News How to Use ChatGPT for 3D Printing: From Prompt to G-Code or STL File

[Admin]

If you have an idea for a 3D printable object but need help figuring out where to start, ChatGPT can help. Even though it might not create a complex design with detailed geometries, it can be a starting point for creating something incredible.

All I keep getting are variations on "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave". Generally of the "...as a text-based AI model, I cannot directly generate or provide 3D models..." variety.

I asked openai's chat gpt if it could generate the g-code or stl for a roughly 1 foot long t-rex skull. It said yes. I asked it to do so, it generated a few dozen lines of code before the chat window stopped showing it. I told it the file was too large for the chat window, it apologized, I asked if it could generate the file and make it available for download, it said yes, I asked it to do so and send me the download link, it sent me a link to a gmail account that didn't exist. I was already logged into my gmail account in another tab on the same browser, so I asked it how we could proceed, it apologized and said it was not possible to create the file since it might be a copyright violation of some sort, and it said it didn't have access to an account where I could download the file even if it was able to post one. So it wasted a lot of time being quite stupid.

chatGPT seems to have very limited capabilities of creating anything other than cubes. Case in point: "Generate a 3D Model of a skeleton using ASCII STL format" produced an STL file of a 4 sided cube with the disclaimer "This is a very basic and abstract representation of a skeleton using ASCII STL format. It defines a simple cube, which can be interpreted as a basic representation of a skeleton's structure. A more detailed and recognizable representation of a skeleton would require complex 3D modeling software."
