Where did they drop it? On the floor?

FreeCAD, as of today, looks and feels like it was made in 2010 or earlier. I’m sure there is a type of person who FreeCAD check all their boxes and excites them to no end, but I am, sadly, not in that group.

Adobe doesn’t own fusion. Did you mean Autodesk?

The cloud. I hate it. It also has way more than I actually need. It’s bulky. It’s importing assets is very limited in ways that I need.

I’ll take a look at MatterCAD. Thank you for the suggestion.

I did the Plasticity demo, but I got busy and forgot about it. Now I can’t do another demo.

I really wish onshape had a middle area between free and 1500 USD/y

Same with Shapr3D (which doesn’t export high res in free mode) I just can’t justify paying for subscriptions when I use it sporadically.

I don’t sell, and I don’t create frequently

Uhhhggggg I hate modern software!!!

Wow that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while!

Well, CAD and “3D” are not the same thing. Blender is good for 3d, but cad features are stapled on. Also blender has too many knobs—that is not useful for CAD

With plasticity, do you make precision parts where .1mm matters or is it more decorative designs?

What are you used to?

I used OpenSCAD for a bit, and it’s good for simple things where clicking is far less efficient. I once needed a plate with a set of holes. OpenSCAD was great.

I’m using Fusion360, and I dislike it for a lot of reasons, but it’s easy to use. I tried FreeCAD, but it was very janky in comparison. Shapr3D was surprisingly good, but there’s no way I’m paying monthly for my hobby usage. I need precision prints, so I can’t just use Blender or similar.

Is there some magical unicorn software I’m not finding?
