Geneva drive — 4 station
sha256:9001fe2bc0aa3411…
§1Prompt verbatim
External Geneva drive: driver crank Ø 50 mm with one Ø 6 mm pin on a 20 mm radius, driven wheel 4 stations with 90° indexing slots. After one full driver revolution the driven wheel must rotate exactly 90° ± 0.05° with no interpenetration during the dwell.

Each tile is rebuilt from the canonical parametric description and degraded to match the agent's scored profile (tessellation, non-manifold face removal, dimension scale jitter, missing features). Image-only diffusion models render visually plausible meshes but score in the single digits on BREP fidelity — the geometry is not a manifold solid even when the render reads clean.
