Skadisgen (SKÅDIS Peg Generator)

About this generator

Skadisgen adds IKEA SKADIS pegs to a model you already have, so you can hang it on a SKADIS pegboard without designing the hooks yourself. You load a STEP or STL file, click a flat face, and the tool fills it with pegs on the SKADIS grid: 40 mm apart in each row, 20 mm between rows, with every other row shifted by half a step. A 3D preview shows the pegs on your model before you export.

You pick one of three peg fits. Snug holds best but is hard to push in, so the maker recommends it only for models with a few pegs, printed with stronger walls and infill. Normal suits most models, and Loose is easier to move and is meant for models with many pegs or a less accurate printer. Layout settings set the area the pegs cover, in pegs, millimeters or inches, plus padding, an offset and which row gets the center peg. A removal mode lets you click away single pegs, and buttons and sliders turn the peg direction if the tool picks the wrong one.

A STEP model exports as STEP or STL; an STL model exports as STL only, and the maker calls STL input experimental. The tool is free, needs no account and runs in your browser. The code and the three peg models are on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, which covers the code and peg files; the model you add pegs to keeps its own license. It is a new tool from July 2026 by one maker. It suits anyone with a SKADIS board who has a holder, bin or box that should hang on it.
