From Chat to 3D Printer — Image → 3D → AR → Output
What you talk about becomes a physical object the same day

When you're chatting in the salon saying "I'd like something like this," an image appears on the spot, it becomes three-dimensional, you can place it in reality with AR, and finally the physical object comes out of a 3D printer. Everything is handled right in the chat. Let's walk through the actual process step by step.
Text → /image → Image
Image → /3d → 3D model (GLB)
Model → /ar → Place in reality via AR
Model → /slice → Turn into a physical object with a 3D printer
The key point is that this order is fixed. In particular, 3D cannot be created without an image first.
/image/image wooden hexagonal coaster, minimal geometric pattern, top-down view
It almost never comes out right on the first try, so you refine it by editing the most recent image.
/image edit make the pattern slightly thicker, add a circle in the center
If you're planning to convert to 3D, aim for an image that clearly reads the shape — like a shot taken directly from above or straight on. A plain image with a clear shape will produce a better model than an elaborate composition viewed at an angle.
/3d/3d
No arguments needed. It converts the most recent image into a 3D model in GLB format.
You cannot create a 3D model directly from text. This used to be possible, but because quality was inconsistent it was consolidated into the image-based approach. Always run /image first.
The generated model can be rotated and inspected right in the chat. This is where the solid white mode comes in handy.
Displaying the model in plain white with textures removed lets you judge the shape itself on its own merits. Without color or patterns masking anything, you can check bumps, thickness, and any breakdowns in the geometry. Always view it in solid white before sending it to the 3D printer.
/ar/ar
This creates an AR post from the most recent 3D model and returns a URL. Open that URL on your smartphone and you can place the model in real space through your camera.
The post created is private by default. Only people who have the URL can view it. There's no risk of a work-in-progress showing up in search results or listings.
It's great for checking scale. Showing it sitting on a desk is faster than trying to describe "I'm thinking of making it about this big" in words.
/sliceThis is where things get serious.
/slice
That's all it takes — a G-code file (the instruction file a 3D printer reads) is generated from the most recent 3D model.
/slice layer=0.2 infill=30 support=on
layer= — Layer height (mm). 0.2 is standard; around 0.12 for finer detailinfill= — Fill density (%). 15 for decorative pieces, 40+ when strength is neededsupport=on|off — Support material. Use on if there are overhanging partsbrim=on|off / raft=on|off — Warping countermeasurestemp= / bedtemp= — Temperaturesscale= — Scale factor; rotate=x90,z45 — Rotationbed=220x220 — Bed sizeRun /slice help at any time to see the full list.
/slice mode=laser format=svg,dxf
/slice mode=sla format=photon
mode=fdm — Standard fused-filament fabrication. Outputs G-codemode=laser — For laser cutters. SVG / DXF / G-codemode=sla — Resin (SLA) printing. Photon formatA "🖨 Print" button is attached to the generated message. From here you can send the file directly to your printer. USB serial, Moonraker, and OctoPrint are all supported.
The whole routine of downloading the file, putting it on an SD card, and walking it over to the printer simply disappears.
/slice-rejin/slice-rejin
This is the slicer for resin printers. It has a mode that operates the actual machine.
/slice-rejin print
Only when print is appended does it send the job to the machine and start the print. Without it, the machine does nothing. On top of that, this operation is restricted to salon administrators only.
It's a two-layer safety mechanism to prevent accidentally consuming expensive resin.
In practice, it works well for the following:
On the other hand, it's not suited for precision mechanical parts or anything with strictly defined dimensions. That's a job for dedicated CAD software.
Talk in chat → Turn into an image → Make it three-dimensional → Check it in the real world → Output it.
These five stages all happen within a single conversation. The old process of saying "okay, let's make it" in a meeting and then waiting until next week is no longer necessary.
Next time, we'll talk about the path from offline. We'll cover NFC business cards and referral links.
