Very impressive.

The only thing that looks a bit bad is that the models produced need to be fixed before being able to be sliced.



Indeed. It looks to me like the export here is probably ThreeJS STLExporter? It is known for creating non-watertight models, unfortunately.

PrusaSlicer seems to do an adequate job tidying these up automatically.

I think it's not particularly uncommon for STLs exported from common CAD packagers to have some of these issues, though this is a lot.

Super-nice otherwise though -- a neat design. And in general I think client-side tools like this have a lot of potential. Three.js opens up potential for doing task-focussed things without using OpenSCAD on a server or a full emscripten build of OCC (like Cascade Studio does)
