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 really wish onshape had a middle area between free and 1500 USD/y

    Same with Shapr3D (which doesn’t export high res in free mode) I just can’t justify paying for subscriptions when I use it sporadically.

    I don’t sell, and I don’t create frequently

    Uhhhggggg I hate modern software!!!

      OK, use the free tier if you don’t sell… And if you don’t like the terms, FreeCAD is your option.

        Public files aren’t okay. Using public files as a way to get people to pay is also not okay.

        What I’m getting from this community is to stick with Fusion. Which is fine I guess.
