Hi,
Some months ago, I mentioned that I was experimenting in using ChatGPT
to generate OpenSCAD script. It was hard going. However, it is now much
improved, although it It still tends to hallucinate towards Python, as
it is considerably better at python. Of course, you have to know how to
frame the questions, for it to give the answers you want.
Anyway, I used it to generate a helper for PythonSCAD, as an html file,
but since there is little documentation for PythonSCAD, (but plenty for
Python) it invented a number of useful functions, that do not yet exist.
I thought i could make a similar helper for OpenSCAD, as an exercise,
not a necessity. However, I started to discover that unless I paid for
ChatGPT, or waited a day between responses, it could not create more
than a few KB of code.
So, I tried Deepseek and it fairly quickly understood my basic
requirements, and after a while of tweaking it to create the layout that
I wanted, It produced the attached html. I have made random checks on
the code examples, and they seem to work OK, but I certainly have not
verified all of them. Anyway, the html script is attached, for anyone to
use in any way they wish. I'm pretty sure much has been left out, but I
find it to be quite impressive that it was able to find or generate
succinct example texts, and create a searchable html file.
Best wishes,
Ray

I'm using claude.ai for code generation, it's pretty good.

I think this is a great and clear action!
I use now the Brave browser with build in AI and give also good
basic information and sometimes new views on solutions.
I'm not a pro but use OpenSCAD regular base to make 3D prints.
Thanks again!
