Printpal 3d

Generate 3D models for 3D printing from images or text prompts using PrintPal API. Use when the user wants to create 3D printable models, convert images to STL/GLB/OBJ files, or generate 3D assets from text descriptions. Supports text-to-image via WaveSpeed when WAVESPEED_API_KEY is configured. Works with file paths, URLs, or images pasted directly into chat.

File contents

PrintPal 3D Model Generator

Generate 3D models from images or text prompts for 3D printing.

Quick Start

From an image path or URL:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_3d.py --image /path/to/image.png

From text prompt:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_3d.py --prompt "a cute robot toy"

Workflow

Get the image:
- If user provides a file path → use it directly
- If user provides a URL → download it
- If user pastes an image → use it directly (it will be available as a file path or URL in context)
- If user provides text → generate image via WaveSpeed first
Generate 3D model:
- Use PrintPal API with super quality (768 cubed)
- Default output format: STL
- Save to printpal-output/ directory in workspace
Provide downloads:
- Start file server if needed
- Return clickable URLs

Default Settings

Setting	Default	Options
Quality	super	default, high, ultra, super, super_texture, superplus, superplus_texture
Format	stl	stl, glb, obj, ply, fbx

Scripts

generate_3d.py

Main script for generating 3D models.

python3 scripts/generate_3d.py [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -i, --image PATH      Input image file path or URL
  -p, --prompt TEXT     Text prompt (uses WaveSpeed to generate image first)
  -q, --quality TEXT    Quality level (default: super)
  -f, --format TEXT     Output format (default: stl)
  -o, --output-dir DIR  Output directory
  --json                Output results as JSON

serve_files.py

Start HTTP server for file downloads.

python3 scripts/serve_files.py [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -d, --directory DIR   Directory to serve (default: printpal-output/)
  -p, --port PORT       Port number (default: 8765)

Quality Levels

Quality	Resolution	Credits	Est. Time
default	256³	4	20 sec
high	384³	6	30 sec
ultra	512³	8	60 sec
super	768³	20	3 min
superplus	1024³	30	4 min

Output Formats

Format	Best For
STL	3D printing (default)
GLB	Web/games
OBJ	Universal compatibility
PLY	Point clouds
FBX	Autodesk software

API Keys

Required environment variables (configure in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under env):

PRINTPAL_API_KEY - Get from https://printpal.io/api-keys
WAVESPEED_API_KEY - Get from https://wavespeed.ai/accesskey (optional, for text-to-image)

Output Directory

Files are saved to printpal-output/ in the workspace.

Error Handling

Error	Solution
WAVESPEED_API_KEY not set	Provide image directly or configure API key
PRINTPAL_API_KEY not set	Configure in OpenClaw settings
Insufficient credits	Purchase at printpal.io/buy-credits
Package not installed	Run `pip install printpal wavespeed`
