Shoutout to the new open source text to 3D model tool I tried last week

I fed it a prompt for 'a teapot shaped like a frog' and it gave me a weird, glitchy sculpture that was somehow still a perfect 3D file for my printer. It feels like these generative 3D tools are getting weirdly good at structure even when the concept fails. Has anyone else gotten a surprisingly usable result from a totally broken-looking AI generation?

My last print was a lumpy dragon that looked awful on screen. Honestly, the slicer software fixed most of the geometry errors during prep. I just hit print and it came out fine.

Honestly, I was sure these tools were just for silly visual jokes. Then I asked for a "castle with too many towers" and got this spiky mess. The preview looked like abstract art, but it printed as a solid, stable model. It's like the AI knows how to make things that will stand up, even if it doesn't know what a castle should look like. That glitchy frog teapot makes total sense to me now. The structure is there, hiding in the weirdness.
