3D Printing Skill

Control the complete 3D printing workflow: slicing models, managing presets, uploading to printer, and monitoring jobs.

Configuration

Presets are stored in ~/.casterly/config/3d-printing.yaml. The configuration includes:

• Filament presets: Material-specific settings (temperature, flow, retraction)
• Quality presets: Layer height, speed, infill settings
• Printer settings: Network address, API endpoints

Workflow

1. Find or Receive Model

Use find_models to search for 3D model files:

find_models("/Users/name/Downloads", "benchy", recursive=true)

Supported formats: .stl, .3mf, .obj

2. Choose Presets

List available presets:

list_presets("all")

Common filament presets:

• pla_basic - Standard PLA settings
• pla_plus - Enhanced PLA for better layer adhesion
• petg_standard - PETG with typical settings
• petg_strong - Higher temp PETG for strength
• abs_standard - ABS with enclosure settings
• tpu_flexible - TPU for flexible prints

Common quality presets:

• draft - 0.3mm layer, fast printing
• standard - 0.2mm layer, balanced
• fine - 0.12mm layer, detailed
• ultra_fine - 0.08mm layer, maximum detail

3. Slice the Model

slice_model(
  model_path="/path/to/model.stl",
  filament_preset="pla_basic",
  quality_preset="standard",
  output_description="benchy test print"
)

This will:

1. Load the model and presets
2. Slice using OrcaSlicer CLI
3. Save to ~/.casterly/prints/YYYY-MM-DD_description/
4. Store both original model and generated gcode

4. Upload and Print

Upload the sliced gcode:

upload_to_printer("/path/to/output.gcode")

Start the print:

start_print("output.gcode")
