recommend_design_material
Analyzes functional part requirements and printer capabilities to recommend the optimal 3D printing material, including reasoning and alternatives.
Instructions
Recommend material for engineering/functional parts (strength, heat, environment).
Analyzes functional requirements and recommends the optimal
material considering mechanical needs, environmental exposure,
printer capabilities, and ease of printing. Returns the top
recommendation with reasoning, warnings, and alternatives.
**Which material tool to use:**
- Designing a part and need engineering specs? → ``recommend_design_material`` (this tool)
- Quick intent-based pick for your own printer? → ``recommend_material``
- Ordering a print from a service? → ``suggest_material_for_order``
Args:
requirements: What the object needs to do (e.g. "hold 5 kg
of books on an outdoor shelf").

build chamber (needed for ABS, ASA, Nylon, PC).
printer_has_direct_drive: Whether the printer has a direct
drive extruder (needed for TPU).
max_hotend_temp_c: Maximum hotend temperature in Celsius.
