Few days back a colleague shared a video where the guy built a Voice to (3D) Print automation using ChatGPT, Python, Rhino 3D, and Grasshopper - and it was absolutely amazing. You can watch the original video here.

I knew someone would do that eventually but his implementation was perfect. I tried to build a small prototype of Instructions to G-Code (Geometric Code) in the past but that never really worked. I guess, G-Code is too low-level and I now realize I should have tried at a higher level language like Python. My experience is still very limited in terms of 3D printing automation and tools, I mostly use TinkerCAD and OnShape, as those are free.

After seeing his video, I decided to give it another shot, within few hours, I have the first model working and printed 😅. Yes, it does very basic things as of now, but the whole reason why this is very exciting is because I have no prior experience in Rhino 3D or the rhinoscriptsyntax python library but I could build and print this.

How it works

• Configured a Custom ChatGPT RhinoPythonGPT with specific instruction set and knowledgebase of rhinoscriptsyntax and additional scripts.
• Start interacting with the GPT to generate the object scripts.
• Copy the script to a Python file and load the script into Rhino 3D.
• Export the object into STL file.
• Load the STL into BambuLab Studio, slice and send to the Device. I have BambuLab A1 Mini.
• Start Printing...

Here is the whole sequence in a short video.

Happy Experimenting 🚀
