Hey there! As a 3D printer addict I do a lot of small parts in CAD to print and use around the house. Lately I’ve been exploring all sorts of CAD software since finding out there’s a more around than just Fusion360 and Onshape so I started exploring what’s out there and jotting down my impressions.

Hope this is not spam, just want to help people see what’s around and help them pick!

    I started with freecad to design my 3d prints, and am now learning the path took for CNC code generating. Pretty food software, but the learning curve is a bit steep. At least there are many youtube channels dedicated to it. Blender can also be used to generate printable 3d models.

      I will probably try out Blender with CAD Sketcher because I have a neat use case for it where I’d like both constrained geometry and pure meshes to work together and that seems the best candidate for it!
