Why RISER 3D?
RISER 3D is the only online tool that lets you design and 3D print custom skateboard riser pads in minutes. Whether you're a street skater optimizing wheel bite clearance, a cruiser rider adjusting truck geometry, or a surfskate enthusiast dialing in carve, RISER 3D gives you complete control over your setup.
Custom risers solve a real problem: off-the-shelf risers come in limited sizes (usually 6mm or 10mm), forcing riders to compromise on their perfect setup. With RISER 3D, you can dial in your exact riser height from 0.1mm to 50mm, add wedge angles for truck tuning, and choose from multiple base shapes — all without requiring any design or CAD experience.
Print your design in PETG for durability, use PLA for test fits, or share your setup with the community. It's completely free, no account needed.

How It Works
Design a 3D printed skateboard riser pad in three steps.
1. Choose a Base Shape
Pick a cutout, solid, wedge, or cruiser base. Each shape is sized for standard truck bolt patterns — New School (1.625") and Old School (2.5") holes are both supported.
2. Set Height & Angle
Dial in front and rear height from 0.1mm to 50mm. Add a wedge angle to change the effective kingpin angle of your trucks — useful for carving setups, surfskate, and longboard.
3. Export STL & Print
Download a print-ready STL file. Print in PETG at 100% infill for a durable outdoor riser pad. PLA works for test fits. No account required — completely free.
What Is a Skateboard Riser Pad?
Understanding wheel bite, truck geometry, and when to use risers.
The Problem: Wheel Bite
When you turn hard, the wheels can contact the underside of your deck — this is wheel bite, and it's dangerous. It can throw you off balance mid-carve or stop your wheel mid-trick. The tighter your trucks, the bigger your wheels, or the lighter your setup, the higher your risk of wheel bite.
A skateboard riser pad is a rectangular pad placed between the truck baseplate and the deck. By raising the deck away from the wheels, risers solve wheel bite. They also change how your trucks feel by adjusting the effective kingpin angle.
Flat vs. Wedge Risers
Flat risers add uniform height without changing truck angle — the standard choice for street skating and cruising.
Wedge risers (angled risers) have different front and rear thicknesses, which changes the effective lean angle of the truck. Wedging the front truck makes it more responsive; wedging the rear adds stability. Surfskate and longboard setups often use wedge risers to achieve more aggressive carving.
Why 3D Print Your Risers?
Off-the-shelf risers come in just 6mm or 10mm — one size fits a few setups, but not yours. RISER 3D lets you design risers with your exact specifications:
- Precision height: 0.1mm increments from 0.1mm to 50mm
- Custom shape: Cutout, solid, wedge, or cruiser profiles
- Wedge angles: Front and rear angles for truck tuning
- Material choice: PETG for durability, PLA for test fits
- Cost: A single custom riser costs pennies to print
RISER 3D lets you design both flat and wedge riser pads with your own shape, then export them as STL files ready for a 3D printer. Custom cutout shapes reduce weight; solid shapes maximize durability. All common truck hole patterns are supported.
