Clicked one of the examples...

> I have a 400mm x 500mm x 80mm drawer for screws and bolts.

(thinking for a while)

"Please provide drawer dimensions to continue."

Gridfinity is a strange one as on the whole it would make more sense for much of it to be mass produced injection moulding. Everyone is printing the same 42mm grid and buckets!

But hobby gonna hobby.

Shhhh! Some of us need to convince our significant others that a 3d printer is actually useful, and not just a toy/waste of space.

On this tangent I can recommend 3D printing jewellery and RC toys as well as repairing broken stuff around the house. Kids like custom fidget spinners.

Printing RC toys gets expensive fast. Before you know it you're buying castle motors and a flysky remote.

I think the status page while waiting for generation is showing messages from across other users too? I saw a mishmash of different progresses, "Please provide dimensions" and then it returned to showing other random inputs

This seems harder than just using a regular gridfinity generator and controlling with sliders rather than free text input and prayers.

Okay, so this is just a text prompt that could have been actual UI elements where I select dimensions, fed to an LLM in the poorest way possible so it doesn't even work properly, where you ask it to kinda sorta solve a binpacking problem.

Imma pass.

Use gridfinity instead. It actually works and isn't AI slop

This is clearly using gridfinity. You might want to actually check out the link before commenting next time
