The author discusses the benefits of using a fully automated pipeline combined with parametric design to simplify the process of building intricate projects, with a focus on a recent speaker project. They were inspired by Richard from RMC, who 3D printed an entire arcade machine using a farm of small printers with dovetail joins. The author then delves into creating a dovetail profile using OpenSCAD and automating the process to split up STL files for printing. Despite initial challenges, they found success with the manifold library in OpenSCAD, allowing for faster and more robust designs. The implementation is deemed successful for future speaker projects.
