Sellers with big model libraries — how do you track your files AND your finished stock? I started building a tool for it

Sellers with big model libraries — how do you track your files AND your finished stock? I started building a tool for it

I sell prints at local markets/festivals, and two things were quietly eating my time:

  1. Finding files. Hundreds of models across folders and drives, all identical gray icons. Reprinting a bestseller meant digging through a slicer to figure out which "final_v3" was the right one.

  2. Knowing what stock I actually have. Packing for a festival meant physically going through shelves and bins, because nothing tracked what was printed and where it lives.

So I've been building Meshory, a desktop app for the file side: point it at your folders and it renders a real thumbnail for every STL/3MF, with search, collections (I organize mine by product line), and duplicate detection. Built-in 3D viewer too, including multi-plate Bambu projects, so you can check a model without opening the slicer. Everything stays local on your machine — no cloud, no uploading your paid files anywhere.

The stock side is what I'm working toward next: print lists (production queue), filament inventory, and a finished-prints inventory — quantities by location (shelf, storage bin, market box) with an export, so packing for an event is a checklist instead of a scavenger hunt.

Before I build further: how are you handling this today? Spreadsheets? Nothing? Would a file library + stock tracker in one place actually fit your workflow, or do you keep those separate on purpose? Early-access users are voting on what ships first, so this thread genuinely steers it.

Meshory — a local-first desktop library for 3D print files, battle-tested on my own 3TB 3d models collection

Landing page: https://www.meshory.com

The problem: 3D printing hobbyists accumulate thousands of STL/3MF files that all look like identical gray icons in a file manager.

Meshory scans your folders in place, renders real thumbnails for every mesh, does content-hash duplicate detection, and has a built-in 3D viewer including multi-plate Bambu project support. Local-first — no account, no cloud.

Stack: Electron + Three.js, thumbnail rendering in a worker pool. Waitlist is live, early-access users vote on the roadmap.

Would love feedback on the landing page and the positioning.
