I own a 3d printer, and I print things from time to time. My old box fan was missing the speed knob, so I figured how hard would it be to make another one of these guys? So I searched on Maker World, confident I would find one that was Close Enough™. I did not. So I tried my hand at CAD, and it turns out I suck at CAD. But, I don't suck at software, so I made this app.

Figure equips an LLM agent with extensive OpenSCAD knowledge and allows a user to chat about the model, and adjust parameters. It worked out well for me, but I cam curious if others find it useful. It's a free beta for Apple Silicon machines now (ARM64), and I'm planning on adding support for Linux and Windows soon. Thanks for looking!
