I needed some gears generated recently, and figured I could just get it done with Claude or Chatgpt in OpenSCAD in a few minutes... but oh man was I wrong. I was so wrong.

Wasted half an hour generating absolute nonsense if it even compiled and ended up going with one of those svg gear generators instead lmao.

You'd probably have been better off giving it a basic summary of OpenSCAD grammar and asking for a C or Python program to emit the code.
That worked! I didn't have to give it the grammar, though. https://github.com/knicholes/llm-gears
