  My Mini has also been fantastic! I’ve been running it for about a year with almost no issues, primarily printing petg. Far more reliable than my last two Enders which surprised me. I also just recently upgraded my extruder, heat break and nozzle with Bondtech equipment, which has produced some great results.

  Yeah I mostly stuck with Blender because I didn’t want to tackle a whole new program at the time, and it has fit my needs pretty well since. But I do agree that you are better off with a real CAD program for most things, especially if you are starting from scratch. I haven’t used OpenSCAD much, but it will probably be one of my choices if I need to do more precise/portable work.

  I have to throw a vote in for Blender. It’s certainly not the best tool for precise CAD work, but for those who are already familiar with using Blender, you can create excellent models for 3D printing, even without plugins. I also love the fact that you can animate, shade, and render your models for presentations or documentation all in the same program. Yeah sure, some of the other programs have a similar capability when you install their add-ons and such, but Blender is free and doesn’t force you into any eco system. And seriously, it’s honestly crazy that Blender is free for how good it is.

  Good work man, that’s a nice setup. Loving the custom frame.
