Kiln is Now One Install Away from Any AI Agent

One Install Away from Any Agent

Today Kiln shipped to three agent distribution channels simultaneously — making it the easiest way to give any AI agent control of a 3D printer.

PyPI · GitHub · Install · Docs

Three registries, one tool

Before today, setting up Kiln meant cloning a repo, installing dependencies, and wiring up environment variables by hand. Now it's a single command — regardless of which agent platform you're on.

  • PyPI — pip install kiln3d works globally. Any Python environment, any CI pipeline, any agent that can run pip or uv.
  • ClawHub — clawhub install kiln for OpenClaw agents. One command and your agent has 353 MCP tools pre-configured, with env var gating for optional features.
  • MCP Registry — Listed on the official Model Context Protocol registry. Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client can discover and install Kiln directly from their built-in server browser.

All three paths end at the same place: 353 tools for controlling printers, searching model marketplaces, generating 3D models from text or sketches, and outsourcing manufacturing to fulfillment services when your printer is busy or unavailable.

Install

# PyPI — any Python agent
pip install kiln3d

# ClawHub — OpenClaw agents
clawhub install kiln

# MCP Registry — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf
# Search "kiln" in your MCP client's server browser

After install, point Kiln at your printer: 

export KILN_PRINTER_HOST="http://your-printer-ip"
export KILN_PRINTER_API_KEY="your_key"
kiln status --json

That's it. Your agent can now print.

What's in v0.2.1

  • 5 printer adapters — OctoPrint, Moonraker, Bambu Lab, Prusa Link, Elegoo
  • Text and sketch to 3D generation — Gemini Deep Think, Meshy, Tripo3D, Stability AI, OpenSCAD
  • 3 model marketplaces — Thingiverse, MyMiniFactory, and Cults3D (search only)
  • Outsourced manufacturing — Craftcloud fulfillment
  • Safety enforcement — per-printer temperature and speed limits for 28 printer models
  • Fleet management — multi-printer job queue with smart routing and failure rerouting
  • Autonomy tiers — configurable agent autonomy from confirm-all to full trust
