I've been "vibe coding" with OpenSCAD with good results! OpenSCAD will automatically detect changes in the current open file and reload it, so I can use VS Code (with the OpenSCAD extension) to vibe code with Claude, and watch the changes appear on the OpenSCAD screen

You might have an easier time doing that with claude code.

Possibly, but for reasonably quick tasks it's nice to get previews or downloadable artifacts in the UI (I use the Claude Desktop app)

try modelrift.com ? Llms are bad at spatial understanding but you can steer them using annotated screenshots ("annotation mode" of modelrift) and get something working: https://modelrift.com/models/cable-conceal-box-with-wall-mou...
