컨텍스트 비용
이는 서버의 도구가 모델의 컨텍스트에 로드될 때마다 소비되는 대략적인 토큰 수입니다. 수치가 높을수록 다른 작업에 사용할 수 있는 주의가 줄어듭니다.

🟢search(query)
Search everything on PrintPal for a 3D-printing query: community 3D models, free tools and calculators, wiki troubleshooting articles, OpenSCAD/AI-CAD docs, video tutorials, build guides and Academy courses. Returns ids accepted by `fetch` for the full content. Suited to general 3D printing questions such as "why is my first layer not sticking", "PETG temperature" or "3D printed phone stand".

Returns cards with thumbnail, author, tags, likes and a link to the model page where the files can be downloaded. Searches existing uploads only; new models are made by `generate_3d_model` (AI mesh) or `design_parametric_cad` (exact dimensions).

Compute the Z-axis "magic number" layer heights for a printer from its stepper step angle, microstepping and lead-screw pitch/starts, filtered to what suits the nozzle. Defaults match most Ender/Prusa-style printers (1.8°, 1/16, T8 2 mm × 4 starts → 0.04 mm steps).

Each result lists difficulty, time, cost, part/file/step counts. Filter by category (electronics-robotics, functional-prints, home-workshop, stem-education, printer-mods, art-props, toys-games) or difficulty (beginner, intermediate, advanced).

}⚪generate_3d_model(prompt, image_url, quality, format)
Turn a text prompt or an image into a print-ready 3D mesh (STL/GLB/OBJ geometry) with PrintPal's AI generator. Without a PrintPal API key this returns a link that opens the generator on printpal.io with the prompt prefilled; nothing is generated until the user clicks it. With an API key header (`Authorization: Bearer pp_live_…`) it submits the job to the user's own account, spends that account's credits, and returns a `generation_uid` that `check_3d_generation` accepts. Suited to organic/sculptural objects (figurines, animals, props); exact-dimension mechanical parts are handled by `design_parametric_cad`.

For mechanical / functional parts with exact dimensions — brackets, enclosures, adapters, gears, bins, knobs, mounts — open PrintPal's AI CAD agent with a ready-to-run brief. The agent writes editable OpenSCAD with parameter sliders, live 3D preview and STL/3MF/STEP export. This tool improves the user's description into a precise CAD brief (dimensions, tolerances, mounting, print orientation) and returns the link; the user clicks it to generate.
