I've also been playing around in this area and starting getting somewhat useable around Opus 4.8. It has been able to generate some quite impressive designs, but for me it has been quite hard to get the model to understand what exactly I want modeled. Are you willing to share your work? Mine is available at https://jnslmk.github.io/build123d-models/?model=drill_storage https://jnslmk.github.io/build123d-models/?model=drill_stora... One of the things I've found more useful is the generation of a static site to view and download the models. With WASM you can make minor adjustments directly in browser

"Downloading WASM: 40mb of Python and build123d" - this hurts :( This is exactly the good thing about OpenSCAD: its WASM build size is minuscule compared to Python build, and you can edit/customize a model right in the browser. https://modelrift.com/models/desktop-organizer-with-drawer https://modelrift.com/models/desktop-organizer-with-drawer

> but for me it has been quite hard to get the model to understand what exactly I want modeled I like your approach so much more and I wish you the best of luck with it, but I think this is the kind of fundamental flaw with text-to-CAD isn't it? CAD is show, don't tell territory. Humans can make things we can't describe, and we can extrapolate spatially from what we can describe.

  I think you're right. I'm going to test the freecad mcp workflows in the future and hope to be able to get AI designs that can then be edited by traditional CAD workflows
