flowful··on Show HN: ChatToSTL – AI text-to-CAD for 3D printing
Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I picked openscad since it's well known to LLMs, though the downside is that it's not a python lib. For visualization I used trimesh to load the STL data and then plotly to display it.

Fair point. I went with BYO key since I can’t cover OpenAI usage at scale for a hobby project, but I might look into free LLMs on Hugging Face.
