines, and version iterations right alongside the 3D viewport.
Inspect individual components or switch to ✦ All Parts Combined to render complete multi-STL kits in harmonious palette colors with real-time physical millimeter dimensions.
Organize models into themed project albums with automated 2x2 visual collages. Stream full collections as unified ZIP archives instantly.
Organize your collection with intuitive multi-select controls. Bulk-add tags, reassign categories, move items into collections, or delete models in seconds.
Your 3D library stays 100% private in your home network. Protected with secure session authentication, rate limiting, and password-protected or expiring share links.
Non-blocking asynchronous directory crawler with real-time status monitoring, concurrency locks, and memory-safe 300MB+ ZIP thresholds. Launch directly into OrcaSlicer, Elegoo, or Cura with 1-click desktop protocol integration.
Explore actual screenshots of GyroidVault 2.0 running on a Maker workstation. From library organization to deep slicing telemetry.
From raw NAS directory folders to community digital asset archives, see how GyroidVault is tailor-made for the hands-on 3D printing workshop.

Every tool has its place: If you are looking for federated community sharing and archival DAM, Manyfold is unmatched. If you want a dedicated commercial desktop manager for a single PC, Modelist or Meshory are solid paid options. If you want open-source AI auto-tagging, Printventory is great. But if you want a fast, 100% free & open-source 24/7 homelab hub that connects your NAS directly to your slicers and 3D printers across all your phones, tablets and PCs, GyroidVault was purpose-built for you.
Zero complex dependencies. Lightweight SQLite database engine, self-contained, and ready for your home server or NAS.
