Got a 3D printer recently (P2S)… Learned a bare minimum amount of CAD and then discovered gpt-5.6 can do quite a bit without it!

A chat assistant revising a 3D-printable model on request: it reports moving a Touch ID opening 31.5 mm farther right to the upper-right of the removable cap, cutting through the top shell only with the underside left intact, and verifying the STL and 3MF stay watertight as two printable parts, with download links beside a 3D viewer showing the part on a print bed.

and…revise…

A chat assistant reporting a further revision of the same 3D-printable model: V12 adds a 19 mm squircle Touch ID opening, a 25 mm shallow fingertip dish, and a subtle 0.5 mm recessed bezel, cut into the top surface only with the underside and slide joint left intact, keeping the V11 Touch ID position and leaving the cap a separate object that can be reprinted alone, beside a 3D viewer showing the rounded-square recess on the part.
