i recently found an ai that makes 3d models from text. ive been messing around with it a tiny bit but now i have a handful of 3d models that im not sure what to do with. the bad thing is i have like no skills and they are not the best looking either. i would 3d print them but i dont own a 3d printer because they are pricey.

so like what can i do with 3d models?

    You can get a decent 3D printer for ~$100 USD these days. Look for an original Ender 3 or one of the many clones of it. For double that you can get something pretty good. If that’s the route you want to go.

    Otherwise learn some modeling software, if you’re going the 3D printing route then CAD can be useful, I like Fusion 360, some people find TinkerCad or FreeCad easier to start with. Tons of tutorials for all of these on YouTube.

    If you just want to edit or make some fun models maybe learn something like Blender.

      This is totally random and off topic, but damn the idea that you can buy a $100 device decently replicates 3d mechanical objects still blows my mind.
