I had some good results using CadQuery [1] with CQ-editor [2] for visualization driven by Claude Code enhanced by a cadquery-llm-skill [3]. I didn't make anything too complicated, just cases for various ESP32 projects I am tinkering with, but that was very easy just describing what I want and iterating and refining until I am satisfied. It was much easier than doing it manually in FreeCAD and more dynamic as the changes were cheap and not tedious to do.

Shortly after

is interesting. When did it ask for the dimensions?
Maybe they are referencing the sliders below to tweak the parameters?
Most LLM's are pretty good at generating openscad code already, so what's new here?

Hah, that is actually what I need right now and I also wanted to 3d print it :D
which part of this is the innovation?
None of it. This is pray-novation. You hope that it works. If it doesn't then try again or do something else.

Only if you have a cupertino-made toaster that is.
Looks cool.
I have had issues with language CAD stuff before, often not performing as advertised and would love to tinker with it.
And whats great here is that I cant test the web version, and because its for mac silicon only, I also cant test the local version.
So Kudos? I guess?

How does physics "check the work"? Do you run a physics engine? Do you make it in reality and do physical tests? What the fuck?
Gets this slop away from me.
