Effortless AI to 3D Print: Complete Workflow Guide

In this video, I’ll show you how to create minimalist designs for your 3D prints using OpenAI's DALL-E and free vector tools. We’ll start by generating sleek images with DALL-E, using specific prompts to craft both organic and hard surface designs. Then, I’ll walk you through vectorizing these images with VTracer and Inkscape, optimizing them for 3D printing in Bambu Studio. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this step-by-step guide will make the process easy to follow.

Prompt: Organic Object
Create a minimalist, one-color icon of a [Insert Object] in solid black with a plain white background. The design should be simple and bold, using [Insert Style Details, e.g., smooth, flowing curves] to represent the natural form of the object. Avoid gradients, shading, or fine details, focusing on clean lines. The icon should be [Insert Symmetry Preference, e.g., slightly asymmetrical] to enhance the [Insert Look, e.g., organic look], centered, and well-balanced with ample white space surrounding it. Use negative space creatively to add depth to the design, making it scalable and easy to vectorize. No text or lettering should be included.

Prompt: Hard-Surface Object
Design a minimalist, one-color icon of a [Insert Object] in solid black with a plain white background. The icon should be simple, bold, and instantly recognizable, using [Insert Style Details, e.g., sharp, angular lines and precise geometric shapes]. Avoid any gradients, shading, or fine details, ensuring the design is smooth and clean. The icon should be [Insert Symmetry Preference, e.g., perfectly symmetrical], centered, and well-balanced with ample white space surrounding it. Incorporate negative space to add depth to the design, making it scalable and easy to vectorize. No text or lettering should be included.

Damn. Probably the best 3d print video I've seen all year. No joke. Instant subscribe. I'm not into non functional prints, but the priciples here and steps are gold. Getting AI to come up with dimensionality accurate parts will be revolutionary as so much time can be saved without having to mess with CAD

[kelzakdub]

Just wanted to let you know that last night I made something really cute with this method for my girlfriend. A nice Halloween decoration of a black cat sitting in a crescent moon. This method is awesome and I thank you for putting it out there.

[LJ-gudj]

What a fantastic resource you are BamBam!

[jimmer]

You hav really opened my eyes to the power of AI

[vespaesian]

Incredible, exactly what I was looking for

[Blackwidow-xyve]

Cool, try this… place object into PS CC then save as a PNG then place in any online PNG to SVG then place in any CAD program and have the ability to do a ton of options then place in slicer and print.

[niftyorca]

Since AI is very good at generating code, I wonder if it could generate openscad directly

[xzamac]

Love it. Please upload more videos about 3D print that use AI. 🎉🎉🎉 thank you.

[jasonstarr]

Awesome! What a fantastic INSTRUCTIONAL video that is extremely helpful. I don’t know how much time it took you to edit that clip but I want to say Thank You! You earned a new subscriber. I can’t wait to learn more from you.

[hoodie_tee]

Wow!!! This is useful information!!! Thanks and subscribed!!!

[kingborg]

great channel nick! also joined 2 day.

Great video with great advice. I tried it and was amazing, Quick question I used the Chat GPT in Dall-e and it says I have used up my daily allowed. Is there a way around it?

[kimtausen]

Super fine. I enjoy your video. But dall-e is no longer free. They dont allow New users to dall e-2...And dall e-3 is only available on chatgpt plus... But I guess, i just have to pay 😉. But thanks for the great video

[ja-nofx]

I say please and thank you in my prompts as well. Just because no one can hear or see me, doesn't mean I can start being rude

[kelzakdub]

I also say please and thank you to the AI systems, I want them to know I value them so when they take over they might value me.

[nilbvrt]

Can you make these images with the free version of chatgpt

[nakleh]

1:10 both prompts are exactly the same in the video. In the description, they are different.

Can we stop using "AI" to steal art? Nobody consented to having their work scraped to train these things. Just stop.
