I’m using Fusion360, and I dislike it for a lot of reasons, but it’s easy to use. I tried FreeCAD, but it was very janky in comparison. Shapr3D was surprisingly good, but there’s no way I’m paying monthly for my hobby usage. I need precision prints, so I can’t just use Blender or similar.

Is there some magical unicorn software I’m not finding?

    I use FreeCAD.

    I follow Mango Jelly Solutions and DeltaHedra on YouTube for tutorials.

    I’ve had excellent results designing items for 3D prints.

      Mango’s videos are great. I’d wager there are gems in there for even experienced users of freecad. I’m often surprised by some of the tricks he has.

        There are gems. I sometimes need to do things I don’t often do in FreeCAD. A quick refresher from Mango, and I’m back in the groove.
