  FreeCAD. I’m not sure why more people aren’t using tbh.

    Every time I’ve used FreeCAD it felt miserable to use. Idk if I was doing something wrong, but it felt horrendous

      I’ve used it for the past year, and no - you aren’t doing anything wrong. Had the same experience, and the privilege to compare it to Solidworks. There is no contest, other than price ofc

        Hell, I’d rather use Blender than FreeCAD. FOSS devs really need to get some UI and UX designers involved. Or at least someone with the skill set to know how to make not-ass UIs and UXs

    IMHO its because the software lack a lot of polish. At times i found FreeCAD is better that fusion. But for the amount of pain it takes to get the software to work, it makes me want to look elsewhere.

    But man are the tools in freecad good, when they work. Just wish it was multithreaded

    FreeCAD is soooo shitty. The history breaks all the time - small changes introduce so many issues you might just be better off by starting over.

  Solvespace might be exactly what you’re looking for. It is FOSS and works well for simple models. Some functionality is missing though, for example chamfers and fillets.

    I’ll definitely need to check this out, thanks!

    I wish I had time and domain knowledge to add those two to Solvespace. It’s the only thing that I’m really missing. And for 3D printing design chamfers are really necessary, the models print much nicer when there are no sharp corners.

  OpenCAD. But it’s like Photoshop vs Gimp. But also with a bigger learning curve.

    Gimp I got the hang of pretty quickly coming from Photoshop, but switching to OpenCAD has not been a smooth transition from AutoCAD.

      I agree with that statement.

    I'd say it's more like Premiere vs ffmpeg.

    • grayman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That’d be open SCAD.

      • monotremata@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Oh, I literally misread it as OpenSCAD. Laughing at my stupid brain right now.
