   Reddit user has Claude build a self-hosted 3D printer server, printhub

   Reddit user /u/Greedy-Duck posted in r/ClaudeAI that, rather than spend time learning the software, they had Claude pick a 3D printer and handle the software side. According to the post, Claude chose a QIDI Q2 after determining it runs Klipper/Moonraker with a usable API, then built a self-hosted server called printhub that turns plain-English requests into Printables searches and OrcaSlicer slices with official Q2 profiles, showing time, grams and cost before printing on the user's approval. The post also describes guardrails (no raw G-code, no start if the loaded filament doesn't match the slice), phone alerts via ntfy, a Proxmox container with the printer firewalled and Tailscale remote access, and a request page where the user's partner submits jobs for approval.

   text-to-cad plugin gives coding agents local CAD generation and DFM checks

   text-to-cad is an agent plugin that adds local CAD workflows: it generates 3D models as STEP, GLB, STL or 3MF from plain-language or image requests, runs design-for-manufacturing checks, produces dimensioned engineering drawings, and connects to 3D printing, sheet metal and CNC fabrication services. It installs into Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini and Grok Build — any agent supporting plugins or the skills framework — or as skills alone via npx skills add; it runs through uv and downloads the cadgen runtime on first start. Skills cover CAD, off-the-shelf STEP parts, engineering drawings, DXF, URDF/SRDF, SDF, SendCutSend pre-upload checks, DfAM printability checks, OrcaSlicer G-code and Bambu Lab printing.
