Where is FreeCad in this one? I've started using it after buying a 3d printer, and it's awesome what that piece of software lets me create.

    Got any links to learning? Ive gotten pretty far in fusion360 but am trying to transition and found f360 let's me be too lazy or sketch centric/doesn't require parametric rules

    Ive found it useful to search for a freecad tutorial for any object on YouTube and follow it, making an actual thing. Even if that thing is not of use to me, I learn from building it and use those concepts in what I want to build.

    I wonder if it changed much in the last year. The assembly implementation is what's holding me back. Well, that and staring at cad all day at work already.

    I csme in here to see if anyone cared for FreeCAD and yup, here I see you. Love it. And it's better than many proprietary softwares I have tried (edited to remove the names), I mean in terms of hobby creation at least. I am trying so as to master it and create professional level CAD drawings. It's light weight, so beautifully intutive and that it runs smoothly on one of my ancient PCs with 2GB RAM, intel Pentium processor running Windows 7. It's truly awesome. So many add ons, leaves one spoilt for choices.

    Also LibreCAD for 2D.
