- xrd 6mo agoI've been using Gemini to generate openscad programs for use with my 3d printer. Is cadquery a better option I wonder? Why do you say it is better than openscad?
- xrd 6mo agoAfter reading some of the docs it does look fun. Python, so leverage your Python skills and existing libraries. A nice GUI so you can build, view, tweak, review, iterate. Will be a nice new toy...
- RobotToaster 6mo agoOpenscad can export to CSG, which can be imported by free cad or converted to STEP https://github.com/gega/csg2stp https://github.com/gega/csg2stp
- WillAdams 6mo agoWhether or no that will be useful/editable will be determined by what sort of objects and modeling approaches were used --- it's pretty easy to make a file which results in a nightmarish triangle mesh representation which is a nightmare to edit.
