ChatGPT, Inkscape, and Fusion Workflow to a 3D Printed Seahorse Hanger

🎥
Forgot to buy shower curtain hangers? Let’s fix it fast with a 3D printer.
We start in ChatGPT for the concept, move to Inkscape for quick black-and-white SVG tracing, refine and model in Fusion (earlier known as Fusion 360), then slice and 3D print (PrusaSlicer). You’ll see trim/offset (O), splines, separate bodies, variable extrusions, appearances, and a clean export-to-mesh workflow.

The finished seahorse hanger printed great—and the file is available for a small symbolic fee via the link below.
