| description | Publish or share a 3D model — upload to GitHub Releases, Thingiverse, MyMiniFactory, Cults3D, or search for existing models. Use when the user wants to share, publish, or find 3D models. |
Model Publishing & Discovery
Help the user publish their 3D models or discover existing models from the community.
Workflow — Publishing
- Call
list_models to see available models
- Confirm which model and platform the user wants to publish to
- Call
export_model to ensure both STL and STEP files are generated
- Optionally call
export_drawing to generate a technical drawing for the listing
- Call the appropriate publish tool
- Help the user write a good title, description, and tags
Workflow — Discovery
- Call
search_models with the user's query to find existing models
- Present results with titles, authors, download counts, and URLs
- If the user wants to remix, suggest using
import_model to bring it into the session
Publishing Tools
| Tool | Platform | Auth Required |
|---|
publish_github_release | GitHub Releases | gh CLI or GITHUB_TOKEN |
publish_thingiverse | Thingiverse | THINGIVERSE_TOKEN env var |
publish_myminifactory | MyMiniFactory | MYMINIFACTORY_TOKEN env var |
publish_cults3d | Cults3D | CULTS3D_API_KEY env var |
Discovery Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|
search_models | Search Thingiverse for existing models (requires THINGIVERSE_API_KEY) |
Tips
- Always export both STL and STEP formats before publishing
- Suggest descriptive tags for discoverability (material, use case, printer type)
- Include dimensions and material recommendations in the description
- Add print settings (layer height, infill, supports) to help other users
- GitHub Releases is the easiest to set up — just needs
gh CLI authenticated
- Generate a
section_view or export_drawing to include as documentation images
