I used AI to turn a simple sketch into a 3D printable model—no 3D modeling skills required! In this video, I’ll walk you through my AI-powered workflow step by step: from creating an image with Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to converting it into a 3D model with Trellis and finally 3D printing the best designs!

🔹 Step-by-Step Workflow:
✔️ Sketch a basic design in Krita
✔️ Use AI (Stable Diffusion + ControlNet) to generate an image
✔️ Convert the image into a 3D model using Trellis (no manual 3D modeling needed!)
✔️ 3D print the final models and assess the results

🚀 AI doesn’t replace creativity—it enhances it! This process eliminates the need for complex 3D modeling software, making it easier than ever to bring your ideas to life.

👉 Watch until the end to see the 3D prints in action! Let me know what you’d create with this workflow in the comments!
