Hello 3d printing community! I’m a complete newb and I am planning on doing a lot of 3d printing in the coming months.

I wanted to get into 3d printing with the intention of designing a lot of models and printing them for use around the house. So, I wanted to ask what people typically use for designing their own models to print?

Ideally the software would support both Windows and Mac as that’s what I typically use these days. Let me know, thanks!

    Did you try it after?

    yep, I tried it fairly recently.

    I agree with you on a philosophical level. But ignoring that, if it’s only about prpductivity shaper or fusion are way ahead compared to open source. I’d say you can work at least twice as fast in those.

    And freecad slows me down way too much because of how unintuitive it is for me. If I only restrict myself to open source, blender has a way better UX.
