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?
I cant do art
What’s a good AI to do it for me?
lmao
Nit art but aesthetics. Similar but not the same.
And since AI is a stochastic machine that falls perfectly into its scope. Doesn’t have to be “true” as in a correct answer but plausible eg similar to other models.
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.
Thanks for the info!
The bambulabs generator, particularly with the hunuan 3.0 model is really good. I’m using it for custom boardgame minis.
Thanks, I’ll try printmon next. Any hidden limits or fees?
It’s free, but you need to be contributing models and stuff to get a lot of usage, although the monthly free amount is plenty for basic usage
Have you seen: github.com/KoStard/ForgeCAD
I have not but it looks very interesting! I tried openscad but couldn’t get far for the lack of skills. I’ll try this one.
check out the llm benchmarks as well down below
I suck at creating things
how can I steal ideas in the most complicated way and make them seem like I did them?
your comparison of AI to calculators is simple and wrong. your perception of your grandfathers position on calculators is also wrong.
in studies it was found that students that had access to calculators performed worse on tests that banned their use. so yes, calculators made people more error prone and less likely to successfully calculate for themselves. the reason for this being far more related to AI than you probably imagine.
the human brain learns through patterns and long term repetitions. it’s similar to how machine learning happens. multiple failures compound together to form a coherent strategy and skill. AI(LLM)'s are trained in the same way.
so, in essence, by using an AI to generate based off of stolen content it’s similar to using a calculator for your brain. you’re robbing yourself of the opportunity to grow and expand your horizons as a creator, and you’re supporting a system of theft that only diminishes the hard work and efforts of those it stole from.

You’re getting downvoted because AI is causing so much damage and ruining so many things. People still using AI are just adding to the problem and continuing to legitimize the bullshit.
If you truly want to learn aesthetics, read some books, take some classes, get some practice. Learn a new skill!

I disagree. Obviously …
I think ai can be a useful tool for some very specific and well outlined tasks. We need to solve a lot of problems like energy and resource usage to make it sustainable at a small scale and don’t feed the bubble and by extension the repercussions it will have on the world economy. And even if this doesn’t pan out to be a viable tool for modeling I live by the principal that I need to know what I am talking about before I dismiss it.
And yes, the most common argument against that stance is “so to have an opinion about fascism you need to be an fascist?”. No, but I need to read and learn about it nevertheless. This is my learning.

Just a few tiny little details to work out, to do “some very specific and well outlined tasks”. And while those things are being worked on, which may or may not be solvable, real and actual damage is being done now. But hey, who cares right?
