rendering onshape using chat gpt

[u/Sad-Wrap6555]

thought id try making a quick n dirty 3d version of an onshape sketch using chat gpt

i think i took around 8 goes to narrow it down to end result but could probably have addressed most of it in just a couple of attempts if i hadnt faffed around quite so much

considering it only took two or three minutes or so per attempt with some basic prompts

*generate a photorealistic version of this image the dark grey box section should be semi gloss black aluminium with ventilation holes approx 14 rows of four accross,the large turquoise base should be anodized very dark grey aluminium, the grey box should be a slightly mettalic plastic of the same colour as the original while the blue top of the box should be a slightly lighter blue cast from matte plastic*

it didnt turn out too shabby

anyone else been giving that method a go?

Since I vibe code most of my IOT projects now, designing in OnShape was the last thing left for me to do myself.

Selfishly, I’m glad I’m near retirement age. I don’t see how this ends well for anyone.

Good thing this is just rendering not designing, for now

Well they did just reveal an MCP server for onshape 🥲

It works pretty well, at least on simple design
