@jayvraavi Art deco is so good

why did we stop making art deco buildings

@istvan_csanady @emm0sh wow, hi! thank you for building such an intuitive CAD tool. Shapr3D makes the learning curve feel much less scary

@emm0sh @sonichNik dude she said Shapr3D

my professor saw it and said he could model it in 5 minutes. I spent HOURS making the CAD model with ai, burned a criminal amount of Genspark tokens, and still had to fix things by hand in Shapr3D. anyway, it’s finally ready for 3D printing. (Made render in 2minutes but it’s not the final product anyway)

@SpikeRiser @Vinnyyetc Could you give an advice? I’m not sure what made me do it so long, do you make your prompt extra specific with details?

@Vinnyyetc @sonichNik Not if prompted correctly. This is 100% made by an llm in cad.

@justabdulraouf I guess it depends on who you show it to. Some people don’t understand what “work in progress” means and judge it like it’s final.

@sonichNik this ick is not just for designers :(

trying to fight the classic designer ick of hiding work until it looks exactly how I imagined it. showing messy steps, sketches, and things I don’t fully like yet feels so uncomfortable. ew

@mattdykema You can’t know if a new product will succeed in the market until you’ve already spent the time and money to make it.

What's the hardest truth in manufacturing?

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description

@WarnerTeddy Oh wow

it is just ridiculously fun to draw things with

@validotxyz @genspark_ai lol that’s funny

@sonichNik @genspark_ai I started to think for a second why do I have a huge toilet paper on my timeline

test print is done and works exactly as programmed with @genspark_ai Super Agent and forgecad.io now I’ll tweak one small detail for sturdiness, improve the aesthetics, and show you the final result in a few days

there's a seam on every plastic thing u own where the mold split open. once u see it u cant unsee it. sorry

@aaraalto this would be such a cool interactive installation for an art gallery

what if you could design with your voice?

new side quest: trying every AI CAD startup/tool I can find to see if any of them are actually good enough. drop names below

the human body makes sense for humans. but for robots? Or do we make robots humanoid just so they can fit into spaces built for us?

I love robots and automation, but something about trying to make them look and move like people feels wrong to me. I can’t explain why exactly.

@HyperLogistix @earthtojake I’ve seen it, but haven’t tried it yet. Have you?

@sonichNik Familiar with @earthtojake's work?

spent the last couple hours vibe coding 3D-printable parts for a lantern. will let you know if it turns out nice. first time vibe coding models, so I’m very excited

@reticente07 my uni is mostly concept-oriented, so I realized late how important proper CAD skills are. working with a big design studio made the gap obvious. now I need to pick one tool and practice. any advice for a CAD newbie?

@sonichNik are there any specific issues that make it difficult to learn CAD according to you? Is it lack of resources? almost any CAD software you pick (Solidworks/Fusion/Onshape/CATIA/Shapr3D) has tons of tutorials/docs to help you go from basic to intermediate level. and even pro.

At this point it feels like building an LLM platform to make CAD models is easier than learning modeling at a pro level.

@Stewie_dev Yes but for this project I’m trying something new

@sonichNik Do you use blender
