I made a Slack bot for #printing-legion that pings printers that are near the location of the request. It is able to fetch stl/step files to find its bounding box dimensions to be filtered by custom per printer filters. I also got beta testers to test, which is where I got some of these ideas. I speedran making this, so somehow, I made everything in 6 hours even though I’ve never made a slack bot.

After some feedback from some beta testers, i found that people want dimension filters, since most post companies only accept mail under a certain set of dimentions, and mail is much cheaper than parcel, especially internationally. I wired everything up to threejs and occt and the github api and got the bounding box. Now, there is also a /add-custom-filter command, allowing you to restrict it to any arbitrary set of filters.

I got it running on the server, but since most of my time was spent over ssh, that wasn’t captured by hackatime, but anyhow, it runs on the server now, and I also got a bunch of willing beta testers who are also printing for printing legion.

I got the database working, and the bot probably almost completely works. There is now a /add-as-printer command where you can specify the region where your receiving prints, and it will only include those. I also got eslint setup and refactored the whole codebase. Next, I need to make and upload all the assets like the icons and stuff and make good documentation. Also, I applied for a best server and I’m waiting for approval.

The bot is now able to parse print requests into a json schema using the hack club ai api. Currently the api is down, but it still kinda works with stealth models since they’re free, so right now, i’m using stealth/ox-alpha. I will switch to gpt oss 120b soon for speeeeeed. next, i’ll setup a json db (ik, eww, but it’s easier and im lazy) to store the requests.

I designed the bulk of the part for the paddle, but I still need to figure out what material to use and the method of manufacture, and if I choose CNC, I’ll need to do some more modifications.

Tools are too slow in high-latency environments, so, I’ve made it so that they output a block of code (that i’m calling a compute block) that in the future will be stored in a db that is unified for reference by future agents. I also refactored a bunch of stuff and got pasting stuff into the prompt box to actually work.
Next: I’ll implement the unified cache db. Or I might do something else. idk

I got tools to work, though I’m still figuring out where to get the best web search results, because exa and hacksearch are out of date and deprecated respectively.

I decided that the previous thing with a mobile app was a bit too hard and didn’t fit my application, so I switched over to a python textual tui. It now looks oddly similar to opencode, but the colours are the default from textual.

project is initialized with expo. I got the dev build running on my android. Now I can start making the actual app.
I made a readme and it is now able to run as an actual cli in .local/bin. I also figured out how to push stuff to github.
It should have the bare minimum done. It modulates sound and I made a selector for it (the gfw is blocking my requests to github, and my vpn stopped working, so gh only has part of it.)
