Design SolidCraft

Turn an idea, prompt, or sketch into a parametric SolidCraft part that prints well on an FDM printer and looks deliberately designed. Build it through the SolidCraft MCP server and deliver:

• <name>.solidcraft: the editable parametric design
• <name>.3mf: for the slicer
• <name>.step: for other CAD tools
• <name>.png: an iso preview

This skill covers new designs only. To change an existing .solidcraft file, use SolidCraft's own solidcraft-editing skill if it is installed. For OpenSCAD output, use design-scad.

Principles

1. Function first, then printability, then looks. Never give up a fit, wall, clearance, or support-free print for appearance, but make every choice that costs nothing look good.
2. Numbers before calls. Plan every stage with its expected volume, bounding box, face count, and centre of mass before building it. A command that reports success may still have done nothing, such as a cut that missed. Only a measure that matches the plan counts.
3. Every size and position is a named parameter, with a range in its comment, and no sketch is left with free DOF.
4. Model as printed. The part sits on the bed as modelled.
