Updates, releases, and announcements from the Kiln project.
Printers show up on their own: Bambu Lab machines now appear in a network scan, and prints go to the right AMS spool automatically. The anonymous learning that sharpens Kiln never gets lost when the network drops. On Kiln Pro, turn on cloud sync just by asking, and imported multi-part models get their own parts manual.
Read the full post →Engraving text into your prints just works now: the carve depth matches your nozzle, the right flip is picked for you, a check catches text that would print backwards before you slice, and you get an auto preview of the finished face. On Kiln Pro, Kiln keeps an eye on each printer’s nozzle wear and factors it into failure analysis, material recommendations, and recovery.
Read the full post →Kiln now runs on a stock Windows machine — CLI, install, and OpenSCAD design generation — with a copy-paste prompt that hands the whole setup to an AI agent. Plus sharper overhang verdicts (cantilevers and floating islands correctly keep their supports flag), honest AMS Lite filament readings on the Bambu A1 and A1 mini, and safety messages in plain language.
Read the full post →Two releases in one. Vision-detected mid-print failures now drive auto-recovery on Pro, hole-aware printability learns your printer’s drift, and adhesion analysis flags tall narrow towers before the print starts. Saved design goals carry through reprints and version saves, and free-tier discovery tools return real results on every install.
Read the full post →A tighter loop between your AI agent and your 3D printer: clearer camera-monitoring events, better in-print failure detection on Pro, and a kiln health command that repairs its own broken paths after a Python reinstall. Plus a handful of polish fixes across the agent and web surfaces.
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: Git-for-3D workflows, recovery, decoration, assembly manuals, and a repository-style web workshop for physical objects — one interface for OctoPrint, Moonraker, Bambu Lab, Elegoo, and Prusa Link.
Read the full post →Kiln ships to PyPI, ClawHub, and the MCP Registry simultaneously — one command to install for 3D printer control. pip install kiln3d, clawhub install kiln, or search "kiln" in your MCP client. All three paths, same destination.
Kiln now covers the entire loop — from AI-generated 3D models to validated prints to marketplace revenue. Generation registry, printability analysis, auto-orientation, marketplace publishing with print certificates, revenue tracking, intelligent failure recovery, and more.

Read the full post →Two users printed coasters end-to-end with AI agents — different agents, different printer brands (Bambu Lab A1 Mini and Prusa Mini), no human intervention. Here's what happened, with video.
Read the full post →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 safety profiles built in.
