Kiln is an open-source MCP server that lets AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, or any custom MCP client) drive real 3D printers end to end — OctoPrint, Moonraker/Klipper, Creality, Bambu Lab, Prusa Link, Elegoo, and Direct USB.
In a single conversation, an agent can design a part, slice it, queue it on the right printer, monitor the camera, recover from failures, and ship the result. No human in the middle.
pip install kiln3d
"a coaster with a photo of my dog Ash" — start to finish, from one sentence.
Watch the demo →
Three steps. Then ask your AI to make something.
1. Install
pip install kiln3d2. Connect your AI — paste this into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP-capable agent:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kiln": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "kiln", "serve"]
}
}
}3. Ask — paste a sentence like this into your agent. Kiln does the rest:
I have a Bambu A1, make me a coaster with my dog's photo on it
That's the whole happy path. The agent invokes Kiln's tools to design, slice, and print — you don't touch a CLI. Full walkthrough at kiln3d.com/install.
Prefer to drive it yourself? (CLI tour)
# Discover printers on your network (mDNS + HTTP probe)
kiln discover
# Add your printer (see the printer table under "Supported Printers")

# Every command supports --json for agent consumption
kiln status --jsonGlobal option: --printer <name> targets a specific printer per command. The full command reference is in Project Docs.
Connect a specific agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, env vars)
Claude Code — add to .claude/settings.json (project) or ~/.claude/settings.json (global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"kiln": { "command": "kiln", "args": ["serve"] }
}
}Claude Code uses your ~/.kiln/config.yaml for printer credentials (set via kiln setup or kiln auth). No env vars needed if a printer is already configured.
Claude Desktop — add to ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kiln": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["-m", "kiln", "serve"],
"env": {
"KILN_PRINTER_HOST": "http://192.168.1.100",
"KILN_PRINTER_API_KEY": "your_key",
"KILN_PRINTER_TYPE": "prusalink"
}
}
}
}Set KILN_PRINTER_TYPE to your backend: octoprint, moonraker, bambu, prusalink, elegoo, or serial — or skip env vars entirely if you've run kiln setup.
Any other LLM (OpenRouter) — Kiln works with any model that supports OpenAI-compatible function calling, not just Claude:
export KILN_OPENROUTER_KEY=sk-or-...
kiln agent --model openai/gpt-4o
kiln agent --model meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct --tier essentialTool tiers auto-match model capability: essential (16 tools) for smaller models, standard (61 tools) for mid-range, full (133 tools) for stronger models. All 808 tools are available over MCP via kiln serve.
Platform & printer setup notes (Linux/WSL 2, Ethernet-only, Bambu)
| Printer | --type |
What you need |
|---|---|---|
| Prusa MK4/XL/Mini+ | prusalink |
IP + API key (Settings › Network › PrusaLink on the LCD) |
| OctoPrint (any printer) | octoprint |
OctoPrint URL + API key (Settings › API) |
| Klipper/Moonraker | moonraker |
Moonraker URL (usually http://<ip>:7125) |
| Creality K1/K2/Hi/Ender V4/V3 KE | creality |
IP + printer_model (e.g. creality_k1_max); probes local Moonraker ports |
| Bambu Lab | bambu |
IP + LAN access code + serial number (all on the LCD) |
| Elegoo (SDCP) | elegoo |
IP only — no auth. Neptune 4 / OrangeStorm Giga use moonraker. |
| Direct USB (Marlin) | serial |
USB cable only — no network. Ender 3, Prusa MK3, CR-10, any Marlin/RepRap printer. |
Kiln only needs IP reachability on your LAN. Ethernet-only printers are fully supported.
Optional tools: PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer for slicing STL → G-code (brew install --cask prusaslicer); OpenSCAD for local text-to-3D generation (brew install openscad); set KILN_GEMINI_API_KEY to enable Gemini-generated geometry.
pipx installs Kiln into its own isolated environment and puts kiln on your PATH. (The pip package is kiln3d; the CLI command is kiln.)
