What it does

Upload an STL, OBJ, GLB/glTF, or PLY and BrickSolvr turns it into a physically buildable stud-brick model—entirely in your browser. Compare the original and brick versions in 3D, tune size, colors, and brick inventory, then export an exact parts list and follow a layer-by-layer build guide. Free, private, and no signup: your model never leaves your device.

Turn any 3D model (STL, OBJ, GLB, PLY) into a buildable brick design in your browser — free, no sign-up — and get the exact list of brick sizes, colors and counts to buy.

Drop in a 3D model and BrickSolvr turns it into a brick design that actually holds together — then tells you every size, color and count you need to build it for real. Plenty of things will show you what your model would look like in bricks. BrickSolvr tells you which bricks — every color, every size, every count — so you can go and buy them. Only own certain colors or sizes? Say so, and the design is built from those — anything it can't cover is listed separately, so there are no surprises halfway through. Drag an STL, OBJ, GLB or PLY file anywhere on the page. Nothing to hand? Pick one of the demo models and watch it happen. Choose how many studs wide the build should be — bigger means…from bricksolvr.com

    I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  • OpenSEO▲928

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
