One photo in, custom ebike battery rain cover out: Opus 5.5 models it in Blender
rms80 · x · 2026-10-03
The author's wife's new ebike has a removable battery, but no rain cover for the charging port. He took a single photo and had Opus 5.5 model one in Blender: the first attempt fit, but needed 3 prompt-driven revisions to nail the design.
A striking example of a low-friction personal 3D-printing workflow: photo in → AI-generated model → quick iteration → physical part that works, with no manual modeling skills required.
