One-shotting a Raspberry Pi UPS HAT CAD model with Claude in a few minutes

burhop · x · 2026-09-08

BrierRat shares his experience with agentic mechanical design: needing a CAD model for a Raspberry Pi UPS HAT, he simply gave Claude Fable the product webpage and it produced the HAT and battery models in a few-minute one-shot. He says it keeps him in the design flow with decisions staying connected, and it's faster too.

Quote-tweeter burhop notes that the transition to AI-driven development has been a dopamine hit for some developers and a source of fear for others — his advice: enjoy the ride and do the designs you never had time for.
