Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.

Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!

    If you code at all OpenSCAD

    If you’ve never done modeling at all TinkerCAD

    If you want the easiest experience Fusion360

    If you live the FOSS doctrine – FreeCAD

      It’s possible that I’m not familiar enough with it, but in my experience OpenSCAD makes the vast majority of projects take way longer compared to non-scripting-based CAD software. I learned Onshape for a class and haven’t used OSCAD since. (though it definitely still has some niche uses)
