thicken_mesh_walls
Fix thin walls in a mesh by offsetting vertices outward. Detects weak regions and thickens the geometry, outputting a corrected STL after print-failure analysis flags them.
Instructions
Thicken thin walls in a mesh by offsetting vertices outward.
Detects thin-wall regions and pushes vertices outward along their
averaged normals. This is a **geometry-level fix** -- the mesh is
surgically modified instead of regenerating from scratch.
Use after ``predict_print_failures()`` detects ``thin_walls`` or
after ``design_scorecard()`` flags wall thickness issues.
:param file_path: Path to the STL file.
:param amount_mm: Offset distance in mm (default 0.5).
:param output_path: Output path (defaults to ``<name>_thickened.stl``).
:returns: Dict with number of vertices modified, amounts, and output path.INLINE 3D STAGE: on success this tool also opens Kiln's interactive 3D stage — an inline viewer panel the user can orbit, zoom, and turn over — in hosts that render MCP Apps panels (Kiln's hosted connection attaches a browser stage link for hosts that don't). Oversized meshes are decimated automatically for the stage; the PNG preview is the floor, not the whole experience.
