The AI made me a jig for laser etching, ready to slice and print

Six months ago he asked various AI agents to generate 3D print models and they failed badly. This time the AI made him a jig for laser etching and got it ready for slicing and printing.

How it works

  1. Asks the AI to make a jig for laser etching
  2. The AI produces a model ready for slicing and printing

Why it’s worth knowing

The same kind of request that failed badly six months ago came back as a print ready model.
