### Special session: Building CAD with AI follow-up
|
|
|
|
Last month we started testing an AI agent skill that generates 3D models from photos. We learned a lot about what works well and what trips it up, so we are continuing the experiment this month.
|
|
|
|
- If you printed a model generated during the October session, bring the physical print and the original object so we can compare them side by side.
|
|
- If you missed last month or have another broken part, bracket, or household item you want to model, bring it along and we will run it through the updated workflow.

### November challenge: Thanksgiving & fall table prints
|
|
|
|
With Thanksgiving the following week, our November challenge focuses on the kitchen and the dinner table. Bring a print that helps with cooking, serving, or decorating for the holiday meal.
|
|
|
|
**Ideas for entries:**
|
|
- **Table decor.** Napkin rings, place card holders, autumn centerpieces, or candle holders.
|
|
- **Kitchen and serving tools.** Pie crust shields, cookie cutters, measuring scoops, utensil holders, coasters, or trivet stands.
|
|
- **Any model works.** You can design your own part from scratch, use the AI CAD tools, or print a community file from Printables, MakerWorld, or Thangs.
|
|
|
|
### Voting and prizes
|
|
|
|
- Everyone at the meetup gets a vote for their favorite entry based on usefulness, print quality, and how well it fits the Thanksgiving theme.
|
|
- The winner takes home a free spool of filament.
|
|
|
|
See you on **Wednesday, November 18th** at 6:00 PM!
