Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.
Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!
This will be unpopular, but I would recommend getting an autoddsk Inventor eduational license, if you can, to learn the basics of parametric modeling. Build up general skills and then graduate to a FOSS solution like Freecad. I would recommend finding broken gadgets/toys and home and reverse engineering replacement parts.
@debiangamer I think it is important to note that if you’re learning any modeling software, it is important to follow tutorials to learn the process and workflows (especially with FreeCAD)

Do you have a good interactive parametric tutorial suggestion?
