I hate it that zuck is the one promoting open weight models.

I have started tje POC 2 years ago without AI. When it reached a shape I like I started using AI. Now all code is AI written but I'm still controlling the overall architecture.

I'm a developer and hobbyist woodworker too :)
I'm also the developer of FluidCAD. It has an MCP you can wire to any LLM. It runs locally on your machine.
It is still missing features for splitting the model into parts, but that is coming in a future release.

Shamelss plug:
I have built FluidCAD[1] to overcome the issues of CAD by code, less mental effort to design by providing visual guidance. Slowly it became more of a hybrid CAD experience (mouse or code driven), almost all features now can be done by mouse and the code is generated for you. It'll pick the right selection filters for you.

From my experience trying to build parametric CAD modeling using FluidCAD [1] using its MCP, the biggest breakthrough is ASTRA. It seems to work well actually with any CAD if it has ways to verify its output. No otjer models was able to match its accuracy even Fable.

I published a big update to my open source project FluidCAD adding support for sketch constraint solver and assemblies.
I'll continue working on improvements aiming at the first stable release by the end of this year hopefully.

I continue working on FluidCAD, a hybrid CAD by code (JS) + mouse based modeling.
I'm focusing on improving the 2D sketcher this week.

I work on FluidCAD on my free time.
I published v0.0.40 last weekend with some big updates.

Replicad is designed primarily to be used as a library with the web editor as a helper.
FluidCAD is designed to be used as full CAD package code + UI. I've outlined some of my motives in recent post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47721997

Only step import at the moment. I'll add svg next.
