The AI designed my model train tracks and I 3D printed them

He bought an N scale model train on Vinted. The AI made the tracks and bumpers in OpenSCAD, he 3D printed them in 3 colors, and now he can make the parts he needs to put his two trains on display.

How it works

  1. Buys an N scale train on Vinted
  2. The AI makes the tracks and bumpers in OpenSCAD
  3. He 3D prints them in 3 colors
  4. He can now produce the parts to display his two trains

Why it’s worth knowing

The tracks in his display are not bought parts. They came off his own printer, from designs the AI wrote as code.
