Not trying to flood printables and co with more AI but honestly curious.

I am a person that has no sense for aesthetics whatsoever. In a creative process even less so. This would help me out im some situations. All functional parts j do in freecad.

A thread about myminifactory I asked about some ai site examples to evaluate the model quality. For example, do they know how to avoid overhangs if possible etc.

It got downvoted.

For real: what are some tested ai generators for stl?

EDIT: people are dming me links because (I assume) they don’t want to admit they are not completely against ai. That is a healthy atmosphere right there. I agree that ai is taking a bad path right now but the tool itself shouldn’t be discarded as a whole. You people are acting like calculators are bad because they let your mind rot. My grandfather was one of those. Simple answers are almost always wrong or incomplete. Think!

    I tried Meshy and Trellis and Hitem. Next I’ll try printmon.

    Hitem has the best free option and portrait mode. Made some great busts.

    Meshy looked great if cartoony with its model 6, but only let me download from model 4, which was a surprise and made monsters.

    Trellis was in between and I ran out of huggingface tokens quickly.

    I’d use hitem all day but not interested in paid subscriptions for my passing hobby. Hoping Bambu is handy with printmon again, though I expect it may be proprietary.

    Also, all needed some cleanup, Bambu could fix slice and print but not adjust details and cuts. Started with Blender but the interface is hard for a CAD person. Switched to using Meshmixer, which works great, and just using Bambu to do a final fix of the stl before slice. Make solid is a helpful tool in Meshmixer if you get a good looking but imperfect stl, but you have to be careful to avoid losing detail.

        @prenatal_confusion @T3CHT imagine how unfair #AI is to CAD designers with a human touch like those in #3DPrinting who have spent hours on a single project some projects it takes them weeks but if you want to use ai for example history based machine learning error recognition that’s something I can agree to that’s shared history as a community

          I have been paid for and paid for CAD and other impacted engineering products including software. AI is unfair… How?

          I can see some issues with copyright, and I acknowledge it will upset economies. But being able to ‘automate’ photo to 3d, and so many other tools that enable me so much to do things that wouldn’t have happened before, it’s unimaginable to many around me. Change is scary, strap in.
