AI-designed press-fit enclosure for a presence sensor

I had GPT 6 Astra design a small box for a presence sensor I'm building, describing what I wanted in a few messages rather than writing any code or touching CAD myself. The first thing it generated worked: press-fit, with the ESP, the sensor and the lid all fitting together perfectly. I did a few iterations later to change things, and after those it fits perfectly.

A compact case for Milwaukee screwdriver bits

I bought a set of Milwaukee screwdriver bits and loved them immediately, but the case they came in was pretty massive, so I designed a much smaller one and printed it. The lettering on the lid is embossed and flood filled in a second colour, which meant working out how to do a multi colour print while my AMS was misbehaving. In the end the AMS held together long enough to get the part printed, and the result is fantastic.
