genius, I have started doing this on web app test suites + playwright in other projects, makes a lot of sense to render shots from all the sides and ortho view and then feed that back to Opus 4.7 or similar as a smoke test.

I'm using it to rough out the skeletons for nebulizer power connector adapters so just throwing a lot of caliper measurements at it with detailed descriptions and reference photos of the connectors I'm duplicating has gotten me far.

I appreciate that effort, seeing Claude start to prototype physical objects that can get mass-produced is unbelievable but wow it uses up tokens like crazy.

I'm using Opus 4.7 w/ the 1M context option on the vibrating mesh nebulizer repo and have hit compacting pretty often which is a restart-the-conversation flag for me on relatively small OpenSCAD files like the adapters and enclosures here which are like 10-40kb: https://github.com/dmchaledev/VibratingMeshNebulizerControll...

I've been using Claude Opus 4.7 into OpenSCAD for creating hacked connectors for vibrating mesh nebulizers. It's incredibly powerful but still needs heavy manual checking to generate anything usable, but holy COW is it powerful when armed with the right info.
