🤮 Freecad is a barely functioning mess, fusion360 is a professional level cad that’s free for hobbiest and infinitely more usable.
I spend most of my day doing cad work, I can jump between Catia, NX, Solidworks, Fusion360 with no problems but Freecad is just horrible. I want to like Freecad but the simplest things are the hugest pains in the ass, it’s feature set is huge but none of the features are actually polished.
I learned the basics of 3D printing and Fusion 360 (CAD software) via youtube. And the 3D printing has gotten easier since I learned.
3d printing without basic cad skills is almost useless imo. I use freecad now but I’ve made tons of useful precision fit things using tinkercad.
