I've been using Claude to generate OpenSCAD scripts for the last few months, then exporting to Bambu Studio. Never really liked the OpenSCAD editing part though, so I built a little personal tool: https://webscad.aicentralen.dk/
One neat thing is that each color becomes a separate object on export to Bambu Studio, so it's easy to assign different filaments. One of the first things I made with it was these multicolored tag keys: https://webscad.aicentralen.dk/examples/name-tag

Hi nrjames,
I'm working on a small service that will let you do that using a Raspberry Pi 3 and about 10 minutes of your time.
Would you be interested in super early access? It would be awesome to get some feedback as I'm trying to solve that exact problem: Get a dashboard on a HD tv in an easy way.

What do you think of the solution?
Would you give out your dashboard url and wifi config in exchange for a fast solution to get your dashboard displayed on a Full HD screen?

Which criterias would you use for selecting representative 5-10 devices?

I totally agree that 400+ devices is pretty crazy.
By looking at device usage stats I would say that 20 devices will get you above 90% in one region but you have to use closer to 40 if you aim for 90% on the global market. (Of course it depends on your user base)
However, having 400 devices on the shelf for debugging when you get some strange error report might be very valuable. I would love to have a bucket of CDMA phones available since I can't just go buy one in the store. (I live in Denmark)

I think that one reason is that the handset manufacturer thinker more with Android than they do with a traditional OS. One example is the vendor specific themes.
Another reason for the higher focus on QA is "user ratings". Before companies didn't have to worry much about not supporting all users. With mobile a small percentage of users can give you a bad rating. The bosses are terrified about bad public ratings! :)

When they say "all Android developers" you can be pretty sure they mean "most Android developers".
Working on several high profile apps here in Denmark I have felt the pain of not having enough real devices to test on. A bank just wont accept that you don't support one of the most common phone on the market because it has some problems with the camera.
Another project ran into the BigInteger.modPow is not thread safe issue way too late in the development process because we didn't test intensively on pre 2.3 devices.
After facing all these issues, my current project run automated test on 20 physical devices daily. It also helps us keep the UI looking sharp on all devices.

Awesome!
I just found a place to work from tomorrow here in Rio de Janeiro. Thanks!
