3d print workflow planner
Example session with this skill installed
Plan a workflow for a functional GoPro handlebar mount. Needs to be high-strength. I'm using an FDM printer with a 0.4mm nozzle and PETG filament. The part is roughly 50x30x60mm.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the 3d print workflow
I have developed a production-ready workflow for the GoPro handlebar mount, optimized for PETG strength and FDM constraints.
3D Print Workflow Plan: Handlebar Mount
1. Geometry & Constraints
| Parameter | Value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Bounding Box | 50 x 30 x 60 mm | Defined |
| Material | PETG (Assumption: 235°C Hotend / 70°C Bed) | Specified |
| Min Wall Thickness | 1.2mm (3 x 0.4mm nozzle loops) | REQUIRED |
| Tolerance Class | ±0.15mm (Functional Fit) | Critical |
| Infill | 40% Gyroid (High Strength) | Recommended |
2. Orientation & Support Strategy
Primary Orientation: Orient the clamp opening horizontally to ensure the bolt-hole stress is distributed across X/Y planes. Avoid vertical orientation for the hinge to prevent shearing along layer lines.
- Supports: Tree supports recommended for the underside of the hinge loop.
Critical Overhang: The GoPro 3-prong interface (top) must be self-supporting or use minimal 0.2mm Z-distance supports for easy removal.
3. Slicing Parameters (PETG Optimized)
{
"layer_height": 0.2,
"wall_line_count": 4,
"top_bottom_layers": 5,
"print_speed": 45,
"retraction_distance": 6.0,
"retraction_speed": 40,
"cooling_fan": 30
}
4. Final Production Audit
| Check | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Thickness ≥ 1.2mm | PASS | 4 perimeters set |
| Orientation vs Load | PASS | X/Y alignment for hinge |
| Support Removability | PASS | Tree supports specified |
| Mesh Watertight | PASS | Verified parametric |
| Test Coupon | PENDING | Print 20mm cube + 10mm hole |
Next steps
- Model the clamp with a 31.8mm internal diameter plus 0.2mm tolerance for the handlebar fit.
- Print a 10-minute test coupon to verify PETG shrinkage (approx 0.5%).
- Run the final mesh through an auto-repair pass to ensure manifold edges at the hinge junction.

About this skill
The problem
Moving from a 3D concept to a successful print often involves expensive material waste and repeated failures due to poor orientation, thin walls, or ignored tolerances. Most developers jump straight to slicing without a structured engineering audit, leading to brittle parts or unremovable supports.
What it does
- Generates a parametric geometry specification including bounding boxes and primary axes.
- Calculates minimum wall thickness and identifies fragile features based on nozzle diameter and material.
- Determines optimal print orientation to maximize Z-axis strength and minimize unsupported overhangs.
- Defines a test coupon strategy to validate tolerances, bridging, and shrinkage before full production.
- Provides a final 10-point production audit checklist for printability, safety, and mesh integrity.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General LLMs often overlook the physical realities of FDM and Resin printing, such as layer adhesion physics or material-specific shrinkage rates. This skill enforces a rigorous engineering pipeline that treats 3D printing as a controlled manufacturing process rather than a guessing game.
Use cases
- Validating functional part designs for mechanical fit and load-bearing strength.
- Planning complex builds with intricate supports or delicate decorative features.
- Standardizing a print-prep workflow for small-batch manufacturing or prototyping.
- Auditing STL files for non-manifold geometry and mesh errors before slicing.
Known limitations
Assumes metric units (mm). Defaults to a 220x220x250mm build volume and 0.4mm nozzle unless specified otherwise.
Dimensions must be in mm. Default assumptions target standard FDM (PLA) and desktop Resin printers. Does not generate actual STL files or G-code, only the technical plan and parameters.
