Blender2BambuStudio — Development skill for Claude Code

Blender2BambuStudio

A Claude Code skill that automates exporting a colored Blender model to Bambu Studio for multi-color FDM printing on AMS / AMS Lite, using the native OBJ+MTL pipeline — no Silk addon needed.

What it does

When invoked, the skill guides Claude Code through a 6-step pipeline:

1. Verify model state — apply transforms and modifiers
2. Create color materials — one Principled BSDF per color (≤ 4 for AMS Lite)
3. Assign materials — one slot per mesh, or face-group assignment for mixed meshes
4. Join by printable part — merge meshes belonging to the same movable part
5. Clean the mesh — triangulate, merge doubles, fill holes, recalc normals (prevents n-gon and non-manifold rejections in Bambu)
6. Export one OBJ per part — with triangulation enabled and material groups preserved

Each logical part is exported as its own `.obj` file. The user then imports each file into Bambu Studio separately so they remain independent, selectable objects with distinct filament assignments.

Why OBJ instead of 3MF

3MF via the Silk Bambu Studio Blender Addon is the "official" route, but its compatibility with Blender 5.x is unverified and installation adds friction. Native `wm.obj_export` with `export_triangulated_mesh=True` and `export_material_groups=True` produces a file Bambu Studio reads reliably, with each material surfacing as a separate filament slot.

When Claude Code picks this up

Any prompt that implies exporting a Blender scene to Bambu Studio for multi-color printing — for example:

• "Export this Blender model to Bambu Studio"
• "Set up AMS color groups for this print"
• "How do I get my Blender colors into Bambu Lab?"

Installation

Recommended: install as a Claude Code plugin

In any Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add rayandcherry/Blender2BambuStudio
/plugin install blender-bambu-studio@rayandcherry

This pulls the plugin from GitHub, installs it at user level, and namespaces the skill so invo
