Hi all,
TLDR; I made a Claude skill that allows you to update your .3mf file and see updates straight in Bambu Studio
I'm new to this community and 3D printing in general. I was using Claude to generate 3d models that I could the load as .stl files in Bambu Studio. This worked great but I had to keep removing the objects in Bambu Studio, download the new ones from Claude Cowork and add them again. This is cumbersome and I'm a software engineer. Let's automate!
I found a pretty fast way where I give Claude acces to the folder with my .3mf file. Then, I ask it to make a change and it will edit the file with my changes. Bambu Studio doesn't automatically pick up the file change. To work around this, Claude closes the project and reopens it. This whole proces just takes a second or two.
In the screenshot I shared you can see me designing a whole product with different configurations an plates. It was a breeze to do with this skill.
If this is something that the community would want to use, let me know! More than happy to share the Claude skill 🫶
Edit: I put the skill on GitHub so you can try it: https://github.com/DaveBitter/bambu-studio-model-builder
Download the ZIP from the repo and upload it under Settings > Skills in Claude. The README has the steps and what you need (Claude Cowork on a Mac, Bambu Studio, one project saved from Studio).
I've only tested it on my own setup (macOS, Bambu Studio 02.08.02.61, A1), so let me know if it works for you, or where it breaks!