sudo apt install pipx && pipx ensurepath
git clone https://github.com/codeofaxel/Kiln.git && cd Kiln
pipx install ./kiln
sudo apt install prusa-slicer openscad # optional: slicing + generation
kiln verify
# Update / uninstall
git pull && pipx install --force ./kiln
pipx uninstall kiln3dWSL 2 networking: WSL 2 uses NAT, so mDNS discovery (kiln discover) won't see printers on your home network. Connect directly by IP instead (same as Ethernet-only setups).
Kiln works the same over Ethernet and Wi-Fi — it talks to printer APIs over LAN IP. Verify the printer endpoint responds, then register by IP:
curl http://<ip>/api/version # OctoPrint
curl http://<ip>:7125/server/info # Moonraker / Creality (local Moonraker)
curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" http://<ip>/api/v1/status # Prusa Link
# Bambu uses MQTT — ensure port 8883 is reachable: nc -zv <ip> 8883
kiln auth --name my-printer --host http://<ip> --type prusalink --api-key YOUR_KEYIf PrusaSlicer isn't on your PATH: export KILN_SLICER_PATH=/path/to/prusa-slicer.
Kiln pins the printer certificate (TOFU) on first connection in ~/.kiln/bambu_tls_pins.json. Overrides:
export KILN_BAMBU_TLS_MODE=ca # strict CA/hostname (usually fails on stock self-signed printers)
export KILN_BAMBU_TLS_MODE=insecure # legacy, no validation — trusted LANs only
export KILN_BAMBU_TLS_FINGERPRINT=0123abcd... # explicit SHA-256 pinWebcam capture is model-dependent: A1, A1 Mini, P1P, P1S serve frames over TLS+JPEG (no extra software). The X1 series (X1C, X1E) serves RTSPS, which Kiln relays via ffmpeg — so on an X1, both snapshots and the live stream need ffmpeg (brew install ffmpeg / sudo apt install ffmpeg). can_snapshot is reported True for every Bambu model; on an X1 without ffmpeg, the attempt surfaces a clear model-specific error rather than failing silently.
Paid tiers (kiln3d.com/pricing) add Git-for-3D versioning, product templates, assembly manuals, fleet workflows, SSO + SCIM, ERP webhooks, and long-term audit logs.
- One control plane, any printer — OctoPrint, Moonraker, Creality, Bambu Lab, Prusa Link, Elegoo, Serial. Manage a mixed fleet from one place.
- No printer? No problem — Outsource jobs to Craftcloud's 150+ manufacturing services through the hosted proxy, or use direct mode with your own provider credentials.
- AI-native — 815 MCP capabilities and 222 CLI commands built for AI agents. Not a web UI with an API bolted on.
- Describe it, print it — Natural-language to physical object pipeline: text or sketch → AI generation → validation → slice → print.
- Decorate anything — QR codes, photos, logos, text, SVGs, and procedural textures (tiger stripe, marble, camo, wood grain, honeycomb) embossed or debossed onto any model with one command.
- Manuals included — Multi-part prints can generate printable PDF assembly manuals with Bill of Materials, isometric step renders, mating arrows, and pause-and-check verification gates. (Pro)
- Resume, don't restart — Cancelled or failed print? Resume from the exact layer it stopped on any supported FDM printer. No filament wasted. (Pro)
- Modify mid-print — Add decorations, append features, or swap materials on a live print with atomic revert if anything goes wrong. (Pro)
- Smart material routing — 25 materials, 45 brand-specific filament profiles (Bambu, Prusament, Polymaker, and more) across 11 material families. Intent-based recommendations with printer capability awareness.
- Prints don't fail silently — Cross-printer learning, automatic failure recovery, closed-loop AI generation feedback (failed prints auto-improve future generations), preflight safety checks on every job.
- Search → Slice → Print — Search and download 3D models from MyMiniFactory and Cults3D (search only), auto-slice with PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer, print — all from one agent conversation.
- Safety at scale — 44 named per-printer safety profiles, G-code validation, heater watchdog, tamper-proof audit logs. Enterprise adds encrypted G-code at rest with key rotation, lockable profiles, RBAC, SSO, fleet site grouping, per-project cost tracking, and PostgreSQL HA.

