The tools this server listed when we connected to it, in its own words.
list_printers — FREE. Discovery: the live FDM printer fleet (id, name, bed/build volume mm, nozzle), the 12 filament materials (PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, check_printability — FREE 3D-printing DFM / printability check for an STL/3MF/OBJ/PLY model. Paste a link: a GitHub blob, Google Drive or Dropbox share link, a doptimize_orientation — FREE (personal/interactive; fair-use limited — counts as ~4 slices). Orientation optimiser: really slices up to 4 candidate build orientatioanalyze_model — FREE geometry sanity check for an STL/3MF/OBJ/PLY model: bounding box (mm), volume (cm3), triangle count, watertight/manifold flag, fits-on-get_print_quote — FREE. Slicer-accurate FDM price quote from a real slice (not an estimate): print time, filament grams, and a priced quote (material + machinslice_model — Slice on any of the 12 FDM printers. The METRICS — print time, filament grams, layer count, geometry, fits-on-bed and a priced quote — are Fcompare_printers — FREE. Slice the same model across several printers and get a table of print time / filament / cost / fits-on-bed, plus the cheapest and fastrecommend_material — FREE. Suggest the best filament(s) for a use case with plain-language reasons, and (by default) a real slice/quote per candidate so you see recommend_settings — FREE. Suggest layer height / infill / walls for a goal (strength | speed | surface | cost) and slice WITH those settings so you see the resuwhatif_infill — FREE. A quick table of print time / filament / cost across several infill %s, so you can trade strength for material/time. Paste a link: a Gscale_advisor — FREE. Report the new dimensions / time / filament / cost after scaling a model. target: 'fit-bed' (largest uniform scale that fits the printvalidate_model — FREE, fast, uncapped. One-shot 'is this printable?': watertight/manifold, wall-thickness estimate, size vs the chosen bed, and a printabilitcost_breakdown — FREE. Break a quote into material vs machine-time vs setup vs margin, in your currency and filament price (bring your own pricing). Paste a analyze_3d_model — FREE general 3D-model analysis — bounding box, volume, triangle count, watertight/manifold, solidity — useful BEYOND 3D printing: game-assetNot tested by KitScout yet. When our harness runs it, pros, cons and the tasks we tried appear here, with the date and evidence.
