sha256:a4f001bedc20cf91…
§1Prompt verbatim
Bearing block to house two SKF 6204 bearings (Ø 47 OD, Ø 20 ID, 14 mm wide) on a common axis 60 mm apart on centres. Block envelope 80 × 50 × 40 mm. Two M5 mounting bolts on a 70 × 30 mm rectangle, through-hole with 8 × 1 mm counter-bores. Bearing seats Ø 47 H7 with 0.5 × 45° lead-in chamfer.

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.
