Using AI to Generate Custom Filament Technical Reports
I've been maintaining a growing filament library on my Core One and got tired of hunting through dozens of TDS PDFs every time I needed to pick a material for a new project. So I started using Claude to generate consolidated technical reports covering my entire inventory — mechanical properties, thermal data, print settings, cross-material comparisons, and application selection guides, all in one document.
My last report covered 25 filaments across 14 polymer families and came out to 36 pages in about 10 minutes. If you include your own calibration data (PA, EM, shrinkage values), it integrates those too, so the report is specific to your printer and nozzle setup.
I wrote up a step-by-step guide with a copy-paste prompt template so anyone can do this with their own filament collection:

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any AI assistant that can create files. You just need your filament list and optionally your calibration data.
I've attached my report. Have a look.

Hi Hyiger.
That's a very interesting idea! I have the same problem with filament management. Your list, taken from Claude, is laid out clearly.
Since I'm personally an Excel person who likes to “filter,” I ran your PDF through “Claude” again and had it generate a table version for you. I haven't edited it yet—it's just a direct copy.

the circle is complete, we use ai models to convert data from unstructured format (docs) to structured ones (spreadsheets), and then we use ai to process spreadsheets back to the docs...
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Cool.
I didn't see much printing tips in their, which I think is a good thing. I've experimented with it a bit before and I've found that gen AI can not be trusted to tune filament print settings. It is good at highlighting which parameters can be relevant for which problems, and giving a ballpark starting off point though.

AI is great for creating reports like this but not for advice on "how to". I find it useful in general to give me context for making my own decisions.
