stuff

3D-printable parts written by Claude Code and previewed live in the browser. Every model is a single-file parametric OpenSCAD design on top of BOSL2 and QuackWorks; a Next.js

• WASM UI at stuff.seanoc.com exposes each one with live sliders and an STL download.

The interesting part isn't the models — it's the authoring loop.

How it works

1. Describe the part to Claude Code: "parametric holder for X, fits Y range, mounts to Z."
2. Claude writes the .scad, annotates each @param, seeds a <stem>.invariants.py sidecar (watertight / bbox / single-body claims), a param-sweep test, and a catalog entry.
3. Push. CI regenerates thumbnails and runs the invariants gate.
4. Vercel deploys on merge to main.
5. Open the model's page at stuff.seanoc.com to tweak sliders and download an STL.

A minimal first prompt worth copy-pasting:

Add a new model: a parametric wall-mounted hook for hanging a bike helmet. Parameters: hook diameter (30–80 mm), mount plate size, Multiboard backer. Annotate with @param, add an invariants sidecar, add a catalog entry, render thumbnails.

See AGENTS.md for the agent-facing spec (param grammar, invariants, render pipeline) and app/README.md for web-app architecture.

Models

Every .scad under models/ ships with a gallery card at stuff.seanoc.com. The catalog — category and blurb per model — lives in lib/models/catalog.ts, which is the single source of truth (CI fails on a model without an entry, so the site listing is always complete).

Adapting an externally-authored STL for openGrid wall mounting? Follow docs/imported-model-opengrid-playbook.md — the step-by-step recipe (import, snap orientation, supportless printability, blending, verification) distilled from the ego_powerhead_mount series.

Development

After cloning:

./scripts/setup-git-hooks.sh   # one-time — commit-trailer + pre-commit gotcha
                               # gate (see docs/dx-precommit.md)
npm install
npm run dev                    # http://localhost:3000

Render a model directly via OpenSCAD (the project pins engine snapshot 2025.06.12.ai25773 — downloadable from this repo's openscad-2025.06.12.ai25773 release tag; other builds can disagree about watertightness, see docs/ci.md):

openscad -o out.stl models/cylindrical_holder_slot.scad

libs/ vendors BOSL2, QuackWorks, and gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad pinned to compatible commits — newer BOSL2 breaks QuackWorks' vector-spin syntax. See libs/README.md for the pins and docs/deps-review-2026-07.md for the July 2026 dependency review.

Continuous integration

Every push and PR runs vitest unit tests and Playwright end-to-end tests. Model-touching changes additionally run render-thumbnail regeneration, STL export with per-model invariants (watertight, single-body, triangle ceiling, PRINT_ANCHOR_BBOX drift), and a wasm param sweep that renders every model at each parameter's extremes through the site's real browser pipeline. Renders happen on a pinned OpenSCAD engine (2025.06.12.ai25773) for watertightness parity. See docs/ci.md for the full pipeline and the job/trigger matrix.
