OpenSCAD feels very dated, not only due to the editor and the fonts used, but shortcomings due to language limitations when coming from other software, but it works.


Also the fact that sometimes things can take ages to render.

I did have some fun results getting ChatGPT to create OpenSCAD scripts. It created a fully functional parametric christmas tree for me, which I thought was kinda cool.


how big are your assemblies? I had some issues on large assemblies but after Manifold rendering release it became much much faster.


There is also https://github.com/mirmik/zencad. Full Python and OpenCASCADE core, so feels less quirky than OpenSCAD.


I had much better experience with a VSCode and anOpenSCAD extension compared to the stitch editor. Pair that with the latest master build for extra performance.
