the Bambu P1S with AMS is one of the better purchases I've made. I've had an ender3v2 for so long and while it worked ok (and arguably better than many people's experiences with them), I got tired of constantly fiddling with stuff.

Now, it just works. It doesn't matter what I throw at it. Made me get into the CAD hobby too.

>use Claude to write your parametric OpenSCAD scripts

Can you talk a little about it?

Yes, as sibling mentions, there’s not much to it: just crack open Claude or ChatGPT and start asking for what you want, as an OpenSCAD script. You’ll quickly get a feel for it. Others might have more structured approaches they can share.
I use ChatGPT to help me with OpenSCAD and really enjoy it. It doesn't always nail it, but often works as a shortcut, especially with loops to create radial extrusions. You can muck around with things like asking it to give you code to design a castle, and then see how off-track it is.
