Generate print-ready parametric 3D models with CadQuery, export STLs, and follow a progressive preview workflow for iteration and printability checks.
This skill guides an agent to produce parametric 3D-printable models using CadQuery (Python). It structures a three-phase workflow (base shape, features, final delivery), enforces parameter-first scripts, exports consistent STLs/STEP, and provides preview/render hooks and print recommendations. The skill includes practical rules for tolerances, fillets, hollowing patterns, and common CadQuery pitfalls.
Use when a user requests a real-world, manufacturable 3D object (enclosure, bracket, mount, adapter) intended for FDM printing. Triggers include mentions of '3D print', 'STL', 'CadQuery', 'snap-fit', printer brands (Bambu, Prusa), tolerances, or questions about design-for-print. Avoid for purely digital/visual 3D work (rendering, game assets).
Agents that can run Python and manage file artifacts (Claude Code, Codex/CoPilot-style agents, and CLI-capable agents) will be most compatible. The skill expects a runtime that can execute cadquery scripts and render previews headlessly.
Well-crafted CadQuery parametric 3D printing skill with detailed phased workflow, printability guidance, and FDM design defaults. SKILL.md is comprehensive with clear triggers, parameter conventions, and common pitfalls. No scripts were bundled for execution. References external modules (gridfinity.py, preview.py, run_cadquery_model.py) that weren't included in the fetch. Security posture is clean — no credential exposure, destructive commands, or exfiltration risks.
Solid skill for the 3D printing / maker audience. Main gap is that referenced helper scripts and modules aren't bundled in the audit payload, making it hard to evaluate the full runtime behavior. The SKILL.md alone is very thorough and well-written.
