This portable microscope was designed by Opus 5 I gave it a few simple requirements, and it generated the whole design in code Lots of details and interactions It looks sci-fi, but it can be easily 3D printed Some of the code can even run on a Raspberry Pi... Live link ↓show more

I don't usually share live links because it takes extra effort to get models to optimize performance and test everything, which is the boring part. But for something like this, performance isn't really the goal, and it's fun to play around with. So here's the "it works on my machine" version 😉

This can be done purely with code? Any other plugins/connectors needed?

yes, you don't need plugins or connectors

opus 5 just designed a 3d printable microscope from scratch

This is fucking awesome!.

thanks Gabriel

@threejs I love this!! Thanks for sharing

thanks Joebed

that's pure skill

@aliuagon_ thanks

so cool !

thanks INK

wow this is crazy! great work

thanks

time to find old optics to repurpose

@threejs This is awesome! I’m curious how you made it. Did you use Blender MCP?

No, this was made purely with three.js. In terms of looks, I'm sure if I started with Blender MCP and then imported it into three.js, I'd get a better result. The issue is that during that process, the model loses context around things like why it added a button in a certain place and what that button is supposed to do. So when it comes to making everything interactive in three.js, it becomes much more difficult. There's probably a better workflow for this, but I haven't found one yet.

@threejs Thanks for your kind response!

So amazing🔥

thanks

cooooool!

thanks Curtin

simple requirements = detailed architecture description of the microscope?! Brilliant as always, @DilumSanjaya 👏

thanks Sofiia!

I want it and I don’t even know what it’s for

😂

Wow seeing you first till share the link to test 😅

haha, most of my posts about things I coded myself do have CodePen/live links. but those were more for developers who are familiar with issues around performance and responsiveness. now my focus is on getting people who aren’t familiar with code to build cool stuff. to them, those might feel like issues with vibe coding rather than me just choosing not to spend time fixing them, since I’d rather use that time to experiment with different ideas. anyway, I might start posting links to at least some of the demos 😅

Designed straight from requirements into 3D printable code

HECK FN YEAH - this is dope. THIS IS FN AMAZING How can I get the UI/UX prompt -- meaning the UX of buttons and sliders and joystick Should be components for all sorts of experiences. This is one of the best things ive seem in a while.

Does it work?

提示词是什么

just curious, can i get the prompt you used, if thats ok?

Can you share the cad?
