Now just need to glue a machine shop to it like sendcutsend.com

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Please let me know if you have any feedback or hit bugs. I've found printy works best if you prompt her like: 1. Situational context (eg: my kids pull the toilet paper and it free spins till the roll is empty) 2. Specifics (eg: my roll holder is 9mm in diameter and 10cm long) 3. Desired outcome (eg: I want something I can clip on it to add friction and slow the roll down from spinning…
Wait, can you share the STL for that, via the site?
Sure. Here it is: https://printytron.com/m/85mm-rod-square-drop-on-sleeve-y7sy

#33This is pretty cool. I recently purchased some used rims for my car and they have some pretty bad road rash (scratches). I've been playing with TinkerCAD for a bit trying to create a sanding block that would conform to the rim and the bead but it's been harder than expected. Printytron knocked something out in 3 requests and I think it will work pretty well. So, thanks for this project.
If these models can be converted to a parameterized FreeCAD model (or something similar) then it would be cool to be able to download them and change them dynamically. Say, I want to sand down my 22" rims. I wouldn't have to rerun Printytron, I could just change the parameter in the FreeCAD model. Of course, this could be a paid option.

#34This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and so far appears to work much better than my attempts with Claude code and opencad.
Tomorrow I’ll try the real test… printing an object. But so far I’m impressed how smart and accurate the models are.
The site is really well polished already and thanks for the loginless option to try it out. I appreciate you building and sharing this

I love this story so much! Exactly why I built this! I'm going to have to go look at your traces to see your workflow and how you prompted to get what you needed.
Yeah, I'm currently working on how to get other export file types. I want to avoid charging for the service directly and try monetize through printing services or something if I have to monetize. But you're right, alternative export options might be a good premium feature of I had to go that route.

Thank you for sharing and the kind words. Im making this purely for the love of the game, making a product people love and get value from. I know I hate signing up just to try something, so a loginless option was a natural choice.
If people won't use something free, they won't pay. If people won't use something without registering, they certainly will never pay. Fast way to know if I'm making a product people love and use, remove all barriers to using it!

#38Refused to design a dragon dildo :(
Just keep in mind that PLA isn’t safe for sex toys (though you can wrap them with condoms or similar of course). What works well is to 3d print a mold for silicon

#39Pretty impressive demo. Though I’m not looking forward to even more slop models to go through in 3d print catalogs such as makerworld
You're right, it's something I think about too. I'd like to implement some kind of feature that could help prevent or at least highlight gen'd models easily when uploaded to other places if they are low effort. But I'm focusing on improving model quality and trying to get eyeballs at the moment.
You’re doing a great job so far, I tried a few similar CAD generation services and yours generated the best results I’ve seen so far. It’s also really fast
