PrintPal 3D Model Generator

Generate 3D models from images or text prompts for 3D printing.

Quick Start

From an image path or URL:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_3d.py --image /path/to/image.png

From text prompt:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_3d.py --prompt "a cute robot toy"

Installation

Required Python packages:

pip install printpal requests

For text-to-image and SEO features:

pip install wavespeed

Configure API keys in your OpenClaw settings (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under env):

• PRINTPAL_API_KEY - required for 3D generation
• WAVESPEED_API_KEY - for text-to-image and product photos
• OPENROUTER_API_KEY - for SEO metadata generation

Workflow

1. Get the image:

   • If user provides a file path → use it directly
   • If user provides a URL → download it
   • If user pastes an image → use it directly (it will be available as a file path or URL in context)
   • If user provides text → generate image via WaveSpeed first

2. Generate 3D model:

   • Use PrintPal API with super quality (768 cubed)
   • Default output format: STL
   • Save to printpal-output/ directory in workspace

3. Provide downloads:

   • Start file server if needed
   • Return clickable URLs
