Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

It's significantly simpler and lacks a lot of features FreeCAD has, but it doesn't crash and does just enough for me to be able to design whatever I need for 3D printing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Skirfir@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I think they both have their advantages. I found SolveSpace a lot more flexible with how you can create constraints. In FreeCAD constraining a line in proportion to another line is AFAIK impossible but at least not at all intuitive in FreeCAD but it's quite easy in SolveSpace. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Of course. But I find myself reaching towards SolveSpace almost exclusively when I need CAD, than FreeCAD. Perhaps because my tasks are lighter. permalink fedilink source parent
