Turn Reference Photos Into a Tested 3D-Printed Structure

Premise

Coordinate image abstraction, simulation, experiments, model export, and slicing while retaining a human gate before printing.

Setup

1. Provide reference images, material budget, physical question, and printer constraints.
2. Have a scientist-coder build and validate a simulator with holdouts.
3. Export winning models and review the sliced plate before starting hardware.

Boundaries

• Never invent simulation measurements.
• Printing requires explicit approval.
• Keep rejected hypotheses and failed tests in the report.

Coordinate two specialists: a physics experimenter and a fabrication operator. Derive structural principles from the supplied images, build a validated simulator under a fixed material budget, run a documented batch including holdouts, and write methods, results, and rejected ideas. Export the strongest designs to STL, prepare them in the slicer, and stop with a plate preview before any print begins.
