Is This ChatGPT for 3D Printing? | Create Printable 3D Models in SECONDS

[@SgtMajor82]

Just used this after numerous attempts of trying to sculpt a soccer player that I am short of for an old game. It worked pretty well from an image. I'll need to tidy it up, but all the basics are there, and I'm not capable of creating what this has just done for me. Thanks!

[@lifegettingintheway2710]

I just asked chatgpt to define in Freecad a dual stacked double helix planetary gear 300mm in diameter, ball bearings on the shafts, undefined length, and with a total ratio of at least 9 to 1. It finished it's task in under 4 seconds. The result is printable. That's pretty cool.

[@paullevine1813]

I had an ABS made sunroof panel on my 97BMW succumbed to wear & i tried to find a replacement with no real luck, i got a 3D printed one that was supposed to fit but it didn't so a friend told me he has 3 printers where they work & asked if i would send some pictures of what the old one looked like. He found a program for the panel but with a better tab system for it to fit & the switch rectangle was the correct size. 6 hours was what it took to make & it fits perfect saving me a huge headache. When i asked how much he said nothing we have plenty of material & once it's programed you close the door & let it work its magic. I was a R&D Machinist for50 years & know both CNC & manual machine work, but I've never seen one of these printers but on YT & they are impressive. Sure, saved my ass & as i broke one of the tabs on the one i bought i couldn't really send it back so this saves my 30 bucks as well.

I wish there was just an AI mesh to solid converter. Fusion Mesh convert is terrible.

Fusion Mesh Convert is not terrible, it just requires a lot of CPU processing; you need an extremely high core count CPU. Or use simplify mesh first to lower the amount of faces to an amount your current rig can handle.

Are you using the free license? Yes it's terrible. I've currently got a trial version of the full license which has amazing mesh conversion abilities. Will be sad when I have to go back to the free tier as I can't justify the cost :(

[@iaincampbell4422]

6:30 you dont need to do that edit, just set the z height of the model to a negative so that the bit youd like to cut off is below the build plate and it'll effectively cut it in the slicer (defo works with Cura and if memory serves prusa)

[@Nishandh_Mayiladan]

yes. graphically : Click scale icon, pull down the Z axis of model using mouse. watch out the view port from below. The base of model would become blue as it makes full contact to 'bed'

[@got_logic1320]

You'll want to keep up with Etsy policies with this. Etsy wants photos of actual products, if you're selling a tangible product. So just showing an AI generated picture as a product you can possibly buy, may not work so well now.

[@Sartre_Existentialist]

So why can't he just print 1 and make on demand after that?

[@got_logic1320]

@@Sartre_Existentialist You could if you have pictures for EVERY listing you do this with. But what he seemed to be suggesting was to basically throw anything up in AI and see what sells. So I'm just pointing out that if that's all you're doing, you may get dinged on Etsy. But if you do print a real example for every listing, and put up good pictures, and up to 10 pics, then you should be good. It's just a lot of work that you have to be prepared for.

[@Floating-Cows]

Hopefully anyone willing to set up an Etsy shop would create a menu of items they generated themselves. Then in the additional upgrades you can choose custom. Ask for different variations if possible. You might be able to have a custom generated item which someone can buy when they want something entirely different. They can inquire about it. If you can’t do exactly this. Do something similar to this if possible. It’d show customers that you’re able to make a wide variety of things and give them an idea of what you can customize.

[@got_logic1320]

@@Floating-Cows I would be careful about TOO much customization, as then it will eat up a lot of your time, unless the customer is willing to pay for it. And just because it can be generated doesn't automatically mean it can print well, so now you might find out the hard way it doesn't print well, and/or requires a lot more post processing, but you couldn't have anticipated everything when quoting your customer. I've dealt with very customizeable products before and it can be a tremendous headache, and very little profit for your time.

When will those companies learn??? Making things with AI just for the sake of using AI is not cool anymore, it is underwhelming at best. Quit trying to elude lay people into thinking they could get quality work out of AI with minimal effort. Wanna make money? make tools for the professionals what about a actually good AI remesher? Something that could convert those random free models with disconnected geometry into a manifold volume! Maybe a auto UV Unwraper that does not suck, which actually _unwraps_ rather than butchering the seams apart into a archipelago of pixels don't try to "be disruptive" or "change paradigms", make an AI that works with you, not one that tries to replace good professionals with less than mediocre results...
