I didn't need this, but I used AI to 3D print a tiny figurine of myself - here's how

This article walks through turning a single photo into a 3D-printed figurine using AI-powered tools: capturing an image via an AI-assisted DJI drone, refining it with ChatGPT’s image features, converting it to a 3D model through Bambu Lab’s MakerLab PrintU, and preparing/printing it with a multi-color Bambu Lab setup and slicer painting for details. It highlights practical steps like background removal, apparel/logo tweaks, color mapping, support structures, and post-processing, emphasizing how multiple AI components streamline the workflow from image to physical print.
