Try again without the need for an OpenAI-Key.
Fair point. I went with BYO key since I can’t cover OpenAI usage at scale for a hobby project, but I might look into free LLMs on Hugging Face.

I prototyped something like this with build123d for Python and Cursor + OCP VSCode plugin.
Build123d is too new with too little examples out there, unlike OpenSCAD. I can only get it to generate good code with largr reasoning models that access the latest docs. No fast iteration for build123d yet.
Yeah, I picked openscad since it's well known to LLMs, though the downside is that it's not a python lib. For visualization I used trimesh to load the STL data and then plotly to display it.
