find-stl
Search and download ready-to-print 3D model files (STL/3MF/ZIP) for a concept or specific part by querying Printables (first). Use when an agent needs to find an existing model, capture license/attribution, download the source files, and output a local folder + manifest for quoting/printing.
Best use case
find-stl is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# find-stl This skill provides a deterministic pipeline: - search Printables for models - select a candidate - download model files - write a `manifest.json` (source URL, author, license id, files, hashes) ## Quick start ### Search ```bash python3 scripts/find_stl.py search "iphone 15 pro dock" --limit 10 ``` ### Fetch ```bash python3 scripts/find_stl.py fetch 1059554 --outdir out/models ``` By default, fetch downloads **all model files** (a ZIP pack) when available. ## Notes - Printables download links are time-limited; this script resolves them via Printables GraphQL (`getDownloadLink`). - Always preserve license + attribution in the manifest. ## Resources - `scripts/find_stl.py`
