Looks cool.

I have had issues with language CAD stuff before, often not performing as advertised and would love to tinker with it.

And whats great here is that I cant test the web version, and because its for mac silicon only, I also cant test the local version.

So Kudos? I guess?

I had some good results using CadQuery [1] with CQ-editor [2] for visualization driven by Claude Code enhanced by a cadquery-llm-skill [3]. I didn't make anything too complicated, just cases for various ESP32 projects I am tinkering with, but that was very easy just describing what I want and iterating and refining until I am satisfied. It was much easier than doing it manually in FreeCAD and more dynamic as the changes were cheap and not tedious to do.
