Using a single prompt to get an agent to swap a 3D printer's y-axis belt over two iterations
_Stocko_ · x · 2026-09-06
The author shares how they used their AI agent (astra) to perform a y-axis belt replacement on a 3D printer. After the agent's second iteration, the tool mount area looked a bit off, so the author fed community suggestions back as notes to see how the agent recovers. The specific prompt used is included, demonstrating an iterative agent-driven approach to physical hardware tasks.
