I own a 3d printer, and I print things from time to time. My old box fan was missing the speed knob, so I figured how hard would it be to make another one of these guys? So I searched on Maker World, confident I would find one that was Close Enough™. I did not. So I tried my hand at CAD, and it turns out I suck at CAD. But, I don't suck at software, so I made this app.
Figure equips an LLM agent with extensive OpenSCAD knowledge and allows a user to chat about the model, and adjust parameters. It worked out well for me, but I cam curious if others find it useful. It's a free beta for Apple Silicon machines now (ARM64), and I'm planning on adding support for Linux and Windows soon. Thanks for looking!
It's really handy for quick things like "what's the capital of country x" but for coding, I feel that it is severely limited. With such a small context it's (currently) not great for complicated things.
This is appealing to me as a Python backend dev-- but if I end up building something cool for my own personal use, and I want to deploy it so others can use it-- is that a thing for this? I don't see any kind of documentation for deploying it, but that could just be on me. I realize this is touted as a demo-friendly / internal tool so that just might not be aligned for this type of thing.
