3D Printing Parts

Story

Would you believe me if I told you that I didn't have to know 3D modeling to create a duplicate of a broken part?

Why Share This?

When I bought my house 10 years ago, I broke these clips for a valence that went over the top of my blinds. And I just put those valences in the garage. Well I recently got me a very capable 3D printer.

The did have another 3D printer but it was crap. It wasn't self leveling and it took so much energy to try and create something let alone get my 3D printer to work.

Now in the age of AI, I created a replacement part using ChatGPT. Yes, you heard that right. After 5 prompts, I was able to recreate the piece and now I can hang my valence back up.
