find-stlSearch and download ready-to-print 3D model files (STL/3MF/ZIP) for a concept or specific part by querying Printables (first). Use when an agent needs to find an existing model, capture license/attribution, download the source files, and output a local folder + manifest for quoting/printing.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install ajmwagar/find-stlThis skill provides a deterministic pipeline:
manifest.json (source URL, author, license id, files, hashes)python3 scripts/find_stl.py search "iphone 15 pro dock" --limit 10python3 scripts/find_stl.py fetch 1059554 --outdir out/modelsBy default, fetch downloads all model files (a ZIP pack) when available.

A design firm needs to quickly create physical prototypes of custom accessories, such as phone docks or mounting brackets, for client presentations. This skill automates finding and downloading ready-to-print 3D models from Printables, ensuring proper licensing and attribution are captured in the manifest for compliance.
A school or university engineering department requires 3D models for student projects, like mechanical parts or educational tools. The skill streamlines searching and downloading models with verified licenses, allowing educators to focus on teaching rather than manual file management and legal checks.
A 3D printing service bureau receives customer requests for specific items, such as replacement parts or hobby models. This skill enables efficient retrieval of models from Printables, downloads all necessary files, and generates a manifest for quoting and tracking, reducing manual effort and errors.
A manufacturing or facility maintenance team needs to print custom tools or replacement components for equipment. The skill helps find and download relevant 3D models quickly, with the manifest ensuring proper attribution and license compliance for internal use.
Offer a monthly subscription where clients submit queries for 3D models, and the service uses this skill to automate searching, downloading, and delivering packaged files with manifests. Revenue comes from subscription fees, targeting small businesses and hobbyists who need regular access to printable models.
License this skill as part of a software package for manufacturing companies to integrate into their design workflows. It reduces time spent sourcing models manually, with revenue generated through one-time licensing fees or annual support contracts based on company size and usage.
Provide a free version of the skill for basic searches and downloads, with premium features like batch processing, advanced filtering, or integration with other design tools. Monetize through upgrades, targeting individual makers and educational institutions looking for enhanced functionality.
💬 Integration Tip
Integrate this skill into existing CAD or 3D printing software via its Python script to automate model sourcing, ensuring the manifest is used for compliance tracking in production workflows.
