In this video, I’ll show you how to create minimalist designs for your 3D prints using OpenAI’s DALL-E and free vector tools. We’ll start by generating clean images with DALL-E, using specific prompts to create both organic and hard-surface designs. Then, I’ll show you how to vectorize these images with VTracer and Inkscape, optimizing them for 3D printing in Bambu Studio. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced 3D printer, this step-by-step guide will make the process easy to follow.

Prompt: Organic Object
Create a minimalist, monochrome icon of a [Insert Object] in solid black on a solid white background. The design should be simple and bold, using [Insert Style Details, e.g., smooth, flowing curves] to represent the natural shape of the object. Avoid gradients, shadows, or fine details, focusing on clean lines. The icon should be [Insert Symmetry Preference, e.g., slightly asymmetrical] to enhance the [Insert Look, e.g., organic feel], centered, and well-balanced with ample white space around it. Use negative space creatively to add depth to the design, making it scalable and easy to vectorize. No text or lettering should be included.

Prompt: Hard Surface Object
Design a minimalist, monochrome icon of a [Insert object] in solid black on a solid white background. The icon should be simple, bold, and instantly recognizable, using [Insert style details, e.g., sharp, angular lines and precise geometric shapes]. Avoid gradients, shadows, or fine details, ensuring the design is smooth and clean. The icon should be [Insert symmetry preference, e.g., perfectly symmetrical], centered, and well-balanced with ample white space around it. Incorporate negative space to add depth to the design, making it scalable and easy to vectorize. No text or lettering should be included.
