OpenSCAD Print Validation
x402
OpenSCAD Print Validation is a paid API for AI agents from api.williamrobinson.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).
Validates an OpenSCAD design for FDM 3D printability by compiling it, checking mesh integrity, slicing it, and returning detailed check results with artifacts.

How this service works
Web Evidence ($0.01/call), OpenSCAD Print Validation ($0.05/call), Spreadsheet Modification & Audit ($0.05/call), Packing & Shipping Engineer ($0.05/call), Game-Asset Technical Artist ($0.10/call), PCB Fabrication Engineer ($0.25/call), Software Failure Reduction Lab ($0.50/call), Laboratory-Protocol Compiler ($0.15/call), Video Finishing & Localization ($0.50/call), Print Prototype Engineer ($0.15/call), Garment-Pattern Engineer ($0.10/call), Product-Label Artwork Compiler ($0.15/call) and Notarized Website Capture ($10.00/call), settled in USDC on Base mainnet over HTTP 402. No API keys, no accounts. Price: $0.01 (10000 atomic USDC per call), settled over HTTP 402 (x402, scheme "exact", EIP-3009). How to pay: an unpaid POST answers 402 with a base64 `payment-required` header describing an exact transfer of 10000 atomic USDC on eip155:8453 (asset 0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913) to 0x26026370fe8b2bb17af9092a17691c76519366da. Sign the EIP-3009 authorization, attach it in the `payment-signature` header, and retry the identical request. Invalid requests are never charged. - Settlement: eip155:8453 / 0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913 / 0x26026370fe8b2bb17af9092a17691c76519366da
Output
Returns a JSON object with overall pass/fail status, per-check results (compilation, mesh watertightness, triangle count, volume, size-against-bed, slicer G-code validity, preview render), model bounds and volume in mm, tool versions used, any warnings, and signed artifact URLs for the compiled STL, G-code, and preview PNG.
Example use cases
Pre-print parametric part check
“I've got an OpenSCAD design for a custom bracket — can you validate it for FDM PLA printing with a 0.4mm nozzle on my 220×220×250mm printer? I want to make sure it's watertight and will actually slice. Here's the source: `module bracket(h=30, w=20) { difference() { cube([w,10,h]); translate([5,0,5]) cube([10,10,20]); } } bracket();`”
PETG filament profile validation
“Before I send this enclosure lid design to my printer, can you run it through the PETG validation profile and check that it fits within a 300×300×400mm build volume? The OpenSCAD source is: `linear_extrude(3) square([80,60]);`”
Parametric model override test
“I have an OpenSCAD file that takes parameters — can you validate it with wall_thickness set to 2.5 and height set to 50, using the FDM PLA profile, and confirm the mesh is valid and the model slices correctly? Source: `wall_thickness=3; height=40; difference(){ cube([40,40,height]); translate([wall_thickness,wall_thickness,0]) cube([40-wall_thickness*2,40-wall_thickness*2,height]); }`”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.williamrobinson.dev/v1/print/validate?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you have raw OpenSCAD source code and need an end-to-end printability verdict — covering compilation, mesh integrity, bed-fit, and slicing — before committing to physical printing. It is uniquely suited to parametric OpenSCAD workflows where you want to inject parameter overrides and confirm the resulting geometry is valid. Prefer it over generic STL validators when you need the full pipeline from source to G-code confirmed, or when you need PrusaSlicer-backed slice verification rather than mesh checks alone.
Side effects
- OpenSCAD compilation error if source contains syntax errors or external imports (CAD_COMPILE check fails)
- Non-manifold or non-watertight mesh returns MESH_WATERTIGHT failed status
- Model exceeds requested maxSizeMm or printer bed dimensions (REQUESTED_MAX_SIZE or PRINTER_BED check fails)
- Slicer produces no extrusion toolpath for degenerate geometry (EXTRUSION_TOOLPATH check fails)
- Payment not attached returns HTTP 402 with payment-required header
- Source exceeds 16 KiB limit returns validation error
- Parameter override names conflict with reserved names or non-scalar expressions
