fdm-dfm

fdm-dfm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from halsyourpal422/Battenmark. It costs 0 tokens per session (540 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review process for checking whether an existing model can be made on a consumer FDM 3D printer. FDM, or fused deposition modeling, builds parts layer by layer by melting and placing plastic filament.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the solid or assembly geometry is mostly complete and before slicing, to inspect the model, check its orientation, review printability, apply corrections if needed, validate the result, and preview it again.
Why use it?
It separates general shape and geometry issues from advice that depends on the printer, material, or print orientation, reducing the risk of treating context-specific measurements as universal rules.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fdm-dfm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

FDM Design-for-Manufacturing

Purpose

Review an existing model for consumer FDM printability. Separate general geometric principles from printer/material/orientation-specific recommendations.

Use when

  • Solid or assembly is largely complete; need manufacturability pass before slicing.
  • Target process is consumer FDM.

Do not use when

  • Model does not yet exist (design first with basic-part / enclosure).
  • Need machine-specific G-code or slicer profiles.

Preconditions

  • REQUIRED: Project with geometry; intended print orientation known or to be decided.
  • RECOMMENDED: Target nozzle/material/layer height if available; otherwise label numeric advice as defaults/ranges.

Planning rules

  1. Inspect real geometry first.
  2. Confirm print orientation.
  3. Apply general principles; only then consider material/printer-specific numbers.
  4. Label every numeric value as contextual — never as universal law.
  1. REQUIREDinspect_document / inspect_body / query_geometryrender_preview.
  2. REQUIRED — Walk geometry checklist.
  3. RECOMMENDED — Apply corrective features if needed → validate → re-preview.
  4. OPTIONAL — mesh export for slicer; keep STEP/FCStd authoritative.

Geometry / mechanical rules

General principles

Prefer orientations minimising unsupported overhangs and long bridges. Avoid features thinner than practical for chosen nozzle/material (treat numbers as project-specific ranges).

Contextual guidance (always label)

Example starting ranges — must be confirmed for the actual printer/material:

  • Wall thickness often 1.2–3.0 mm for common 0.4 mm nozzles.
  • Overhangs steeper than ~45–60° from vertical frequently need support or redesign. Never present these as Battenmark or universal CAD rules.

Verification gates

Geometry inspected with public tools; orientation stated; numeric recommendations labelled as defaults/ranges requiring confirmation; validate clean after edits.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
