ZEIM

Beginner: ZEIM picks the settings. Experienced: every setting is yours.

Example lithophane: Tango the cat, lit from behind.

Turn a photo into something you can print.Studio

Take or choose a photo. ZEIM makes a 3D model you can turn around, then gets it ready to print. Free to use.

Drag the model to turn it. To scroll the page, swipe on the thin edge strips beside it.

    Prepare for resin

    Your printer type is Resin. TorchC0 hollows, tilts and supports the model; then open the file in your resin printer's slicer (for example Lychee, CHITUBOX or Anycubic Photon Workshop).

    Moonraker / OctoPrint: Live API (real HTTP). Not yet confirmed on Zach's Creality K1 hardware. Bambu LAN and unconfigured/stub paths stay Simulated.

    Check the printer and stay nearby while it prints.

    Printers

    Moonraker / OctoPrint: Live API. Bambu / stubs: Simulated. Failure watch only pauses — it never stops the job.

    Manual start queue

    Jobs wait until you press Start. ZEIM will not auto-start the next job on a busy printer.

    Printers

    OctoPrint and Moonraker (Creality K1 / Klipper) use a real HTTP send path labelled Live API (mock-tested; not yet confirmed on Zach's K1 hardware). Bambu LAN stays Simulated until a hardware pass — needs LAN Only + Developer Mode; keep Open in Bambu Studio as fallback. Other types are Coming soon. API keys are stored encrypted in data/settings.json.

    Showcase

    Community projects, clean and safe for all. Everything is free to download.

    Create from photo Learn

    Challenges

    Prize-free themed making. No cash, no prizes, no ranking rewards — just makers helping makers. Tip links stay optional; ZEIM takes no cut.

    Filters use what each maker filled in. Projects that do not say stay visible unless you pick a specific value.

    CAD

    New · early Design from scratch in the CAD workspace: sketch with dimensions and constraints, then extrude, revolve, fillet, pattern and more. Every step stays editable in History. These tools also work on any STL, OBJ or 3MF:

    TorchC0

    ZEIM's resin program. Hollow your model with a drain hole, tilt it, add supports and a raft, then open the STL or 3MF in your resin printer's own slicer to make the layer file.

    2D→3D

    Turn one photo into a figure or a bust to print. An open AI model guesses the sides it cannot see, so results are a starting point, not a scan.

    Your photo

    Private. The photo is cleaned of location data and stays on this ZEIM server; only you can see it and the model.

    What to make

    Usually clearer with one subject, a plain background and soft light.

    Smart Fix

    Open a model in the editor, then repair, hollow or simplify it. ZEIM checks for holes, flipped faces and hidden voids.
