Oh, fusion is a heavy beast for sure. I just can’t stand FreeCAD’s interface.
I just wish someone would make an open source project with sketch based modeling and…. That’s all! I don’t need materials, rendering etc. I literally only need STL export.
But it needs to be as easy as shapr3d—which is marvelous, but $38usd/m for some stupid reason.

It doesn’t work. I’ve scoured my system and prefs and can’t find where it’s storing that I’ve done the demo. I’ve tried various emails. I’ll just run it in a VM I suppose!

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.

Public files aren’t okay. Using public files as a way to get people to pay is also not okay.
What I’m getting from this community is to stick with Fusion. Which is fine I guess.

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.
