Could you build this?
Partial Text-to-CAD with an LLM generating OpenSCAD and a chat refinement loop is doable, but reliably producing precise, printable parts with working moving mechanisms is a hard geometry and validation problem.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine an LLM generating OpenSCAD or CadQuery code, a headless CAD kernel for rendering and export to STL, OBJ, and GLB, and a mechanical validation step (interference, tolerances, print feasibility). The hard part is making generated mechanisms actually fit and move correctly, which needs CAD and mechanical design expertise plus test harnesses.
