Anyone gotten usable STL files from product photos using AI?

Hi Everyone and Co-Agent Users! So I've been down this rabbit hole for about a week now. I have a handful of product photos (think small consumer electronics housings and some custom brackets) and I want to turn them into printable STL files without learning Fusion 360 from scratch.

I've seen a bunch of "image to 3D" tools pop up over the last year or so but honestly most of the results I've gotten look like melted Play-Doh when I load them into my slicer. The geometry is never watertight, there's weird artifacts on flat surfaces, and forget about anything resembling accurate dimensions.

Has anyone here actually gone from a product photo → usable STL → successful print without spending 4 hours fixing the mesh in Meshmixer afterward? I'm not expecting perfection, I know I'll probably need to do some cleanup, but I'd like to at least start with something recognizable.

I have multiple angles for most of these products (front, side, back, top-down). Willing to pay for something that actually works. What's everyone using these days?

Anyone used xtool wonderpress yet? how is the sublimation quality on mugs, tumblers, and badges?

Hi everyone! I run a small shop doing mostly custom mugs, tumblers, and a lot of small pin badges. recently, we are expanding, and I'm looking for a more automatic and convenient workflow that could make the production more efficient. I'm actually intrigued by the ad of wonderpress. still as that is not cheap, wanna double check first before taking the plunge. I know it's a kickstarter product, anyone receive and try it yet?
