As far as I know reddit does the same thing. If you don’t follow normal human patterns you will quickly get banned. I read some guy’s report where he got banned 8 times detailing each behaviour and indeed it was nothing crazy.

I export it as .3mf file and display it with threejs on the web. Compilation seemed fast enough - few seconds tops.

Does this use its own backend/engine? I've been working on LLM to CAD tool[0] and have realised there are so many backends and options to choose from. Since the realisation I'm trying to find the best representation for an LL

This "screenshot -> refine loop" is a great strategy and I have built it into my 3D Modeling product as well[0], but had to disable it because it would often quadruple the costs and the product is already expensive. I am on sta

In the coworking I am in people are hitting limits on 60$ plan all the time. They are thinking about which models to use to be efficient, context to include etc… I’m on claude code $100 plan and never worry about any of that stuff and I thi

3D AI Modeling software intended for 3D printers. https://grandpacad.com Originally I made it for my grandpa, but I got a lot of interest so I made it into a full commercial product. Just yesterday I published a set of 3 mini tu

Ran a bunch of 3D Modeling benchmarks on Gemini 3.1 vs Gemini 3. Unsurprisingly 3.1 performs a bit better. But surprisingly it costs 2.6x as much ($0.14 vs. $0.37 per 3D Model Generation) and is 2.5x slower (1m 24s vs. 3m 28s). To me it fee

I am building pretty much the same product as OP, and have a pretty good harness to test LLMs. In fact I have run a tons of tests already. It’s currently aimed for my own internal tests, but making something that is easier to digest should

I see no mention of that, but OpenAI already has "service tier" API option[0] that improves the speed of a request by about 40% according to my tests. [0]: https://openai.com/api-priority-processing/

I think models are smart enough for most of the stuff, these little incremental changes barely matter now. What I want is the model that is fast .

Very interesting thanks! I wonder what would happen if you kept running Gemini in a loop for a while. Considering how much faster it ended it seems like there is a lot more potential.

My current choice is DaisyUI. It’s pretty good and because it’s based on tailwind you get the rest of the ecosystem benefits. Super easy to extend and change. Class bloat is much more manageable than raw tailwind.

Developers remember, you can always push back on design requirements instead of bringing in more bloat. I was sitting next to one of the devs in a co-working space and he was trying to figure out some specific layout issue in react native.

Very cool and quite advanced compared to my tool. I've been working on something similar, although not an addon for SolidWorks, but a web SaaS. Initially started it as a tool to help my grandpa make some simple models (ChatGPT clicked

I am really curious about speed/latency. For my use case there is a big difference in UX if the model is faster. Wish this was included in some benchmarks. I will run 80 3D model generations benchmark tomorrow and update this comment w

Interesting. I’m building a SaaS around this idea. And I managed to do things waaay more complex than that using LLMs. Especially “several times”. My AI can do a parametric trophy cup from one prompt in a couple of attempts, I would be shoc

There was quite a bit of interest in the 3D modeling data when Gemini 3 was released[0]. So I have decided to write about my findings. It's the first time ever I am submitting a link to my AI 3D Modeling software (even if it's jus

Thanks for clarifying. I'm just getting into this field. If Blender can export a .3mf file format and slicer gets it ready for 3D printing (gcode that actually instructs the printer head). Is the slicer actually CAD software? And if yo

Computer aided design. Tree.js can be CAD. But I agree it’s not meant for CAD even though you can do it.

Based on my benchmarks (run 100s of model generations). 2.5 stands between GPT-5 and GPT-5.1, where GPT-5 is the best of the 3. In preliminary evals Gemini 3 seems to be way better than all, but I will know when I run extended benchmarks to

I started with a lighter weight solution (JSCAD) first and quickly hit the limitations. So I wanted to explore the other side of it - fully complex over the top software (blender). I guess openscad would be a sweet spot in the middle. Good

Yes. I’ve been working and refining the prompt for some time now (months). It’s about 10k tokens now.

It’s not a format, but in my mind it implies designs that are supposed to be functional as opposed to models that are meant for virtual games. It generated a blender script that makes the model.

Just generated a bunch of 3D CAD models using Gemini 3.0 to see how it compares in spatial understanding and it's heaps better than anything currently out there - not only intelligence but also speed. Will run extended benchmarks later

Can’t wait to test it out. Been running a tons of benchmarks (1000+ generations) for my AI to CAD model project and noticed: - GPT-5 medium is the best - GPT-5.1 falls right between Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5 but it’s quite a bit faster Reall

What kind of API subscription are you using? I found opencode to be incredibly expensive - prompts costing $5, while with aider I did it for <$0.1.

Thanks, the 3D asset creators are very interesting. I'm working on LLM -> CAD tool (for 3d printing) and your post confirms that I should keep my focus, because there is so much other things to do (uv unwrapping!) if you are targeti
