What This Skill Does

Generates 3D printable models from images or text prompts using the PrintPal API. Outputs STL, GLB, OBJ, PLY, or FBX files at configurable quality levels. Also generates SEO product listings and product photos for selling prints on marketplaces like Etsy.

Handles the full pipeline from text or image to downloadable 3D file without requiring manual 3D modeling software.

When to use it

  • Converting a product photo into a printable STL file
  • Generating a custom toy figurine from a text description
  • Batch-creating 3D assets from reference images for prototyping
  • Producing SEO titles, tags, and product photos for Etsy listings
  • Turning a logo or flat artwork into a 3D printable object

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: Turn this image of a cat into a 3D printable model

AGENT
  1. 1Receive the image file path or URL from the user
  2. 2Call PrintPal API with super quality (768³ resolution) and STL format
  3. 3Save the generated file to the printpal-output/ directory
  4. 4Start a local file server via serve_files.py
  5. 5Return a clickable download URL for the STL file
OUTPUT

A downloadable STL file ready for 3D printing, served at http://127.0.0.1:8765
