I've been using Gemini to generate openscad programs for use with my 3d printer. Is cadquery a better option I wonder?

Why do you say it is better than openscad?

After reading some of the docs it does look fun.

Python, so leverage your Python skills and existing libraries.

A nice GUI so you can build, view, tweak, review, iterate.

Will be a nice new toy...
