Updates, releases, and announcements from the Kiln project.
Per-printer calibration grounding — Kiln reads your existing OrcaSlicer / Bambu Studio /
PrusaSlicer profile and uses it on every slice, then keeps learning from every print
(Pro). Plus a dedicated tablet_stand template (iPads tip backward when
stuck on phone-stand bases), engineering depth on all 18 design templates with the
formulas baked in, and a tier diagnostic that just answers "what plan am I on?"
Kiln 1.0 is real infrastructure, not an experiment: 756 MCP tools, 763 total MCP capabilities, 215 CLI commands, Git-for-3D workflows, recovery, decoration, assembly manuals, and a repository-style web workshop for physical objects.
Read the full post →Kiln v0.2.1 ships to PyPI, ClawHub, and the MCP Registry simultaneously — 273 tools for 3D printer control, one command to install. pip install kiln3d. clawhub install kiln. Search "kiln" in your MCP client. All three paths, same destination.
Read the full post →Kiln now covers the entire loop — from AI-generated 3D models to validated prints to marketplace revenue. 12 new subsystems, 413 new tests, zero compromises. Generation registry, printability analysis, auto-orientation, marketplace publishing with print certificates, revenue tracking with orchestration fees, intelligent failure recovery, and more.
Read the full post →Kiln now supports outsourced 3D printing through Craftcloud's network of 150+ print services — FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF, and metal. Your AI agent can get quotes and place orders through the hosted fulfillment path or direct mode with your own provider credentials.
Read the full post →Chris and Dillon used AI agents to print coasters end-to-end — different agents (Wren and Clawdence), different printer brands (Bambu Lab A1 Mini and Prusa Mini), no human intervention. Here's what happened, with video.
Read the full post →Today I'm releasing Kiln — open-source infrastructure that lets AI agents safely control 3D printers. It's free, it runs locally, and it's available right now. One interface for OctoPrint, Moonraker, Bambu Lab, Elegoo, and Prusa Link with 197 MCP tools, 88 CLI commands, and safety profiles for 30 printer models.
