24 alternatives to Conjure – 3D printed objects from text description only

I like to print, but I'm no artist. So I though of turning the full pipeline of my text -> concept images -> 3D mesh -> postprocess for the specific 3D printing workflow -> order it online into a nice UI. You can obv. also just download the STL and print it yourself!

    Hey HN, I want to share a personal project: I made a tiny pen-plotted book for my wife. I did everything myself—drawings (with some help from Midjourney), plotting, cutting, and binding. I even used a 3D printer to make a helper tool. It's absolutely over-engineered, but I enjoyed it a lot. Multi-disciplinary projects, especially those with a physical output, are a lot of fun for me. The post covers the process in detail, but if you're interested in anything specific, let me know. Cheers!

    Hey HN, I'm a beginner at CAD so I built an app that does it for me ;) Describe a part and ChatToSTL writes the OpenSCAD code, shows a live render with size sliders, then exports the STL&#x2F;3MF file. Because the output is parametric, it's easy to modify (unlike mesh models like Shap-E or DreamFusion). Try it (needs your own OpenAI key): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;spaces&#x2F;flowfulai&#x2F;ChatToSTL How it works: Text prompt → o4-mini generates OpenSCAD code → live render + sliders → refine in chat → export. Examples & Code: * Walkthrough + real prints (bowl, hook, box, door…
