Neat example of the strengths and weaknesses of vibe coding… But if anyone here is looking for a solid browser-based parametric CAD solution, [onshape](https://www.onshape.com) is the best there is. It’s missing a few tools that more complex alternatives have but if all you need is something easy to learn so you can make things to 3d print it’s a good choice
Onshape is indeed fantastic for hobbyists and professionals alike.
Their licensing model is reminiscent of early Github days in that you can use all available modeling features free of charge, but must pay for a private repo. Otherwise, all user generated content is publicly available.
this is free and open source :) also runs directly in your browser / offline. onshore requires an account and internet connection because it streams to your browser
Nice UI. Pretty cool to see a CAD program in the browser, without even an annoying login to try screen. On the other hands it seems to be pretty choppy and I was visual artifacts about 5 seconds into the tutorial. I got the same artifacts in Zen and Chrome.

The licensing cost has a few more digits than GitHub ever did.
And you are locked in.

I guess it requires paying for something external rather than being batteries included.

Vibecoding expedites the easy parts fantastically.
But the hard parts are hard. Really, damn hard.
Can we see it?
