Developer mrr0b0t unveiled "hermes-r0b0t-vibecad", a NousResearch hackathon entry that lets users of any skill level create 3D-printable designs through conversation.
The Hermes agent does the technical work via the build123d Python CAD library, while users supply ideas and feedback. It currently supports Bambu X2D and P2S (with AMS) printers, with a design that makes adding other printer profiles straightforward.
