Kiln
AI agent control of 3D printers — 915 MCP capabilities + 242 CLI commands.
What it does
Kiln gives AI agents (Claude, GPT, OpenClaw, custom) safe, direct control of 3D printers through the Model Context Protocol. One install and your agent can search model marketplaces, generate designs from text/sketches, slice STL/3MF files, queue prints, monitor progress with camera snapshots, manage multi-printer fleets, and estimate costs — all from a single conversation.
Supported printers
- Bambu Lab — A1, A1 Mini, P1S, P1P, X1C (MQTT + FTP)
- OctoPrint — Any printer running OctoPrint
- Moonraker/Klipper — Voron, Ender, etc.
- Creality — K1/K2/Hi/Ender V3 KE-class printers when local Moonraker is reachable; older Marlin models via OctoPrint or serial
- Prusa Link — MK4, Mini, XL
- Elegoo — Saturn, Mars, Centauri Carbon (SDCP V2 + V3)
Install
pip install kiln3d
Or with pipx:
pipx install kiln3d
