What does PegBloom do?
PegBloom adds printable pegboard hook geometry to a mounting face on your own 3D model. You select the surface, choose the hook positions and export the combined result.

PegBloom FAQ
The essentials about turning an existing printable model into a SKÅDIS-compatible object.
Which file formats can I use?
You can open 3MF or STL files and export the result as 3MF or STL. 3MF is the recommended default because it preserves millimetre units and useful metadata.
Is the result compatible with IKEA SKÅDIS?
PegBloom is designed around the SKÅDIS slot pattern and hook fit. Printer and material tolerances vary, so make a small test print before producing a large or load-bearing part.
What are mounting islands?
Mounting islands create a controlled spacer between the object and the hooks. PegBloom can require them when part of the model would otherwise touch the board before the hooks can engage.
Which surfaces are suitable?
Use a sufficiently large, nearly flat surface with a clear path behind every selected hook. Curved areas, narrow edges and geometry above a mounting island can make a position unavailable.
Is my model uploaded?
No. PegBloom opens, modifies and exports the geometry locally in your browser. The model geometry and filename are not sent to PegBloom.
Is PegBloom affiliated with IKEA?
No. PegBloom is an independent compatibility tool. IKEA and SKÅDIS are trademarks of their respective owners and PegBloom is not sponsored, authorized or endorsed by IKEA.
