Toss a project at your printer: vibe coded tool allows developer to throw stuff at his 3D printer in VR to begin printing

A software engineer at Epic, Hank Berger, has created a tool that allows developers to use virtual reality to toss objects at their 3D printers, initiating the printing process. The tool utilizes the Bambu Lab printer API and GPT-6 Astra, enabling communication between a Meta Quest 3 headset, a mobile app, and a 3D printer. Berger shared a video of himself using the tool, saying that he feels like Tony Stark.

The developer plans to polish the project further before making it available on GitHub. Berger has been experimenting with AI-assisted decompilations of retro video games, which have gained popularity among independent developer communities.
