I also use OpenSCAD and have played around with getting claude.ai and ChatGPT to generate code. They are much better at OpenSCAD than Foxpro. I also found myself trying to size and align some things that OpenSCAD didn't seem good at, so I started experimenting with Cadquery and cq-editor. There were a lot of things to like about them. Still, unfortunately, with my lack of knowledge and ability for Python tooling and dependencies, I could never get them both working together. Then, I discovered that you can programmatically create objects in Blender using Python. So many choices! I still prefer OpenSCAD, but I am also more familiar with it. I went down this rabbit hole because I bought a 3d printer, which then turned into half a dozen 3d printers because I've heard you can't have just one...
