Let’s say, for the positive case, hash comparison is significantly faster.

I feel like that is quite unlikely. Both the hash and bitwise comparisons read both files in both cases. In the not-equal case the hash reads the entirety of both files, so its slower than a start-to-end bitwise comparison, which exits at the first not-equal bit. In the equal case, both read the entirety of both files. Various other bitwise strategies can be faster than start-to-end, rdfind for example checks the sta…

I think we’re not talking about the same scenario. I’m talking about the case where at least one hash has already been calculated.

Last weekend I bought my wife a bike off marketplace. It was in good condition but was missing one of the internal cable routing grommets. I gave Claude pictures of the pill-shaped hole by itself and with my digital calipers in the long and short directions. Gave it a short prompt and it gave me an openscad model with everything parametrized. I printed with no changes in tpu and it was nearly perfect on the first try…

I was recently trying to get models to generate a 3D fortune cookie. Claude in three.js and Gemini in openSCAD. Neither really got the concept or could get very close at all. It's a surprisingly complex shape I guess.

Amazingly I tried the exact same thing! It also kept making meaningless corrections and was so confident that the blob it had produced was a fortune cookie that it started telling me I was wrong.

Does it optimize for no support?

You optimize for no support when selecting print orientation (but for anything semi-cylindrical like described that would be the only sane orientation and the one slicer would choose when you smash the 'Auto Orientation' button).

Naive/uninformed question: does 3D printing produce any cleavage issues (like you’d get with a crystal) along the directions of printing, and does it ever make sense to change the orientation to help with that?

Of course it does! Inter-layer adhesion is lower than the adhesion within the same layer, so it's often recommended to orient the print in a way that maximizes strength - especially for tensile loads. Sometimes it even makes sense to split the part so that you can print each of them optimally (flat side on the print bed) and get the best strength for the dominant load directions. That applies to functional prints - for decorative stuff you use the direction that gets you the cleanest print.

Still a long way from shorting Autodesk. As a side note Autodesk released an agentic assistant back in December for Fusion. Six months later it is still quite bad.

It is almost comically bad. I've had a few simple parts to design for 3d printing in the last weeks and tried it with them (each are about 4 operations on the timeline), and it never created close to what I was trying to do even if spelled out step by step according to Fusion naming. At this point I'm not even sure if it can properly create a simple primitive solid.

At least it’s super cheerful.

Have you yet tried the Fusion MCP that was launched last month? https://aps.autodesk.com/blog/bringing-fusion-claude-creativ...

I haven’t but I will. There are a million stupid things to do when you build lots of little parts. Robots should do that work

Still a long way to go, but I'm sure it will get there eventually.

Agreed. The labor lockup in CAD is huge.
