Not trying to flood printables and co with more AI but honestly curious.

I am a person that has no sense for aesthetics whatsoever. In a creative process even less so. This would help me out im some situations. All functional parts j do in freecad.

A thread about myminifactory I asked about some ai site examples to evaluate the model quality. For example, do they know how to avoid overhangs if possible etc.

It got downvoted.

For real: what are some tested ai generators for stl?

EDIT: people are dming me links because (I assume) they don't want to admit they are not completely against ai. That is a healthy atmosphere right there. I agree that ai is taking a bad path right now but the tool itself shouldn't be discarded as a whole. You people are acting like calculators are bad because they let your mind rot. My grandfather was one of those. Simple answers are almost always wrong or incomplete. Think!

The bambulabs generator, particularly with the hunuan 3.0 model is really good. I'm using it for custom boardgame minis.

Thanks, I'll try printmon next. Any hidden limits or fees?

It's free, but you need to be contributing models and stuff to get a lot of usage, although the monthly free amount is plenty for basic usage
