Prusa XL + your AI agent
Describe each part once. Your agent sequences the work and the XL prints it through.
Can an AI agent control the Prusa XL?
Yes. Kiln connects through Prusa Link, built into the printer. Kiln is the open-source layer that lets Claude, Codex, or any MCP-speaking agent design, slice, and print on it.
pip install kiln3dkiln install-mcpThe second command connects your agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. The install guide covers the rest.
