## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fabtally-instant-digital-fabrication-quote-2162f551 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you get me an instant FabTally quote for printing 25 copies of this bracket.stl file in PETG-CF? I want to see the per-unit price, total cost, and how long the print will take.

## When to prefer this

Use FabTally when you need a fast, programmatic price estimate for 3D printing before committing to a manufacturing order, especially when you need detailed cost breakdowns (machine cost, material cost, setup fee) or want to evaluate volume pricing across multiple quantities or materials. Prefer this over manual quoting tools or contacting a fabrication shop directly when you need instant, structured quote data that an agent can act on.

## Known failure modes

- File too large (>64 MB) — upload rejected
- Unsupported file format — must be STL, 3MF, OBJ, or STEP
- Invalid material ID — must be one of the supported enum values
- Quantity out of range — must be between 1 and 10,000
- Malformed or corrupt 3D model file — cannot be sliced or analyzed
- Payment not provided or insufficient — x402 payment required at $0.005 USDC per call

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the quoted model filename, material used, quantity, per-unit breakdown (price, setup fee, machine cost, material cost), total cost in USD, any quantity discount applied, estimated filament usage in grams, print duration in seconds and human-readable format, and the timestamp when the quote was generated.