Agents can also outsource jobs through Craftcloud fulfillment and search models on MyMiniFactory and Cults3D (search only). On Pro and up, the design store itself is versioned — branches, signed releases, and cross-machine cloud sync are first-class outputs of the system, not a side database.
Designs aren't text, but they need version control. Kiln treats meshes, decorations, and mechanical features as first-class versioned artifacts: branch a design, print variants, merge what works, sign releases with cryptographic proof the mesh hasn't changed.
Three things make this different from git:
- Outcome-correlated branches. Every branch is tagged with empirical print results — success rate, warp, adhesion, cost — so cross-branch A/B is automatic, not anecdotal.
- 3-way semantic mesh merge. Z-level / pocket / bounding-box conflict zones rendered as visual diffs, not text patches. Manufacturing tolerance, not character offsets.
- Signed releases with mesh re-fingerprinting. Ed25519 signatures over a release manifest pinned to an exact mesh; verification re-computes the fingerprint to detect tamper after release.
Here's what visualize_branch_tree("my-coaster") actually emits — the same renderer the workshop, CLI, and your agent see (yellow = signed release, light blue = experiment, light red = branch with failed outcomes):

Search → download → print. Kiln searches MyMiniFactory and Cults3D (search only) in one call via search_all_models, downloads where supported, and uploads straight to a printer — a full design-to-print loop with no human in the middle. (Thingiverse is supported but deprecated since its Feb 2026 acquisition by MyMiniFactory; prefer MMF.) Marketplace access uses free API keys (KILN_MMF_API_KEY, KILN_CULTS3D_USERNAME + KILN_CULTS3D_API_KEY).
AI model generation. Set any provider key and it's available instantly — KILN_MESHY_API_KEY, KILN_TRIPO3D_API_KEY, KILN_STABILITY_API_KEY, KILN_GEMINI_API_KEY — or use local OpenSCAD with no key. Generated meshes are auto-validated for printability (manifold, triangle count, bounding box) before printing. kiln generate renders a 3-view preview by default.
Slicing. Wraps PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer for headless slicing; auto-detects installed slicers on PATH, macOS app bundles, or via KILN_SLICER_PATH. Supports STL, 3MF, STEP, OBJ, AMF with material-aware temps and smart supports.
Fulfillment (no printer required). Print through Craftcloud's network — quote, validate address, confirm, order, track — or run alongside your own printers for overflow and specialty materials. Normal users go through the hosted proxy (credentials stay server-side, spend limits enforced); operators can use direct mode with KILN_FULFILLMENT_PROVIDER=craftcloud + KILN_CRAFTCLOUD_API_KEY.
Decoration & textures. Emboss or deboss QR codes, photos, logos, text, and SVGs onto any model face, or apply procedural textures (tiger stripe, marble, camo, wood grain, honeycomb) with a single tool call.
All local printing is free forever — status, file management, slicing, fleet control, and printing to your own printers cost nothing. Kiln charges a 5% orchestration fee on orders placed through external manufacturing services (first 3/month free, $0.25 min / $200 max per order), shown transparently in every quote.
| Tier | Price | Headline |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Unlimited local printing, slicing, marketplace search, safety profiles, one printer, design intelligence, linear design history. |
| Pro | $49/mo | Git-for-3D branching/signed releases, product templates, procedural textures, mid-print modification, print resume, failure recovery, assembly manuals, solo cloud sync. |
| Business | $199/mo | Commercial use, 3 printers + 3 seats, fleet management, cross-printer learning, QR generation, team pull requests, approval gates, fulfillment, webhooks. |
| Enterprise | Contact us | Large fleets, SSO/SCIM, RBAC, audit trail, encrypted G-code at rest, white-label manuals, 99.9% SLA, on-prem/VPC. |

Kiln is safety-first infrastructure for controlling physical machines:
- Pre-flight checks validate printer state, temperatures, and files before every print
- G-code validation blocks dangerous commands (firmware reset, unsafe temperatures)
- Temperature limits enforce safe maximums (300 °C hotend, 130 °C bed)
- Confirmation required for destructive operations (cancel, raw G-code)
- Optional authentication with scope-based API keys for multi-user setups
- Structured errors ensure agents always know when something fails

Messaging clarification (February 24, 2026): We clarified wording to remove ambiguity and align with existing intent; no strategy change. Kiln is orchestration and agent infrastructure for fabrication workflows. Kiln does not operate a first-party decentralized manufacturing marketplace/network. Kiln integrates with third-party providers and external provider/network adapters as integrations are available.
Non-goals: operating a first-party decentralized manufacturing marketplace/network; replacing partner supply-side networks; owning provider marketplaces instead of integrating with them; acting as merchant of record for provider-routed manufacturing orders.
