 "title": "Fit a printed part to a real object you measured",
 "page_title": "How to fit a printed part to a real object you measured with Nurb",
 "summary": "Scan or measure a real object, record its dimensions, and compare the design to a target mesh.",
 "who": "A repair technician or maker who needs a part to fit an existing object, such as a broken housing or a downloaded model.",
 "problem": "An AI or designer may guess dimensions that matter for a fit, and a wrong guess only shows up after printing.",
 "outcome": "A part whose key dimensions come from real measurements, with a deviation report showing added or missing material.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Nurb with `uv tool install nurb` or `pip install nurb`.",
  "Scan the real object with your phone, or download a model, then run `nurb scan` to measure it in mm.",
  "Record the dimensions that matter in measurements.toml, noting how each one was obtained.",
  "Add a target mesh to the part's card, then run `nurb compare` to get the deviation report in both directions.",
  "Adjust the part with the sliders or in its file until `nurb compare` shows acceptable deviation."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the nurb repo (Shpigford/nurb), measure the scan file <target scan file path> with `nurb scan` and compare the part <target part name> with `nurb compare`. Expected output: a deviation report in both directions. Verify that every dimension the part needs is present in measurements.toml, since the README says asking for a missing one raises an error instead of guessing.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README notes that no geometry check can catch a wrong guess, so the fit is only proven when the printed part meets the real object.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "An AI subscription you already pay for, such as one that works with your agent or terminal",
  "A Mac (the app is provided for Apple silicon and Intel) or a terminal with uv or pip available",
  "A 3D printer and a slicer such as OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio, if you want print time and filament estimates"
