print3d
An agent plugin that turns a brief or a photo into a sliced Bambu Lab print job, with mesh checks and a printable handoff sheet.
What it does and how it connects
print3d is a Hermes Agent plugin that turns an idea, a photo of an object, or the shop listing of something to buy into a sliced print project for a Bambu Lab X2D or P2S with a 0.4 mm nozzle through Bambu Studio, or an Elegoo Centauri Carbon or Centauri Carbon 2 through ElegooSlicer. It also works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI. Nothing in it talks to the printer.
The agent writes a Blender script that builds the part. print3d runs it, checks the mesh, slices it with the printer's slicer, and tells the agent what to fix. The agent repeats until every check passes, then hands over the .3mf to open in the slicer and print from there. Every run also writes a 3D view page with rotate, zoom, explode and measure, and a print sheet to hand on.
The plugin brings two things: the print3d tools as an MCP server, and the print3d skill, the workflow the agent follows from brief to hand-off. Jobs go to a local jobs folder, and the README documents a benchmark run that recreates a museum clothes peg from a photo, scaled from the ruler beside it.
What engineers report
A part brief that states all three axes gets the size of its first number on every axis.

Creates, edits and slices native Bambu Studio 3MF projects without the GUI, rather than turning a brief or photo into a sliced print job.
- bambu-studio-ai
An agent skill for 3D printing on Bambu Lab machines that finds models, slices and manages print jobs, rather than a plugin that models a part from a brief.
- VibeShape
A local-first browser CAD for parametric sketch to B-Rep solid to print, rather than an agent plugin that models from a brief or photo.
- partforge (pixiteapps)
Turns a part description into a shareable parametric web app with STL, STEP and 3MF export, rather than a sliced print job with a handoff sheet.
Recurring errors it addresses
Error Index entries this tool is built to reduce or work around.
- Rotating the prime tower 90 degrees makes the collision checker report a conflict with the model even though the emitted tower is clear, traced to a coordinate transform mismatch.Error Index
- a 3D-printer MCP safety check treats nozzle stat 1 as a fault, but a Bambu H2D on stock firmware reports stat 1 in normal use, so every print is refused; a declined confirmation separately produces an error pointing at the wrong fix.Error Index
- Bambu Studio silently throws away saved settings on foreign or generic 3MF files, which is why the MCP rejects non-native 3MF before running.Error Index
