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!
Use TinkerCad for basic shapes and anything where I am more interested in the visual appearance than the exact measurements.
Use OpenSCAD for anything where precision matters. But, I’m an OK hack at programming and math; so, it’s a pretty natural way for me to think.
Keep meaning to give a “real CAD” program a try and keep falling back on what I know. Some day I’ll do more than open FreeCAD and run screaming away from my computer.
